I tried to stay close to the reference pics and directions, but I was not trying to paint a perfect replica, but rather a fair representation. If it had been some other car I would have done different paint for the chassis, interior, etc. but most everything is SUPPOSED to be gold, gold, gold! The original paint suggested in the instructions was Aztec Gold. I tried out a few different gold colors and settled on Testor’s Champagne Gold over a white base. Fenders are listed as Frost Grape, I used Testor’s Grape Pearl. I did change the flower pot, white instead of “root beer”. I always thought that this was kind of a funky looking kit, but when it was built and sitting in front of me, it was really pretty cool.        |

Wow, that came out great ! I've seen many of these built up, but they always seem to be gluebombs . It really is a cool looking kit.

You are a lucky man to have that one! I recall seeing that car in the movie on TV back in the 70's. Beautiful build.

Beautiful work on this one! I built this at about 8 years old and literally couldn't handle the thing once it was done due to the Testors PLA gold never ever dried on anything. Not to mention all the little bit parts which would fall off.
Nice to see one this clean and intact. ;D

So it wasn't just me that thinks that the silver and gold never dried! Good to know I'm not alone.
