Wonderful! It looks especially convincing in black and white!  So....how on earth did you do the lunchbox latches on the hood??????? (Blowing up your pictures lthey look like either p/e pieces or like they were lifted from another part and grafted in place...)

Thanks Bernard. As mentioned up the thread. I was lucky - The latches came from my spare parts box but I am pretty sure they were from a Revell tube-frame era Camaro TranAm racecar kit.

I missed that in the blizzard of richly deserved compliments. They look very convincing. Someone should make resin repops of them. I would probably go back and retrofit a ton of my older builds with them. Lunchbox latches and a Deuce louvered hood to match the side panels and deck of the Revell cars are my holy grails in the aftermarket.
