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.

Pro Street Barracuda ongoing project.

That is a fun car to customize, yours looks well on it's way.

Just Lovely!

All four are well built and detailed, nice work Lee. I've seen them on DCC's FB page.

Best wishes for you Mario, blessing!

Some gorgeous Detroit Iron right there, thanks Tim.

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.

From today….

Headed to Sharon Pa. this morning. I couldn't find much info online but the flyer says today is the day.

Now that is a nice model. And a great story. What paint did you use for yellow?

And your thoughts on this kit?

interesting subject and nice work so far....

Thank you!

Remember when we use to build model cars just for the fun of it....

Coming along nicely....

Amazing scratch building, carry on....

Looking good so far.....
