Number Five for this year, Started back in August 2019 and painted Testors' Star Spangled blue with wet look clear. Built pretty much out of the box except the rear exhaust tips and muffler, those I took from the Revell 77 Firebird.

I still need to put the decal on the badge and paint the front lights white.

I glued the T-tops in.

I could use a license plate decal on here as well.

In real life, the blue plastic does not show through the semi gloss black paint, it just does it in photos. Not too much done with the interior since it is so basic, just semi gloss black and flat black for carpet.

Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

Looks great in that color and nice work on the decals. Just out of curiosity, did you dechrome the oil pan? Chromed oil pans are sort of common with these MPC kits. 

I actually don't remember.  I might have.
