realgone58 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 This is a factory Augusta Green metallic promo by MPC that I've had since the early '80s. Back then, I had detailed it with the famous Testors silver paint.........not to great. So last week, I dug it out, cleaned off all the silver, and foiled it. I also painted and detailed the interior, buffed it out, and changed the wheels and tires to the Royal Monaco/New Yorker deluxe wheel covers found in the late '70's Dodge van kits. They fit nicely onto a set of old US Royal Master whitewalls. Fills the wheel wells up a bit better than the factory tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porscheman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Very nicely done Alan. It's always hard for me to glue mirrors on promo's. BMF and wash are reversible, IMO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
