Pat Minarick Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Well I haven't touched this since January ! I just wasn't happy with the paint at all so it's going for a soak.Every thing is done but the paint and I hope most of the body work will be ok after stripping it.After seeing flint1962 's Monkeeymobile Under Glass I have to finish it up . Sorry for some of the missing photo's ,I moved them on Photobucket .I replace them as best I could Edited May 15, 2013 by Road Runner 79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kucaba Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Another hidden gem I missed! What happened to that glossy paint work? I never considered the MM as a base for a cool custom. Looks great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Another hidden gem I missed! What happened to that glossy paint work? I never considered the MM as a base for a cool custom. Looks great!! Thanks Mike! The paint was way to thick and the body cracked on the roof when I went to polish it.I was in a hurry to get it done for a show that I didn't even go to.I will take my time this time and I reinforced the roof .

The body cracked trying to polish it ,so it's back to bare plastic now. I like that color but I think it's to dark and planning on going back to bright red .
