66' Riviera - Progress

Heres my newest project. Amt's 66' buick Riviera
I plan on building it factory stock, color I chose is red, with a black and white interior, (which was factory colors exclusive to 1966),
heres a few progress pics, got the body painted up, I didnt go crazy on polishing because from the facory there was always some orange peel.
I need to add BMF still, but I have to make a trip to the hobby shop to get some
also I got some engine detailing started. (trying to make it look used) BTW thats a 425ci engine, known as the "nailhead"
and on the frame I attached everything that is going to be black, I just need to go buy some spray paint to start on that, I havent started on the interior yet.
