Well done. Thank you Rusty. Appreciate your comments On 7/7/2022 at 9:06 PM, ea0863 said: Love 'em both, but I'm rooting for grandpa to win the race! Thanks. Well, there was no race meant to be held. I don't think these two dudes hang out with the same crowds. LOL On 7/7/2022 at 10:19 PM, Kah puts said: Those are bitchin hot rods. Thank you Glen On 7/8/2022 at 2:40 PM, Koellefornia Kid said: Both look great! Makes me want to buy some of these kits... Thank you Oliver. You definitely should. They are great kits and are also a cornucopia of rodders parts. I seriously believe this is the best kit Revell have produced in decades.

Both colors were somewhat accidental, but I am really happy with the results. Still not a fan of working with the Hot Lacquers from Hobby Lobby, but maybe I just need more practice with them.

Yes they are lowered. The green one not that much, but the red one is lowered as much as possible without completely modifying things. Basically it is the standard fair of grinding material from the front spring and shortening the shocks. This is the WIP I had going on here: On 7/9/2022 at 4:01 PM, carrucha said: Cool pair of hotrods. Nice choice of colors. Thank you Hector. On 7/9/2022 at 11:18 PM, Six said: Awesome builds!!!!

pack rat Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 They're both beautiful. The young punk version is cool, but to me the green (aqua?) one is perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Lacy Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 This goes to show that I don’t give this kit enough credit. It clearly builds into a great looking model and you’ve proved it x2. They’re both very well done and this is an excellent study in how the same pile of parts can be put together into two vastly different looking cars. My preferences lean me towards the red Coupe with less chrome, cast finishes on the engine accessories and black walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
