So, if I am recalling correctly, I don’t think I’ve actually built a model of a car since 1991. So this should be interesting. Wanted to try something different so I decided on Revell’s 1969 Ford Mustang. So far I have some of the engine done and I am testing out a custom color that isn’t normal for the Boss 302. Still deciding if I am going to do the wood decals for the interior or a dark aluminum color instead. here are the pic’s of the engine and what the color may look like.
Leaning more towards the darker version of the burgundy. I have another post open with help on how to spray the paint from the can, so don’t mind the runs and bubbles for now.

I built this kit years ago, one of the few car kits that I’ve built that turned out pretty good I guess. 
Actually I think I had problems getting the hood down. But anyway, good luck with your build.
I’m looking forward to seeing your progress on this. That color will look killer.
I really enjoyed this kit. I ended up with two of them (got one as a present). Built one as the Boss 302 and since the kit came with most of the parts for a big block Mach 1, I built the second one as a Mach 1. Just needed to order the Mach 1 decals separately. Both turned out pretty well. Your color choice is very cool. It will turn out great. Good luck with your build!

That color is going to look so nice when laid down. Looks like you got some bubbles on the spoon. The paint from those cans comes out in high psi 40psi and up. Might have to try quicker passes from a bit further away, and build up the level of color and depth you need. Give it a good amount of time between coats to off gas also. Good luck! Its a great color out of the can.
Following along. I’ve got the Monogram 70 Boss 302 in the stash.
