Ray, As you are getting ready to foil, I don't know what you have in mind for the side trim. The factory trim on the sides between the upper and lower moldings was a gold colored aluminum sheet held in place by the moldings. Think of the '57 Bel Air Chevrolet  insert on the rear quarters. I have used Bare-Metal gold foil in the past for this. Many years ago when guys were modifying their 1:1 '57 Fords it was common to remove the gold insets as it was some  what out of style. It was common to paint that area in a color that tied to the interior on solid color cars. Some would use it as part of the tutone effect. Often the upper molding was removed all together just leaving the one larger side molding by its self. I like the paint treatment on the forward part of the roof. What did you do there ?

Thanks David. As far as the trim is concerned I will just use the decals on the sheet to fill the space between. I think they are red. ( ? ) The front section was painted with HOK marbleizer.

On this AMT version I built 25 years ago I merely painted it gold. Framed by BMF,  I thought it looked fine.

Ya, that looks good.
