    Muy caliente!! That wagon looks great! The firewall gives a good idea of the comparison between the darker green and the lighter green.. Can't wait!

    Looks great Cody! Love the dark green metallic, definitely a different choice but a great one! I once had a mosquito land in the clear of a bed cover :confused: that a friend was painting. I wet sanded his butt out and we buffed it but still had a leg in the clear. Just a little dark line that no one knew about but us, but aggravating all the same. Cant wait for the exterior paint!

    My older brother had a model AMT 59 El Camino back in the mid '60's. It was molded in a kinda robins egg blue plastic. He painted it with a Testors metalflake dark green just like yours and I have wanted to build a full sized one in that color ever since. Nicely done sir.

    I just found this post and couldn't stop until I read everything. There is absolutely no way that I could not see this car finished. I have never read a thread this long that someone didn't have an opinion on how to make it better. That says a lot about your skills and vision for this awesome car. Well Done!
