Coming up with your color early in the build will affect the way you view the entire thing. It gives you something to look forward to and helps decide a lot of the details that will make your model work as a whole. I can definitely see this one in the gold- it'll be fierce!

That's a neat use of the Ford body panels for the fade aways. I'm a little disapointed in the roof change. I was really liking the look you had, but different strokes for different folks. This will be a great model.
