  1. Thanks everyone! If you have not built something that isn't shiny, try it. If you stuck in a modeling slump it's nice to work on someting you don't have to worry about messing up or scratching. A lot of times I have more fun on builds like this, you can try new techniques and if you mess up you learn...or just add more rust to cover it up!

  2. Raised bed floor, shaved tailights and handles,third brake light....Z28 wheels and tires

  3. Thanks Jeremy and Tyrone!, the M/T logos are actually free hand. The tires are goodyear nascars with the logos facing in. I sanded the outside then used a Jelly Roll white pen( you can get them at Michaels) to make the logos( it will dry on the vinyl)

  4. I have had this model for a while, built it once as a kid, then twice as a tubbed drag car, now age and glue decided it's fate as weathering practice

    I think the paint is Testor's Artic blue, grey primer, and the red is cheapo parts store brand

    I used aluminum duct foil on the door to make it look like bare metal, as if some one was starting to remove the paint

    Decided not to put a motor in this one. I added a leftover radiator and paint detailing, also adjusted the stanced to sit higher in the front

    Inside is various parts off the car, you can see where some one cut a hole in the floor for a 4-speed transmission swap

    One of my favorite parts of this car, I actually cut the quarter panel off and glued it back on to make it look like someone spotted welded a replacement on

    Underside is rough, exhaust is hanging, dirt grime and rust, muffler missing

    Looks like the owner isn't ready to let this one go!
