Happy you like it David. The whip antenna came from the Revell Chevrolet/GMC mean mudder van from waaay back in the day. I used wire for a better look. The tip was dipped in white glue, allowed to dry, and repeated until I got the look I wanted. Then I hit it with the chrome pen. Thanks again.

Thanks for looking. I was looking for a wheel/tire combo that would fill the fender openings better than the ones.

I had no definite plan when I started this, it evolved along the way. The chassis and engine are OOB. I wanted to do something with the head lights, and used lights from the custom griil in AMT's '53 PU, removing the bars.The lenses are cut down LEDs from an old flashlight. The rear window came from the '53 also. Tail lights from Revell '48 ford. The bed and side rails are made from coffee sticks, stained and cleared. The interior features a '49 Merc dash. '65 Galaxie rear seat with added head rests, and I believe the steering wheel is from a '53 Ford. The shifter is a shirt pin. I replaced the antenna with wire. Flared tubing was used for exhaust tips. Wheels/tires came from an Aoshima it. Paint is duplicolor dark garnet red metallic over Krylon color max gray primer. There's some minor paint flaws, but I think the finished product looks pretty good. It was a fun build. Comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Nice build. Put together well and nice detail work. Almost looks like a Jada diecast. Looks good.

Great little model. I like the weathering and the display base. Nicely done.

That's very cool. The paint looks perfect.

Quick web search got me these two.

Long lost Superbird test mule.

Another sweet looking build. One of my buddies had one of this vintage. Lotta memories. Some good, some not so much.

That looks really, really nice. I'm drowning in childhood memories over here.

The grill isn't placed on the fender unit correctly. It needs to be moved up and back to sit on the upper edge of the fenders. I have three of these kits and after checking, they all fit fine.

Hey Zip, this is coming along nicely so far. Nice work on gettin' the stance right. There's similar chrome fender spears in Revell's '58 Impala kit that might work for ya.

That's lookin' pretty slick. Awesome overall execution. Love it.

Fabulous work. Glad to see you back at it.

One sexy cat.

I've always loved these things. Would love to find a real one and drop a WRX engine in. Wonderful build.

!!!!!! Words escape me!

A Looker for sure. Ditto on the paint and finish. The chrome looks perfect.

This is all good information, I'll check the tamiya formula first and go from there. Thanks guys.

Novus fine scratch remover, then tamiya fine/finish polishing compounds.

I'm currently working on Revell's 83 442, (almost done). It wasn't until was polishing the hood that I noticed I had burned through a section of the hood while wet sanding. What would I use to remove the polish to repaint? If I have to strip it, no problem. Just wondering if I can remove it somehow. Thanks for any tips.

How about spraying the decal sheet with a satin/semi gloss clear coat, and then apply them to your first finished build? Not 100% sure this would work, just a though.
