I’m gonna say this will be a progress thread, on account I have a PS Barracuda and the 55 custom to work on. But I’m a little excited to try this! I used the pill bottle trick for the tubs and scrap styrene for sheet metal and the frame. Then I took a bunch of measurements, cut up a Ford 9” from a Revell kit and narrowed it to fit perfectly. Wheel and tire combo from the AMT Corvette Gasser sanded and re-profiled slightly. I hope a little filler and sanding that chassis should look pretty good.

Impressive, I 've lost parts that big! Nice IG post as well... -
Thank Dennis, and yes they are. I just made up a pin to mount them on.

The number one key to a successful paint finish is prep! And primer is part of the prep, among other things. The thinner the thickness of primer/paint the more detail shows through. I find that airbrushing helps to keep paint thickness at an acceptable level, but preparation is still the key, I will prime and sand just about every part. Tamyia primer is my go to, and they have several colors including pink.

Outstanding weathering and detail, thanks for sharing. -
Very nice day, saw old friends and won a few awards. Even loaded the saddlebags and road the Roadking there. Found some tail lights for the 56 Long Roof Custom too! Thanks to Dave’s and the crew for a great show.
