Wrapped this build up on Sunday,good in some areas,but difficult in others,color is MCW Saddle Tan,keith Marks Decals and P/E that comes with the kit.I didn't bother with trying to use the P/E hinges that are included or the plastic hinges either.IMG_6371.thumb.JPG.58ad7f326eafb9e3c12958b9b4c99916.JPG

Despite doing lots and lots of sanding couldn't get the trunk to sit flush.IMG_6373.thumb.JPG.18a8f07ca401e9551576710ea0c58a58.JPGIMG_6374.thumb.JPG.0ba63090a8ef23f68f00d282bd3e6608.JPGIMG_6379.thumb.JPG.e605afaf2999c83232c2c0e8bc9df843.JPGIMG_6380.thumb.JPG.4a3519a66b9469fccbef64f77d334e64.JPGIMG_6381.thumb.JPG.137601728d64b7ddbf7f67a456032ca8.JPGIMG_6382.thumb.JPG.a28b311a1df95754bef78acbbe976655.JPG

Beautiful build! I learned to drive in a 63 Chevy II the same color with bench seat. Lot of good memories driving it. I've got a 64 Möbius kit partially build. Thanks for sharing pics!

Looks fantastic, Curtis! I've got one of these, along with a 60 Pontiac kit Trumpeter offered. I'll have to dig them out. I've heard they're not for the faint of heart, but yours looks great! Nice work.

Very nice showroom Nova there Curtis. I believe the trunk inside brace needs to be attached to the trunk skin whilst in the closed position. This also applies to the hood. Really well done on a difficult kit.

Cheers, 

David. 😎👍

Great looking showroom style build. The paint finish looks nice and smooth with a mid '60's look. 

Thanks so much!,i was aiming for nice low key look.

Very nice job.  I don't think I have ever seen one finished.  

It's a nice kit in spots,but all the interior/exterior chrome trim needed lots of sanding to fit.😠

Looks great! Maybe you could just display the car with the trunk open. 

Thanks!,i was thinking that myself.
