No engine? WUWT?

*Supplemental.

Thanks to everyone for the support and comradery. I'm pretty pleased with this build. Certainly an improvement from my last project, but there's always things you want to do better. Things like a last minute mishap with the windows. I had trouble with the front end. Everything test fit great , but then ended up with a big gap b/w the hood and grille. I manipulated it with a lighter but scarred the chrome plate. I did use foil at the rear, but I used a metallic Sharpie pen and Molotow on the trim. Top of the front window trim crept up the roof a bit. I'll probably leave it. I ordered some aftermarket hood pins from Ebay for decoration and still waiting. I like the window decals for the color, but they just seem a little big to me. Got lazy about seatbelts because it was 1964. Good times. *I had fun with my first attempt at "diorama" photos. I finding I get a kick out of setting up the photos.

Had I noticed earlier that would have been a good idea.

I'm a bit disappointed the decals size does not match the mold on the body. Trust me they are not just misaligned.

Gonna build a photo backdrop. Any tips on weathering these kinds of objects? I want the barrels and ice machine to look used.

That's a nice case. May I aske where you obtained it?

Tamiya Metallic Candy Lime Green went down pretty good. Now I wet sand or just polish?

Very nice work, I gotta get some of those PE keys, awesome. My '64 RestoMod Nova is coming along. Nowhere near you caliber, but hey, it's green. PS. The lighting is horrible. The Tamiya Metallic Candy Green went down nice.

Yeah, I know. At least it's a brand new can..HaHa. I have Tamiya primers on order but the weather finally got nice and I could not wait. We'll call it an experiment. I do want the final "feel" of the flat primer coat/s to be smooth, correct?

That paint job finish with that tru 70s color is far out! I like the engine decals touch.

Body: Seems to always be my nemesis. Let me know if my plan is sound. A couple coats of flat white Rustoleum primer. Appears I may have overscribed. How many coats of primer before color? Do I wet sand the primer coat, or only dry?

Interior: I'm Going with it. I still struggle to get an even coat with Molotow for chrome bits.

Where can I find some of those scaled hot rod decals?
