I know you didn't get to see it. The antenna isn't missing. I made it a power antenna in the retracted position. I even made the power antenna motor for the trunk and wired it. And painted the fender lights white. I don't know why FM made them body color. The top was painted the factory contrasting color of Charcoal Gray Poly to accent the interior. I couldn't have done this without the help of Hollis. He supplied the top for me. Again Hollis, a big thank you.😊

Thanks as always guys. I know I posted it before. George had commented he really liked it by the one photo I posted with the white convertible. He had been away since I made it. The roof is from the FM '55 Chevy Fire Chief car hence the spotlight. But I think it's a nice added detail. I patched the hole where the light was mounted on the roof and smoothed it out before painting.😊
