Overall not a bad build, but not a good one either. Tried a two tone black interior, which doesn’t show up in the photos and drilled out the rims. Might be getting better at the foiling, but still can’t figure out how to do the small letters/emblems. The windscreen was a major clusterf**k which prompted me to ask how to instal clear parts in the FORUM. I will be trying many of methods suggested on future builds. Am most pleased with the undercarriage. It is simply done but I am happy with the results.   
Thanks for looking. Stay safe and enjoy!

 

P.S. Wife doesn’t have any dioramas this scale. Sorry.

Looks darn good to me.

Cool little car.  I'd like one in a larger scale.  Yours came out good.

I'm really liking those old 60s runabouts, they're classic!

If you have emblems which are too small to easily paint, you can apply the Bare-Metal Foil (or equivalent) prior to painting the body. Trim the foil close to the emblem so the line doesn't show, and burnish the foil down. After the body is painted, use a bit of fine polishing compound to remove the paint, and you should end up with really small chrome details. Hope this helps!

Conrad, great job on the build for this very interesting car. I cannot believe anyone is able to work in such small scale - my mitts barely hold 1:24 parts, and I can't even see them without a magnifier!  I've been having good success with 1mm tip Molotow liquid chrome for lettering, in case you haven't tried it yet. As for the windshield, here's a little cheat I've done now and again:

I have been known to put a little strip of striping decal or window tint at the top of the windshield to cover up glue damage - or as in this case - to cover up some unsightly grooves in the windshield meant to hold the gullwing door hinges. In any event, great job, and thank you for posting!
