Chevrolet from Galaxie. The chopped top is from Jimmy Flintstone, but I filled in the rear quarter windows. Paint is Tamiya TS-11 Maroon. No matter how much i polish or clean it, the dust spots always appears in the photos that I take.

That color is influenced heavily by the primer color, and yours looks perfect.

It was actually the Barris car that inspired me to build it. But Barris version is way cooler with a 6 inch chop and more laid down rear window.

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!
