Ron Hamilton Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 This one was not a complete glue-bomb, but she was pretty dirty, and had some strange goo all over it, along with the customary broken windshield frame. I got it apart and it cleaned up nicely. It was missing the wheels and tires (I have a set from the '63 Lincoln Kit, which are the correct wheelcovers, and some Satco Firestone Deluxe Champion Half Whites), and I got a boot and headlamp panel from the Modelhaus. I'm currently doing the body prep for paint, as I have not decided on the color combo, but I plan to do this one replica stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowjobs Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Cool! I nearly gave away a '59 HT I scored this afternoon. It was missing a wheelcover, a custom skirt and the wheel backs, but not a car I dig. A buddy of mine does like 'em, so he bought it for $5.00. Heck, it only cost me $2.00. I'll be interested to see how yours comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Cool! Looks like a fun project. I'd like to find a '61 HT like that to restore, or a resin. The CV's seem much more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 While I like that Idea, I may go the replica stock route on this one, as I have seen these built only as street machines with big tires, and a slammed stance. Gotta be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
