I was aiming for a traditional look with this build so it's basically OOB with some small changes : Replicas & Minatures Caddy air cleaner & valve covers from Monogram 59 Cadillac convertible kit, tyres from the Galaxie 48 Fleetline with kit supplied steelies & Modelhaus single bar flipper hubcaps. The suspension was lowered & colour is Nissan Magnetic Black from Zero Paints (green/purple flecks which doesn't show up too well in the pics) with their pre-thinned clear.

Looking good Andy, awsome colour and the usual miles-deep-shine that we've come to expect from you.
