Now that looks awsome!!!!!! Great job on the weathering!!!!!
But me thinks ya neglected the radio antenae, it looks a tad too thick and has no rust on it. Also the red and blue emblem on the left rear fender panel looks to be too clean, but it still looks awsome!!!:thumbsup:

The antenna is an easy fix. Snip it off at the top of the base and drill the base for a short piece of piano wire. It's the scale thickness and it doesn't have a too-shiny finish. I use piano wire for all my antennae. I just polish it up soime for non-beater models.
As for the badges, hit 'em with a wash of thinned flat white paint and they should come up looking like faded plastic emblems.
One more thing that I would do is sand down the tire treads. Those tires make it look like someone has started in on fixing it up by replacing the old-worn-out tires the car had been sitting on for all those years. Of course, that's a possibility too, but then the wheels would probably look better as well...
