ewetwo Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Finished this today. I bought it at a garage sale. The doors were glued in place. I did try to cut them out but then noticed the hinges were cut off and gone. The chassis was built the front suspension has some damage. I was going to go yellow and black two tone but after screrwing up 5 times and having to strip it that many times. I decided on this color. I did try blackening the openings around the doors and trunk with water downed poster paint but then it left a grayish tine. Anyhow. It's done.

'70 Grande Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Looks good even after all those rebuilding and paint struggles! I've always loved this kit; had one in-the-works for over a decade now... I need to pull that one out and finish her up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewetwo Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thanks guys. I really wanted to put the crown vic parts on it but couldn't figure out how. I kept trying to test fit the side pieces but keep dropping them because of my Renaud's. Maybe easier if the doors weren't glued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like it just the way you built it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
