Its done and Im glad. I had to make a few molds and cast some parts, make them fit, fill cracks,holes,sand and prime ,sand and prime and then sand and prime, add a few custom parts and spend a little time on the paint and it still looks like the elephant in the room ,but Palmer and Premier is part of model kit history , the joy of the cool box art and disappointment of its contents. They are the kits where even the most novice of builders can pick out the inaccuracies. No regrets , I did have some fun. I've built 2 now.

Well done Ken , some of these kits can be real lemons and you've made lemonade !  And having fun is the whole idea ! :D

Sheesh... And nowadays people say Revell kits have strange proportions.  And sure, some do, but it looks like Premiere took it to a whole 'nother level. ? It has Pixar proportions five decades before Pixar. 

Love the end result, and my hat is off to you for wringing such a nice model from a questionable kit.

I think all the chrome trees were common across all the kits and the front and rear bumpers were unique to the kit itself.

 The Toronado is nice too. (Might have left off the number).

Number and black stripe are because I went way of the box art.
