randyc Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 This one is finished, but has never been under glass, which only added to its charm. I built this about 20 years ago and it's been out of a case ever since. When I found it in stuff my ex packed, it was covered in a huge layer of dust. It was quite furry. So I blew the dust off and cleaned a little spot on the windshield. Sold it on ebay last week and it is on it's way. I should have cleared it to seal in teh authentic finish. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Looks like it's been sitting in the corner of a body shop for years. I'd have sprayed it with flat clear and put it on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyc Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks all. This and a Bob Senneker Camaro under a tarp are the only things I've really ever weathered. And I sold the Bob Senneker car missing front end and under tarp as well. I hope the new owners enjoy their neglect as much as I did. And finding them again with the real dust. As for the garage, I dusted it too. It was pretty furry. But I didn't clean anything - just blew the worst off so that it would appear like the real shop I used for inspiration was. Hopefully I will add more to the background clutter soon. As I find tools and parts that would fit the theme. It's not in these photos, but I have a hood from a 66 Nova kit. I had entered the car in a local model show. After the show I pu tthe cars in the trunk of may car. When I got home, I had lost the hood. I few years later, I found it it the spare tire well of the car, completely covered in rust stains. So it is part of the dio now as well.
