It's a box art build. I've been working on this one off and on for a few years and decided to get on it and finish it. It will be close to the orginal art except the wheels which I changed to chrome reversed. I always thought they would look better than the moons on steelies.

I love the "Jetsons" interior in this kit
I mixed up Testors Kandy Scarlet and Metalflake purple
Here it is as of yesterday-BMF'd and first mock up
Really sharp modeling here. I enjoyed your "imagineering" on the inner door structures. Looks great, looking forward to seeing this old war liner completed.
Nice kit and congrats on your bid. FWIW that kit has the same chassis and related parts as the MPC Ford GT 40 MK IV and J car. I bought one to use in a J car resto which sadly, still sits in the box on the shelf....like so many others.
Thanks. That helps out a lot. FWIW the agency in the area I was in in 69-70 had 69 models. The regular patrol cars had 302's in them and the "traffic" units that patroled the Expressways and such had 429 wedge mills and generally looked heavier duty all around.
