For someone who is "not into street rods", this a very nice one! Well done, Helmut!

Danke, Oliver !

Don't repaint that top! I looks like the right color for a canvas fabric.

Hard to believe that is a brush painted body, paint looks perfectly smooth.

Looks great as is.

Thanks, Patrick - those Humbrol color back in the day were well-suited for brush painting: I brushed them directly onto the colored plastic and you could hardly see any streaks. But as I have learned from some other modelers here they seem to have modified their formula so the paints are no more what they used to be (I still have a few tinlets from the '80s and 90s that are not dried out yet).
