Ajay Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I started this one awhile back - it's the Galaxie kit plus a Replicas & Minatures resin body, I originally sprayed it flat black and intended to use steelies & whitewalls but to me the look somehow didn't gel so I've decided to go for a more contemporary look. I've cleared the black with Mr Hobby super gloss & the rims are Aoshima LDX's with trim rings from their Junction Scara rims. At the moment it's only thrown together which is why nothing lines up very well - it'll be kerbside as I'll have to take liberties with the suspension etc to get the wider rims to fit. I'll post more progress as I make it. Thanks for looking Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Metallic Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If you wanna go detailed Rick Hanmore wrote an excellent article on making a street rod out of these kits when they came out back in '98. It was in SAE, if you want the exact info I can find it for you. Looks killer already. BTW, when it's finished I'd love to add it to my Galaxie Ltd 46-48 Chevies album. http://public.fotki.com/crstan/galaxie_ltd_46-48/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Thanks Craig - I remember the article - it was a light blue Fleetline from memory - & I've got the mag somewhere so I'll dig it out. Here's two Galaxy kits I built awhile back - the pics are not the best as I was still getting used to taking photos - if you'd like me to get some better pics for your album let me know.

Mr. Metallic Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Those pics are fine. I'd love to include them. Do you have some detail shots to accompany them? if so, email me the pics and I'll add them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
