TooOld Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) I picked up this JoHan promo a few months ago , it was in nice condition but had Pegasus Sovreigns on it . The plan was to replace them with stock wheels that I had , clean it up and put it on the shelf . Well I messed up cleaning it and ruined the factory paint . So the new plan was to leave the Sovreigns on it and repaint it with 1964 Buick Surf Green . I added the rub strips to the roof and fabbed a rack for a surfboard . Some BMF , mirrors , antenna , and a few decals finished it off . It may have been on my bench for three months but I estimate I only have around 20 hours in it , that's fast for me ! So here's my "Surfin' Special " ! This is the JoHan promo after some cleaning , you can see where I wore thru the factory paint . More photos !

It was originally painted '62 Fawn Mist but I wanted a little more green so I went with the '64 Surf Green which is the same as Chevy Meadow Green . Thanks for noticing the backing plates .
