Caspers Cosmic Charger paint

Found this one at Hobby Lobby on the discount table. 

 

Anyone have any build suggestions or tips to make it look right.

Especially paint colors or suggestions

I believe there is one here built by John T. that is beautiful. May be in Under Glass or Drag section.

Thanks, Ive read and re-read that post several times. And  I think I have it figured out. I've glued the lower rear and upper halves of the tail together and molded them together as one piece.  Once painted I'll then slide the chassis in place.  And then glue all the forward body panels in place after that.

  I'm after the look of the actual car with the scoop and the front wheel fairings.  To be honest  I just don't care for box art build version with the blower sticking up out of the body work. And mine is going to built  curbside style as well. So the engine and all the blower stuff will go in the parts box . I have to go out this  morning so i'll  pick up some blue paint for the upper rear cowl , windshield frame and wheel fairings.

But for the most part. So far so, so good
