Looks great so far Bob. I think red stripes on the roof would look good too.

I found pics of an old build of a Johan 57 Olds semi custom. I gave the chromed headlights a coat of unshaken Tamiya Clear Smoke. Gives you another option. Paul Hosted on Fotki

Paul [url href="https://public.fotki.com/pd on Fotki [/url][/quote] that's a good idea, I have some of that if its not dried up. I found my rattle cans in storage and holy shit I was kinda bummed! unopened cans of Testor's , the newer metallic paints... farging dried up, the clear came out of them somehow and created blobs at the bottom of the boxes.

[/quote] good to know, but these testers cans are rattle cans, never even opened. I hope it's just those, maybe I can get them colors again.

Like what you've done Bob. I wasn't around when you were working on it, but what you did was really great. Hopefully it will pick up again and get to the finish line. I wouldn't put red stripes on the roof. Body looks perfect as it is. My 2 cents.
