Well, had a great time building this..very trying at moments mostly issues with decorating. A couple of
'slight of hand' mistakes that drive me crazy but overall it came out pretty nice. This started out as a runner body but not now...going to have to cover it up in the garage. My driver looks like a hung over Peter Sellers. I had no need for blue and white. They are very nice, I just wanted something different and these colors make me smile, dude! I used original lamp and housings on the rear. I used original decals from a less than perfect sheet I had..they laid down pretty good as they were pretty creased on the sheet. So that was sweet to put on the originals without a large cost.
