The interior is flat interior tan, light yellow, and all of the chrome has BMF on it. The 3 small gauges on the dash are aftermarket, the stereo is photo-etch, photo-etch pedal covers, and light tan flocking for the carpet, and back dash. The motor is wired, cabled, has the throttle linkage hooked to the foot feed arm, the alternator is wired, the starter and coil is wired, heater hoses, and billet radiator cap. The tires are from the 64 chevy pickup, the wheels are from the stock/street version 66 Nova. The exhaust was made from the parts box. I hope you like it. Thank you.

The testors poof can transparent candy apple red was the hardest to do. Candies are very hard to get even and smooth. As a note to anyone who has not built this model, the interior has to be modified where it meets the windshield, or it will not fit into the body properly. Thank you. Virgil
