In '62 I was in sixth grade. Our school had a model contest that was judged by the principal. I got second place in cars with an AMT Double T chopped coupe. I brush-painted it with Pactra Metallic Blue enamel and added some extra hubcaps I had left over from an AMT '49 Ford coupe. The kid who won the contest built a new Monogram '58 T-Bird with a bubble top, and he used Pactra 'Namel Spray to get a really cool candy purple color.

A couple of years ago I built a clone of my old coupe. It's the only clone I've done. This time I used some Duplicolor lacquer.
