Ron Hamilton Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 I built it to depict a 427/390/Turbo 400, loaded hardtop. The Paint is Model Car World Marina Blue Lacquer, with a hand painted black vinyl roof and interior, and Model Car Garage Photoetch Scripts. If you looked at the earlier posts of the build, I converted the new Revell kit, using several photos found in various places. The interior was also converted to a Strato Bench Seat, with the Sport Steering Wheel, Column Shift, and Caprice seat trim and door panels. Thank you for the encouragement to get this thing finished. I am quite happy with it.
