I always loved that old AMT kit. It always had the right look.

Nice color choices to boot.

Got the same kit for Christmas last year. That’s a fantastic finish. Any issues I should be aware of?

Primary problem is getting the tail lights to fit. You will have to enlarge the holes a bit. Also make sure they are close to flush with the openings to be accurate. Everything else is pretty good. I highly recommend Speedway Decals detail set for this. Everything you see that is a decal is on the set. Body badges for FI and non FI cars, engine decals for all engines, interior decals including gauges. Well worth getting, only $10. I recommend different tires if you're building stock. The stock ones kinda suck.

Very nice build Lee. When I worked at the Corvette Center in my early 20's I was the 63-67 guy. Because of that I have an affinity for this body style.
