And the paint work is to die for!

Flawless work Dennis!

One detail I really admire is the transition between the custom rolled pan and the lip of the front wheel openings.
I've botched a couple of AMT Bel Airs trying to get it just "right" - You've nailed it!

Looking gooood! It's got a nice 1965 era custom look.

Wow, really surprised to see this thread brought back to the top. Thank you to everyone! I really don’t know much about customs so I just did what looked good to me.

Back in early November 2022 I attended the Spirit Of Speed 7 model show / contest / swap at the NHRA Museum here in Southern California and was beyond surprised to receive a First Place in the Customs category.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
