RDean58 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 At least I have good front and rear bumpers and a hood for the other one I got recently. This one may turn into a custom because of the dead frame, dead glass, and burn mark on the body. We will see if the old paint comes off or not. Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

jefropas Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Purple power and a sanding stick will have that body looking brand new. Its a rarer car to save, good luck!! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Boy that green looks a little rough. Put it in the drink (Purple pond) for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Don't rule out cheep brake fluid for paint removal if all else fails. That stuff would do a number on paint on a real car. Did the builder just spread glue around on the chassis ? At least the Bumpers and Grill look good and the Tail Lights should be removable. You can make new glass when needed.

paul alflen Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 RDean58, I think the AMT 1969 Ford Galaxie uses that same chassis, if I remember correctly. Mark or Snake can you confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alflen Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Also nice save ! Don't make it a Kustom, unless all the Stock detail is gone on the body! I'll be watching this one, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
