I think your best option is find an original MPC annual. Not terribly difficult to find and if patient,,,, they can be found reasonable priced -

In all honesty, I would just like to get back to the model bench for something. Ive not touched anything in a few years now. And to be honest 2021 is not looking good for it either. I plan to retire approx fall 2022 Im thinking by then house will be the way we want it and my car is in the in the condition I truly want it to be by then Ive actually starting to thin the pile down even more than I did a couple years ago . Im planing to get down to maybe a couple dozen buildups I want to restore ( mostly original 1958 thru 1960 annuals ) and then some vintage drag cars I want to replicate . The rest is going away

Some mad skills dude. far more then I would have attempted

If I can make a suggestion. Add stryene strips to the edges of the roof along the roof drain gutters. If you are doing a vinyl top the original trim on the kits is / gets far to shallow compared to the added trim at the base of the C pillar area
