Built from old Monogram kit. 
Built to resemble this car. 
Interior painted black with wood trim.  
Engine color isn't correct, but I wasn't going to buy a jar of paint for two or three Mopars left in the stash.  
Chassis. Foiled the exhaust tips. 
First time foiling complete trim on a car. Took about 3 hours to do. Body polished up nicely. Kit was missing one headlight lens and glass was scratched up. Tried to polish out, but you can still see them in the pictures.         
Mirrors are the same color as car even though they appear much brighter in pictures. Some white residue came off with the decals. I was able to get most of it removed. Thanks for looking and comments are always welcomed. |

Excellent replica! I think you hit or on the head.
For that white residue from the decals, what I've done to reduce that is hold the decal with tweezers and move it around in the water after it's been sitting in there for a bit. It releases a lot of that stuff and clean up is less.
Still looks great though. Can't see any white.
