In the bunch of 60s parts I picked up were a coupe and sedan bodies that were made into hard tops and came close to being thrown out. Both were not in great shape and far from perfect but I was able to save them.

Looks great and it seems like every ,60s build has all the extras glued on.

I think I am going to use these hubcaps.

It has color

Paint is coming off.

Let me see if I can find some,I do not have any but I know somebody that might.

My 65 came with mag wheels and want a stock look so are there anything readily available on another kit.

The chassis is done.

Those would work and I do have a unbuilt early 49 kit but those caps are missing.

Getting closer

Starting on it and going to make it more real like,it had a hemi which never came in this car but is going to get a 440 instead and need to find stock looking rims and hubcaps.

Metallic orange paint with white interior and running boards.

I only have two but would like four so anyone know what kit they came from.

Found the needed parts,might not put skirts on this one and four spinner hubcaps.

I built my first it was a 1/32 68? Galaxie convertible,I do remember having to glue the sides of the body on so I presume it was a Palmer and was around 1970.

Almost threw it out along with the hard top coupe but after I decided to do something with the coupe I am also going to build the sedan,it's going to need a bunch of parts to complete so it will be some time to get back to it. This one will also be a mild custom with skirts and it will get running boards so another set of fenders is needed.

It has color.

I picked it up without a chassis and interior a couple years ago,I was going to replace the missing parts with 59 parts but found a 60 for parts. I got the 60 chassis and interior ready to go in but noticed the wheelbase was not correct so the 59 chassis went on,seen one on eBay and the wheelbase was off so it came that way. The paint is the way it came but added a little detail.

I borrowed a can of GM blue from a guy at work to paint the engine,I did find a bottle at HL that might be close.

I wish I would have looked at the 40 4 door that was at work before it was gone,will use 40 Ford rims again like I used on the yellow one I just finished. I am more concerned about the frame and drivetrain as I know I will never be able to get it 100 percent correct and just use what I can get that looks close for everything else.

I used the chassis that came with it.

I really like how my quick stockish looking Willys turned out and would like to take it further and go as stock as I can,what kits will I need to get for a drivetrain,close to stock rear wheel openings and chassis. The one I used I think is a Revell street rod and is the only one I seen with a normal hood but I probably have never seen all kits that have been produced.
