I'm going to go with Metallic Silver, and a blue interior. Apparently that was one of the dealer options back then. I just need to figure out how I'm going to paint the vinyl. That interior blue looks a bit challenging...

That looks sharp. This is the type of finish I really like.

Currently working on the Revell '76 Gran Torino. As a kid growing up in the 70's I have a real soft spot for cars from this time, especially typical daily rides that I would have seen in my neighbourhood back then. First car kit I've built in more than 40+ years, and it's going together nicely. I don't know if this is considered a "good" kit, but I'm really enjoying so far. I've got the engine and chassis built and just finishing up painting before installing them.I ended up mixing up some blue for the engine, as I couldn't really find anything at my hobbyshop. I know Testors makes (made?) a Ford engine blue, but they didn't have any stock. I tried to match it with pictures I got on line. I think I got pretty close. I left it a bit brighter, because I want to do some oil washes and weathering.

Hey All, Long time lurker on the site, and new member from Toronto. An amazing amount of inspirational work here! I mostly build military stuff, airplanes and AFV's, but I've been wanting to build a car kit for ages. The last time I built one was probably at least 45 years ago. Mostly interested stock vehicles, and anything from about the 1930's to the 1970's. Anyway, looking forward to being part of this group and learning some stuff. Evan

Looks sharp.
