I worked very hard to make this model perfect, and yet its not quite perfect. But I am still quite pleased with the results. Colors are obvious inside and out. I clear coated with 2 coats. I did the convertible boot in sand beige to add a little distraction from all the red and black, and am thinking it was a good idea. Did all the bare metal foil, and added a side mirror as well. Just had to share it before it goes on the auction block lol ! RANDY

I've been tempted to try 2-toning my BRK Ford, but why? Vitesse did a fine job years ago. Enjoy!
