63 Imapla work in progress

Here is my 63 Impala Im building. There are a few firsts for me on this kit. First time using bmf and fisrt time using clearcoat as well. the colour is a chameleon colour that goes from purple to blue to green its a hard colour to photograph.Interior is a flat tan and the dash is painted body colour. any tips would be appreciated. Heres a few pics of it mocked up. The body still needs to be rubbed out and polished yet for a nice smooth shine. Lets hear alll comments good and bad

the stance


3/4 rear shot
