70mach1 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 And they said it couldn't be done... Considering it was an old kit, it wasn't too bad. It just needed a lot of TLC. The entire body was re-scribed, as well as the interior. The finishes are DuPont Laquer, BASF Laquers, cleared with DuPont Urethane. Parts box, tires, and white wall inserts, loads of foil.

Junkman Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Some people's modelling abilities are just so much superior to mine... Terrific build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FactoryStock54 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Very impressive work! Those old Pyro sectional bodies can only be described as "crude" by today's standards, but you've done something great with this one! Especially nice paint job!

randyc Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 WOW! Â I tried this one and actually gave up completely. Â Not even as a "someday" project. Â I don't often give up but I did on this one. Â Yours is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Ayala Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 You did a Fantastic job Andy!!!I started one of these long ago and I know that fitting and aligning the parts on this Old kit is not a walk in the park. The body is a two piece assembly, plastic is thick heavy & brittle and you can't tweak a part without the risk of breaking it.The paint looks great, nice color choices and the interiors looks beautiful. I really like the grill, you did a fantastic job on it considering it is molded to the body.Thanks for sharing!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnt671 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Nice job. I found one of these for cheap at Ollies last year. I hope I can do half as good on my kit. This spring this was parked in the parking lot at my house. It's owned by a judge in town, and I want to build mine like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatMan Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I was just pondering buying one of these today! That is truly a fantastic job. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
