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.

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.

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.

Very interesting project. I like the different builds.

Ron, that's gonna look really sweet with some candy paint and dropped low over a set of Peggys.

Am I starting to be a bad influence yet ??? :twisted: :twisted:

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.
