1985 Trans Am FINISHED *PICS*

I've had this kit longer than my wife and kids. Finally took the time to build it.
This was my most favorite 3rd gen and so I built it in the launch colors. Or, how I would have purchased a real one had I the money.
TS-14 Black, TS13-Clear on body
TS-46 Sand interior with Testor's tan flocking.
My how I have forgotten how bad the decals were back in the day. Lots of milky film and thick. Since the decals have been drying some of them have wrinkled a bit. I hope to get them to lay down with some Micro set.
Lots of different glues to hold this thing together because unbeknown to me the body had a slight warp as did the front and rear window. Epoxy is holding the front window and then CA glue to hold the rear taillight/bumper to the car.
Here are a couple of pics:
