restoman Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Progress pics are in the Workbench section... I'm pretty happy how this turned out. Added some front turn signals from the parts bin and fashioned up some quasi-discs in the front and red drums in the rear. The kit rims and tires seemed tiny to me, so these came from a '64 impala. They fit the wheel wells better, I think. Comments most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Your headlight bucket mod came out great! This might be the best-looking front end I've ever seen on one of these kits. Well done and model on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Great job, Mike!! -love the color, and the tires do fill it well! When I tried to simulate open "gills" on the center portion of my front grill, I used a super fine Pigma pen. they work great for thin vents that you cant, or don't want to open. If you do try them some time and find that the ink leaves a unrealistic gloss, after its dry, you can use carefully applied flat or semi gloss acrylic clear coats. Very nice looking build!

restoman Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Dann, I used a fine tipped Sharpie, but those lines seemed awfully thin! That's my story, anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
