I'm currently making considerable headway on this build. A friend found the kit at a thrift store for cheap and bought it because the box art looked cool. Then he remembered that I build models and he shipped it off to me for a restoration. This is what it looked like when it arrived:

And here are a couple photos I took today. I've repainted it twice due to modeler error and am very happy with it now. The interior is done. Now to BMF and then final assembly.

Thanks for the comments, folks. This is a departure, subjectwise, for me. I usually build European sports cars and rally racers.

The color is Bright Aqua Metallic from Duplicolor, which I think is meant to be a touch-up paint for a GM factory color. I really like the color and think it suits this car. I don't know if they were ever available in the shade, but it strikes me as a suitable color. The rest of the build should come together easily enough. I made my own replacement glass and everything else is pretty much ready to go.

What's the shade of blue, I really like it.
