I use Meguiars PlastX.

Wow! Great job Trevor!

Your parts knowledge always amazes me Mark ?

Nice build and the gold looks great.

Love it! I had a 66 Fastback that I'd love to recreate if I could find something like you printed. I'm following and good luck on the build!

Absolutely love the colors!

I finished the Caprice a while back and used an X frame (yes, I'm fully aware of X frame history ?) that I had in one of my parts boxes and it fit nicely with some massaging to fit the resin body. As with most of my builds in the past year or two I'm no longer overly concerned about underhood or chassis detail correctness. They end up in my display cases likely never to be moved again. I know that's hard to stomach for lots of folks, but at my age and the number of projects I'd still like to start and finish before I no longer can, it works for me ?. I've built long enough to have been there and done that with detailing what I won't be able to see but I definitely continue to appreciate those that do great detailing and post their builds. Here's the thread on the finished project.... Thanks Rusty!

Beautiful build! Congrats!

In my experience it will cover two bodies easily.

What a great accomplishment Alan! Thanks for sharing!

I don't know... sorry.

Fitted a resin replacement windshield frame to this promo and painted with Scalefinishes Mitsubishi Rally Red, then cleared with Tamiya clear.

By looking at the chips you posted the color I have sure looks like Sierra Sand, if the chip is accurate. I went to chrysler300club dot com and they have a color chart for 300's from 55-65 that shows Sierra Sand available. Not sure if they're accurate or not either. Either way, I'll give some thought to leaving it as is, because it really is in good condition and polishing will really finish it off. But... there are three bad sink holes in the trunk that I'd hate to leave without filling and if I end up repairing and having to paint, I'd choose something other from the 65 colors from Scalefinishes. Thanks for the input Steve.

Can anyone help me figure out what 65 Chrysler color this promo is? I have to admit, I can't think of a worse color. My camera made it kind of pinkish brown, but it's acutally more of a real pale brown that just has a touch of pink in it. My guess is sable brown poly. Thanks!

Here's a couple of pics. Hopefully they're good enough ?. Thanks!

I could try that if I can't find replacements. Thanks!

I'm in need of 3 red taillight lenses to fit a 64 Lincoln. Need two for a hardtop and one for a convertible. I'm going to guess the lenses from 61-65 will work? If no one has any to trade or whatever, would anyone know if there are resin copies available anywhere? Thanks!

Great build David! Love the color choices too.

Looks like you had a great time Les. Beautiful area to tour it looks like also. Thanks for sharing!

Great weathering job!

Congrats Steve!

Part way down on this page is how I did the bench seat.

Congrats on the new house and your hobby room looks great!

Thanks to all for all the nice comments!

I started this last fall I think and it's finally done after many stumbles and redo's. I posted some of the early work in the Q&A section but then nothing til now. It's a resin kit (everything except chassis and running gear) from Diolex (from Ukraine) and I will say everything about it was great, except my inexperience with resin. I'd do many things differently if I were to build it again. Mostly the order in which I assembled it. To me it's a "10 footer", having lots of issues with foiling and repairing a big chunk of resin that came poping off when drilling holes for pinning the side mirrors, after painting and clearing of course. I always forget to drill those before painting for some reason. I had the choice of stripping, repairing the missing chunk and repainting, or repair without all that. It ended up close enough for me and will be in the display case with that door facing away ?. Otherwise, I did lots and lots of prep sanding the 3d body and probably could have done more. Again, enough for me. I used Tamiya Light Gun Metal and Gun Metal sprays and the interior is a light blue. I ended up making new taillights and their trim and if you saw my earlier posts about the fitment of the front bumper and grille you know I had to do some work there too. I forget where I got the wheel covers but I thought they looked close enough. The glass was one of the harder things I had to do. I really haven't done too much in the past with vacuformed glass and it showed. I had to cut them closely to make them fit correctly and then attach them. I then found the chassis I chose didn't fit the greatest to allow the stance to be correct so I needed to dremel parts of the body (thick stuff) to get where I liked the stance. I added some 1/64 black chart tape to the bumpers and rocker trim. I'm glad this one is finished. It's a replica of a 77 Caprice my wife and I bought new, the colors being pretty close to what we had. Thanks for looking!
