Project X "Hollywood Knights" version

[WillyBilly]

I have always wanted to build this car after seeing the movie. It took a few decades to say the least. I think I started actually building it about 3 years ago. The paint is at least 2 years old. I used Testors  Yellow enamel, with two coats of Testors Xtream lacquer Wet look clear. The engine is a BBC, pieced together from a couple different kits. I kept the hood for just like Popular Hot Rodding did.

Very nice build of an iconic car. I should do one to go with my TLB 55.

Project X is a legend, respect.

Great build.

Apparently Lucky Costa is the caretaker of X now.

Sweet 57. Did you research the interior colors?

I tried. There was not much to go on as it changed from time to time. I could not figure out the color at the time of the movie filming, so I went off a number of different pics to come up with what I thought it might look like with the bench intact.

Thank you everyone. It is such an iconic car for two reasons, and I had always wanted to build it.
