camaroman Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'd like to play but a month won't be long enough to strip the paint offa mine, much less finish it!LOL I recently scored a 62 ford sunliner off ebay. It's black with red interior now. Kinda thinkin' 'bout maybe a coat of Hampstead Green with a Dark green interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTmike400 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Really cool idea. I wish I had a model to tear down and rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalMark Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Really cool idea. I wish I had a model to tear down and rebuild. That's what I was thinking. One of the first things I do to build ups is strip off the paint. It does sound fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is I've never built a model. :oops: So I dont have anything to even think about tearing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 David, which Dodge are you referring to? Our TNMCC club theme this last year was overhaulin, which I missed out on as I have a policy of my own that I don't redo things after I build them. But, I just got a free Dodge D-50 builtup that I want to do something with. It's not complete and would entail scratchbuilding and kit bashing too. I'm not gonna miss out on this one!

ChevyAsylum Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Here's my "Overhaulin" candidate: I got this cheap on eBay. Just a few loose parts. Nothing serious. I had to chuckle about the flathead fan belt assembly on the Olds (or is is Pontiac?) motor. Oops. I think that motor with a 6-71 blower and a coupla carbs otta be ok. And some newer wheels and tires, a detailed interior and a bit of HOK or Boyd's paint on it should transform it a bit. Nothing radical, just brought up to contemporary street rod configuration. I remember an article in one of the model car magazines from the early 60s where they showed how to chop the top and section the body on wonna these bodies. Ahh....if I hadn't thrown so much stuff out and if I had a better memory, etc. So...anyone wanna offer suggestions for doing things in a unique way?
