pack rat Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I picked up this restoration candidate pretty cheap a few years ago. The original chrome pieces were missing, but inside the box was a complete chrome tree from a USA Oldies Suburban wagon. The windshield was also MIA. I substituted a windshield from a junk-box '60 DeSoto and had to modify the Suburban rear bumper to the correct non-wagon configuration. I figured the rear bumper mods would be the toughest part of this resto...no such luck. The body had been coated/waxed with something (why??) that was tough to wash off before I could prime it properly. The rear window glass that was included isn't the original kit piece, and doesn't fit 100%, but its better than the one I tried to fabricate with clear sheet plastic. Paint is Testors Mythical Maroon, the closest thing to Plum Red Poly that I had on hand. Yes, the flake is heavy, but I can live with it.

StevenGuthmiller Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Fantastic build of one of the ugliest cars that Plymouth ever made! I say that affectionately, because I love the '60 and '61 Furys!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
