W-Machine Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I picked this kit up in unbuilt condition at a flea market for $3. Since the kit was somewhat lacking in detail by today's standards, I kept it pretty much box-stock to avoid making the build into a big Hollywood production. My only real gripe with the kit was the quality of the decals, which for reasons that I can't explain, silvered a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Even if the decals silvered, it looks excellent! I have wanted to build this kit also, since Hurst Hairy Olds is a part of DragRacing History. Nice paint job, and clean assembly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Looks good. I did one a few years ago. always bother me it has complete engines in it, yet the hood is molded shut . I don't remember having any decal issues back when I did mine. Are they kit decals ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that she thought I was stalking her. Something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 not the best kit around, but you've done a great job on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragcarz Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 This ones been on my to-do list for years, yours looks great. My guess on the silvering is the metallic in the gold, a clear coat,then the decals may have kept this from happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess on the silvering is the metallic in the gold, a clear coat,then the decals may have kept this from happening. The decals silvered a little bit anyway. I've never had that happen before, so I'm still a little bit mystified. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with the finished product, and grateful to my colleagues for giving it some eyeball time and commenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
