This is one of my first builds back, a couple of years ago.  I built the pickup version, Yellow!   The coupe rear fenders are on the box, I used the coupe body for this car.  Here it is stripped and ready for body work, and the new Lt. blue paint I blended for it. I am redoing the interior and correcting the stance, and tilt hood fit.  Blown 504  Ripper |

Did some body work, and got it in primer. Made a new floor pan, that fills in the under cab and raises the cab height, modified the fire wall, more to do on that, had to replace the styrene filler for the left box fender, and redo both fender putty  Tied the rear fenders together with this panel.  Here's a little re-stance mock-up  Ripper |

You have made some excellent mods to this. It will be cool to see it in color.

Here's a blue sample, not clear coated. It's Testors flat Lt. blue darkened with Testers Metallic blue.  I think I like it better than the Yellow.  Ripper |

Looking good. I say leave the paint as it, I like the flat color look on it.
