I bought this off E-bay last week, and spent a day cleaning it up, repainting engine bay and chassis, and adding some details.  What's crazy is that the guy who initially built this almost 30 years ago lives locally, and said that it had changed hands a couple times since he finished it.  I have an empty AMT box coming for this kit.

The builder used the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels from the '65 Riv.  I'll use those for something else - I thought these chrome reverse wheels were very period-correct, remembering the J.C. Whitney catalogs.

My compliments to the builder of this. The paint still looks fresh and I like the seat inserts. Still looks like a resent build.

He said it was Testor's Guards Red right from the spray can, no primer or clear.  He did a good job foiling too.  Early 90s build.  Seat insert decals were from the latest hardtop re-release.
