Nice. Will this be stock or custom?

I did the custom on this Revell model but it uses stock bumpers unlike the AMT '63 Impala SS that I am working on. The hood, trunk and roof on this '62 Impala are Tamiya TS45 White Pearl and the sides are Tamiya TS92 Metallic Orange. Revell had called for Bronze Metallic to go with the red stripes on the side.

Thank you Julian. It is sometimes difficult to make choices. I knew I wasn't going to do the Stock Turquoise Metallic but I had to decide on the Custom between the white stripes or the red ones. I was trying to think how would "California Wheels" do this. So I went bold and am glad I did!
