Thank you sir, with the acrylic ,it will with stand the elements, I am afraid the model paint wont hold for a long time, but these cars are not driven enough , so using the paint,it should be fine ,maybe a little touch up here and there, but again,to hard to find so we make due :cheers:

Am I the only person that thinks FK5 is one of the best colours on an E-body? Looks great!

Roy,
Very Nice!!!  I don't think I sever saw what interior color you are going with.  IMHO, a White Leather interior, FK5, and Gator top would be an attention grabber!   :cheers:

Thanks Sheldon, pictures don't show the true beauty of this color.Can't wait to take some pics in the sunlight with a good camera then maybe it's beauty will shine!!For the interior I'm going with black because I already have it but white would definitely be my fist choice also EB3-GranCoupe, maybe someday.

Cheeers;

Thanks to some awesome friends Ray G and Dave G we got the gator on!! just some last final trimmings and the front pillars need to be glued and around the windows.I'm so happy with the way it turned out!! Can't wait to see the final step!! I'll keep you guy's posted.
 I also had to customize my six way seat bracing because of my costume sub frame supports, check it out

Cheers
Rob
