Like the way you did your two-tone colors and adding the chrome trim. Clean looking interior and engine detailing.

This build has the "look" and the stance. Great color and the way the engine and suspension colors all work together. Very clean looking mechanical details.

Great looking barn find. There may be no saving this one. Have known a few that rusted off of the frame by this point.

Beautiful looking color and the body kit makes this look even more exotic.

Great looking paint color and finish. For what it's worth, your problem with the wheels sitting to wide is an issue that I encountered as well building the original GT/GTA Fairlane kit years ago. Just something that AMT got wrong, but it is a nice kit.

Beautiful looking paint color and finish. The interior contrast looks great.

Beautiful looking paint finish and the painted accent trim looks good. Like the wheels and tires along with the stance. Was the Hemi engine in this kit?

Beautifully done body work and paint. The body doesn't look like a toy now.

Smooth like glass. Like the color as well.

Doesn't look like you lost any painting talents in the time you have been away. The color reminds me of the Chevrolet Danube Blue color, don't recall what Pontiac would have called it.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. These earlier body styles look so much better than the oversized monstrosities of today.

I have noticed a few new or newer Mazda's in my area with some really nice-looking colors. New OEM colors can be a good source for ideas with the models we all build.

Great looking color and finish. Like how the engine is done.

Beautiful paint and trim detailing. Looking at the pictures you don't really realize how basic these kits were compared to today's kits.

Great shade of blue goes well with the stripes. Like the engine painting details.

Beautiful looking color, what did you use? Like the stance and the cleanly done body trim.

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the chassis detail painting and interior.

Wild looking little truck. Like the scratch-built chassis and interior roll bars.

Beautiful looking paint work and the contrasting interior trim looks great.

Beautiful paint color and finish. Great looking engine detailing and interior. Enjoyed watch your build, I haven't done a build of this nature in many years, but this has me thinking I've been missing out.

As others have mentioned the Florida colors, another thought would be the sequence in which you apply the paint. I suggest starting with the lighter color, in this case the roof and rear deck areas. The reason is that the black main body color will better cover the tan or shade of white used. The lighter colored portions of the body will also require far less masking than the black portions. Just a thought for when you get to that point in your build.

This shows how the roof line flows on to the rear quarter panels. Much smoother looking without the vinyl roof breaking up the lines.

Great looking body conversion and paint work.

Beautiful looking smooth finish. Like the flat black bumpers and window trim.

Great looking kart and the trailer looks much better than expected in this kit.
