I took some advice from Raees/dadaman to warm up a box and to put the cleared body into it so it doesn't "blush" up.
The results.....well see for yourself. Stayed shiny unlike the first attempt.

Loving this!
Is it just me, or does this kinda/sorta vaguely resemble a mid '60's Imperial?

Paint looks good! I forget how spoiled we are in SoCal... lots of sunny days.
Besides that, great idea for a limo. Not my thing either, but its plastic; we get to do what we want with it and not drive it to work. I built an S10 pickup with a Ferrari engine in the bed. I never considered the difficulty of changing the spark plugs when I built that...

Hey, thanks guys.
I started polishing this guy up, but I got 2 other projects going as well...haha.
Simon,!we sure are spoiled here in Cali...lol
Chuck, lots of 60s-70s j-tins look similar to American cars. They were inspired...
I'll try to post a pic of the polishing in a bit.

Love it! I love the old style Japanese cars. They seem to have so much more attitude to me.
