She's a beauty I love the color of the interior. Nice satin finish there.

An absolute beauty!

The paintjob is very good and the 'mint' gives it the authentic look.
Only one little nitpick: the left headlight glass is turned / slanted a little.

Well... nitpicking is so much easier than building!
Those pictures are never subtile with our mistakes; I know all about that...
BTW, that chrome looks good also. Is it standard OOB chrome or did you use those chrome sheets (what's that name again???).

Yea I hear ya the trim around the coves is B.M foil fortunately the windshied frame comes chromed in the kit. This was built from the AMT Street Machine kit which does not have "stock" parts so I did a number of Mods

Nice work Brian i really like this year vette, nice clean build. One thing you may want to change the top inside of both door panels should be body color but this is a nit pick, i still think it looks great.

A beautiful build Brian. Great choice of colors.
Have you considered giving the panel lines a black wash?
