Dunno about you, but just the other day I finished up a build ('69 Ford Galaxie) I started 52 years ago. :blink:

Best I remember its called Light Iris . had it mixed locally and sprayed it thru an airbrush.

Pontiac Iris Mist, same as Chevrolet Evening Orchid metallic.  Testors had it in their lacquer auto color line (no longer available).  Can get through MCW or Scale Finishes or touch up paint companies.  I recollect was a one year only color

Not quite as long, but I still have a few I'm finishing up from junior high school (1986-'89) and high school. College for that matter, too.

With the skyrocketing prices, maybe it'll force me to finish up everything....

I really like the wheels on this build! Not what I would have chosen, but the work really well.

Hi Alan!

The car was subdued on purpose, so I figured some "out of the ordinary" wheels should do.

They are front wheels from a RC controled Maisto split window early Corvette, in what I believe is 1/18th scale (but not certain about the scale). The rear wheels were too wide, so I sacrified two of those cheap "toy" vette to get the complete set I needed.

HI!

Built this one, from the Prestige series. Was molded in blue. No issues whatsoever. But the interior was rather "simplistic". I "curbed my enthusiasm", and settled for a curbside. 

So much styrene, so little time...
