ewetwo Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 A friend picked this up at an estate sale. A lot of glue. Parts glued in the wrong places. I decided to just clean it up and I liked the color. Painted the interior and top tan as I thought it looked better than white.
ewetwo Posted June 2, 2019 Author Posted June 2, 2019 Thank you Al, Lee, Ray and David. The blue is the molded color. I was able to get the glue off without much trouble. And then coated it with Pledge. I just thought I should add a tail pipe. LOL!
Phirewriter Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Nice! One of my favourite of the Monogram Classic series. Is it an original issue? The blue looks nice and deep.
ewetwo Posted June 2, 2019 Author Posted June 2, 2019 Thank you. Yes it is. The instructions were not In the box but a little Monogram flyer booklet advertising their other kits had a print date of 1966.
larman Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Great job! Love the color, they are such beautiful cars!
David G. Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Excellent rescue! I first thought that the body color was paint, it looks great. David G.

That is how I had done mine as well, only clear over the model's color.
ewetwo Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Thank you guys. It was an interesting build getting the thing apart to glue it back together correctly. I just went with my building knowledge and past mechanic experiences to put things in the correct places again.
Tyler62990 Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Love it! Man, do I wish they would do a metal roof version of one of these. One of the most beautiful cars ever.
