TooOld Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) With the reissue due out in a few months I decided it was time to restore one I've had rattling around in a box for years . It's completely box stock except for some plug wires and home made decals . Now I have a stock build to display next to the heavily modified reissue I have planned . This is what I started with . The body was cleaned , polished , and cleared . I detailed the engine . And printed some duplicates of the original decals .

Dragline Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Very nice save.I gave all my Deals Wheels builds to my dad. When he passed I brought them upstairs along with MANY other builds. I asked my brother Rick if he wanted any builts and he went right to all the Deals stuff. He took the lot last night. I was sad but happy to see them go.
