Started with the new AMT Orange Fanta "fantasy van" (aka AMT Phantom van in a different box with a decal sheet that went straight in the trash). Used interior bits from what I recall to have been a junk Greenlight Shasta Airflite trailer I parted out years ago & painted the whole lot bordello red with simulated rosewood interior panels. Engine is all but invisible but is a 351W/C6 I believe. 

I can see my progress in handpainted 2-tones... my acquisitions of drawing tools like straight/flexible/architect's 12in rulers, a French Curve and a protractor for straighter lines and good painters' tape has paid off. As has my drawing of gauge faces with a white china marker.

Nice period piece! Really looks the part, and that dark red interior color looks authentic for those bodies. Dash details are looking good, but where's the steering wheel?!!!
