Happy with some of it, not so happy with some of it..lol.

Thanks for looking. I am still learning. And I think I learned quite a bit on this build and through the people on this site!

Dayum! That's a great build but the paint is out of sight!

Really nice job! What did you use for the blue?

Its actually Krylon's Painter's Touch Navy Blue on a grey primer. Its a bit thick imo, and I must have stripped the body at least 3 times during the build to fix paint issues...lol. I went with this color since I had the same car at 17 yo. Dk. Blue. Mine was a POS and I only got to drive it 3 times before it hit the junkyard...haaha.

For future models I think I am sticking to Modeling sprays (tamiya, etc).

And for the weathering.. I used one of the Tamiya Weather Master kits (Soot, snow and dirt). First time ever trying something like that.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys!

That 3rd picture you would think that is a real car. Nice work on this classic muscle car.
