Built-up AMT '29 Model A

Got this nice older AMT '29 Model A on eBay for $4. Body was brush painted, the other parts that were painted were brush painted, but with acrylics it looks like. All the pieces are there except the front bumper. What should I do with this?

Not rare or desirable enough for a complete teardown and rebuild. 

Paint's not in good enough shape for a "Snake-Fu rescue." :unsure:

If I HAD to do something with it, I'd mix a little tan and/or light gray paint into Dullcoat and start airbrushing it until I'd reached a credible level of "barn find dirt/dust" overall. The yellow would have to go first, of course.

Making progress. It came apart easily as the orange colored glue had become very weak. I think I'll keep the fenders not his one and go for a two tone paint scheme (no rust this time).

This neat club plaque was hiding inside the body of the kit.
