Great color choice! Paint looks really good. The MPC B/RB engines seem to be a bit on the large side. (Too tall it seems) The MPC Hemis seem a bit wide as well... That Revell RB engine is definitely a good choice for this. Thinking about doing a 6 Pack 440 in mine. I have a fireball 6 pack set up screaming to get used. Keep up the fine work here!!!

Sounds like a great project with the 440 six pack!

Yellow and black are such a nice combo. Works well with your black and wood interior. :^)

Thanks for the comments guys! Although it’s a “retro” kit it’s still pretty nice. I did swap out the chassis and engine (that’s just what I do….) but it would have built up nice straight outta the box. The body looks great and since it’s a new tool Round 2 saw fit to add positive locating pins throughout. Yea! Also the clear headlight lens are a welcome addition! I can’t wait for the hardtop version to come out!

Nicely done!!! Gotta ask, How was the interior tub fitment with the swapped in chassis?? Color choice is perfect. I do wish they offered an Up top option for this one. I too am Chomping at the bit for the hard top version!!!

I too am Chomping at the bit for the hard top version!!! Very minor trimming around the transmission tunnel. Here’s another chassis that I have shaded where I trimmed the one I used. Also the Coronet body is a tad narrower just behind the rear wheel openings requiring me to cut a little off there as well. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/NMz30xT7/IMG-4487.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/RC3FLsPm/IMG-4488.jpg)

This turned out to be a GREAT looking finish! As others have mentioned, that color looks outstanding on this car as does the detail work that you put into it. I haven't built a convertible car just yet as it really takes a well built and painted interior to go with that open top and you did just that with this car. Beautiful work Alan.

Thanks Joe. The separate door panels really help with detail painting them!

Thanks Joe. The separate door panels really help with detail painting them! Separate door panels in a kit is ALWAYS a welcome sight alright. Looking forward to seeing what your next project is Alan.
