Done! And happy with it, though I need a mirror & a washer bottle. Tamiya light pearl red doubles as Camelot Rose Metalic.

Ebay find & restoration. All original parts bar the chrome, firewall & top cover. Added the usual wiring, hoses, etc.

Beautiful build! The colour is stunningly unique, very much retro and perfect for the style.

A gorgeous build from the 60's.

Just a question - shouldn't the visors be the same color as the interior or convertible top?

Hi,
Great build, colour is spot on and the paint job is flawless!
I've got the AMT's hard top version, now a must after seeing yours!
Cheers & Onto the next one!
Nuno.

Beautiful build sir ...... I grew up riding and then driving my mom's '62 Buick Le Sabre on occasion  ....... even raced the thing on weekends ( D/SA see below)

Your model captures the essence of the old Flint iron perfectly ....... Outstanding!
