pack rat Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I finally finished another one of my own projects. I picked this junk-box refugee up real cheap a few years ago. The thick flat black/red/green color scheme combined with all of the junk glued onto the interior bucket didn't look too appealing, but I thought it had possibilities. Finding most of the missing stock pieces in the same junk pile sealed the deal. Unfortunately I had to re-use the messed-up fender ornaments that were installed upside-down by the original builder....I might fabricate better ones if I can't find replacements. This one didn't go as smoothly as I expected; especially when it came time to apply the BMF...sometimes the planets just have to be in perfect alignment when you attempt that chore.
LouO Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Holy Crow! I almost don't believe you! What a save!
Snake45 Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Stop whining and making excuses, you did good and it looks GREAT! You are truly a Glue Bomb Hero! Well done and model on!
Renegade Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Amazing. Doesn't even look like the same car.
TooOld Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Beautifully done ! Something about a 'vert with the top up that's very appealing to me , great job !
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 That's a car that deserved to be saved!! And what a save it is!!
geewhiz Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 WOW, absolutely stunning, you are the the man!!!
Peter Lombardo Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 great save...... I always thought that the 1962 Ford and Chevy were classic designs........ not too big, not too small and clean.... no wings, no fins and minimum chrome that is well placed..... well done.
89AKurt Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 I'm amazed you did as well! I've seen those boxes of orphaned models at shows. This is just like the real world, someone finds a junk heap, and restores it. Did your sheet of BMF have expired adhesive? That seems to be a problem. Also, are you going to vacuum-form a rear window?
