Gotta agree with the others: fantastic paint and great wheel & tire choice.  I happened to build this kit forty-some years ago and, based on some vague memories, it appears you've made a significant upgrade by swapping out  engines.  Seems like the original was...meh.

Gary, this is absolutely gorgeous. I love the detail painting on the blower and the chrome factory valve covers, which give it a period late 60s early 70s vibe. And then there's that paint. Having seen your paint jobs in person, photos don't do them justice. What do you clear coat them with?

Thanks Dave , paint is a automotive base coat , and the clear would be a 2K automotive clear coat , just about any 2K clear would work , any paint store or auto parts store the sells Automotive paints would have it , thanks again Dave !
