Tumbler75 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 This car started life as a Yard Sale find for $.50 cents. The paint was Cheap Spray Bomb Paint and it etched the plastic and glass. So I bought it and put it away for a later project. Well I was rummaging at a Flea Market and ran across a guy selling model parts minus bodies (used them for slot cars) so I bought the entire lot. Once was a Monte Carlo, had everything except the Body. Well I dug it out, found a resin hood I had ordered some time ago, and got out the parts box and set to work. The paint is Copper Orange MetalSpeck by DupliColor with 4 coats of clear. Interior is done in Semi, Flat, and Satin Black and is flocked. Engine is 65% scratchbuilt from parts box and sheet styrene. Exhaust is also scratchbuilt from the headers to their exit tips. Enjoy!

Tumbler75 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanx for the comments guys. Yeah now that Revell/Monogram has brought out the "Notchback" Monte the AeroCoupe is quickly becomin' like the 1:1. Rare and hard to find. I had a lot of fun rebuilding this car and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I have plently of other "Yard Sale" or "Flea Market" find builds planned in the future, so keep a look out for them. Thanx again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepoweraddict Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 This is one of my dream cars right here and you did it up nicely. I love that hood and the exhaust out the side is a nice touch. Almost like I would want it. Nice work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
