realgone58 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 This was our club build this year, (Florida Auto and Scale Trucks), so we each built one any way we wanted. I pretty much box stocked it, except I used the dual blown Chrysler Hemi out of the recently re-issued '53 Studebaker kit. The white walls are from Vinyl Nation, and the distributor is from Fatkidd Hobby Products. The body is turquoise over red oxide primer, and was "worn out" using the salt method. I de-chromed and weathered the bug catchers and blowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
