I really like this one it looks like the ones that were parked in the lot when I was in High School. But unless after almost 50 years my memory is starting to fade, isn't the foot pedal supposed to for the right foot?

Love how 'deep' the paint is on this! What paint/color(s) did you use to accomplish this stunning finish?

Thanks Mike G.! That's House of Kolor Candy Red Base with my own custom-mixed Candy Red on top, followed by 2-part clear. The real magic is in the Candy Red intermediate coat......that's what gives the paint job a deep look.

I started building model cars again only about six years ago. As an adult possessed of much more patience than I had as a teenager, and with all the advances in tools and supplies available to the scale automobile modeler, I took to the hobby enthusiastically. The AMT kit was one of the first that I built and on which I experimented with a lot of stuff I'd never tried before. It is a really great kit and I'll have to get another someday, though it isn't really my thing. On this build I shaved the trim (because I messed something up trying to foil it), opened up the door handles, made my own seat belts, mixed the body color and used an airbrush for the first time, split the front seat (at the suggestion of a fellow modeler, and it really made a difference), and probably some other stuff. It was a real skill builder for me. I'm still happy with how it came out, though I'm sure I could do a better job on it now.

And Cool Hand, I'm nominating yours for the Best in Thread award. That thing is so sharp you could carve granite with it.
