Testor's Ferrari 250GT California

This kit seems to have been built by everyone and their sister-in-law.  I was looking through some stuff, and found that I had started this one years ago.  The body was painted and a few details were added.  The engine was done, too.  Sooooo, I decided to start to finish it...

This is a real flashback build for me, as one of the very first "real" kits I ever built was one of these, back when the kit could be bought new at the store. 

One thing I had made a note about years ago was that the inner door panels were from the GTO/SWB version of the 250 kits.  I had a whole Replica's & Miniatures interior upgrade kit ready to go, but decided I would keep it for a future build.  Instead, I cut the kit panels apart, made a new middle panel out of styrene I had sitting around, then glued the pockets on.  Not perfect in any way, but better than what there was.
