My first vehicle GMC 353 duece and a half

[SNautRight]

Not my very first. I recall building a luxury car from the first decade of cars when I was about 8. It was catywumpus to the road.
The kit was given to me by a 23 year Army vet to build on commission. He wanted NO paint. I refused the request. He relented and it has a couple simple colors. He's happy. He gave me six other kits of which he wants me to build him 2 more plus 2 started kits, 39 jars of new Testors square jar enamels and 3 tubes of glue.
