Nice Job. I think it came out really good. Thanks for sharing.

List of alterations I made for accuracy (by no means completely 100%) - others are from internet builds)

Swap the 396 cu in engine for a small block 327 cu in ( I didn’t do this)
Replace the rear seat with another front bench seat to match stitching design (mine from eBay)
For above, remove rear window decking and attach to second new bench seat - (I flocked mine grey)
Replace manual tranny with GM Turbo 400 automatic (I didn’t to this…)
Shave down share shaped next to accelerator on the drivetrain hump…..
I added beige flocking for carpet
Cut the trunk lid ‘open’
Remove (cut) the rear glass securing plate back to even with the trunk opening (you see this extends too much into the trunk)
Build a small weapons container for the boot
Add inner lip to the trunk (I didn’t do this, I regret it but I’m not that good a scratch build work…)
I used 1/24 scale sword, daggers guns etc …
Add bracing to the inner truck lid before adding the pentagram decal…
I used rubber glue to stick the tyre beads to the wheel rims (biggest pain is the hollow tyres on this kit)
Advise using one of the newfangled chrome paint pens for the trim work…And Tamiya TS-14 gloss black rattle can paint
Finally, fill in the trunk floor hole over the fuel tank mould …
