This was an old kit that I received as a gift. This car fought me from the very beginning when putting together the chassis. It was also missing a couple of pieces, the most obvious one being one of the rear taillights. I had lost my inspiration to complete this one before I was even half way done, but I stuck it out to get it finished. I added brown flocking to the floor for carpeting and made the couple of missing pieces to get this finished. It required alot of filler and sanding as the fit was really rather terrible. I painted it in white, then applied the decals, then finished it with Testors clear pearl. I'm glad to have this one done with. As always, comments good and bad are appreciated.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone

Phil, yours looks pretty darn nice - I did notice the car had whitewalls, but I was so tired of this kit at the end, I didn't do the whitewalls at all - heck, I didn't even scuff up the tires. My reasoning went something like this: "It's a show car so there's almost no wear on the tires. Yeah, that works. Just get the heck done with it."

That is one answer I bet a better one is you did not know how to paint them so you left them as blackwalls!
