65 Lincoln Continental Station Wagon

I'm about to fit the roof to the body...

This will be a bit of a challenge as I've not done any major bodywork before.

Here's a sketch of my idea for a colour scheme:

Pearl white and metallic leaf green scallops. Green rear glass, green carpet, green/white upholstry, big amps and speakers in the trunk (Made visible by that huge glass roof) Green plug wires, white engine.

Slammed down as low as possible on Pegasus spoked rims.

I'm going to use the custom front grille and tall rear lights. I'll probably fill the  custom-option horizontal rear lights. They don't look right.

I'll need to create something to make the rear glass appear to be hinged as there is nothing in the kit for this. I'll also have to fill the original trunklid shutlines and create new ones for the tailgate. If anyone has built or seen other examples of this version, please let me know. I'd be very interested.

If you have any comments or suggestions, I welcome feedback.

Cheers
