After a few sandings and attempts at fillings I got this far...foiled and test run on the decals. But I could still see some areas that I just couldn't bring myself to live with.
Replica of a 2 door sedan or post car as in reference photo. That actual car is a 67 if I'm not mistaken but the person asking for this was okay with the correct era so settled on the 65 as it was the most attainable in plastic. The sedan body took a little searching (before I knew about scalemates!) but did locate it from a resin caster.
