Thanks, I cut a rear door template out of aluminum  as a guide to scribe the rear door lines .....

For paint on that thing, use Model Master Nassau Blue lacquer and don't clear-coat or polish it. It'll look perfect.

[Alan]

I have some lacquer paint that is pretty close , also have made the decals ...... Was talking with the cars owner and he was wanting me to dent it all up like it was, but having only the one body, I don't want to mess it up. Thanks for the tip on the paint, I will check it out .........

That conversion looks good, I have done a few 4 doors myself.  Like it different

Here's what that Nassau Blue looks like straight from the can--no polish, no rub-out, no clear-coat, no wax.

There's a whole thread in Under Glass but it would take me a while to find. But here's the in-progress build thread:

ahhhh, the golden age of Car Craft Magazine... Rick Vogelin, Norm Mayerson, Ro McGonegal.. The Car Craft Project cars were great, nothing trick but real race cars that ran hard - The Malibu 4 door, Clockwork Chevy, and the econo modified Camaro... 

Alan, thank you for posting your drag racing models and projects - all well done and very cleanly built.  I've enjoyed looking at them - .brings back a lot of memories.
