There's a guy that sells resin body Imperials. The last one I stopped at $40. I stopped following it at $140!

That's what I try to do before investing in all the materials for a paint job. Think up a scheme, draw & color it, buy a model & paint that. If all goes well, invest in materials & paint away! Luckily, someone already had the same basic idea!, just different colors.

Was it just a esibody or a kit? I know some of the resins come with the body,interior and chassis,then you use the wheels engine and whatever other parts you want

That is just Sofa King Cool! Nice job. I've never made anything as complicated as a car body, however I do make headstock logos for guitars I repair, or build.

I have a Testors Lincoln Mint metal die cast Daytona that is truly loner inspiring. It's the most detailed kit I've ever seen in my life in 1/24th scale. It even has a laser cut grille! I wasn't happy weight the 440 that came with it, so I built a HEMI for it. Billet distributor, laser cut plug wire looms, dome light with the watch battery in the trunk. Haven't finalized switch location yet, however, I did manage to duplicate trunk vinyl pattern before the computer shook a tit. It's just another unfinished project I need to finish.
