Can-Con Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Going through old pics and came across this one. I don't think I had shown it here, at least not for a very ling time. A rebuild of a built kit I picked up at an NNL East show years ago. Pretty simple old original curbside kit but it was fun to rebuild. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom, No, I didn't see it. I usually don't watch the car related "reality" shows. I tend to yell at the screen too much during the foolishness and it makes it too hard to hear what's going on. That said, I have seen that show and it's not bad,, nothing to holler at anyway but I don't have that channel at the moment. Lee, After I painted and cleared the body I sprayed some flat black into the louvers at a low angle from the back. After it dries, I just wetsanded the black off the sheetmetal and polished the paint out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
