I had one of those when I was a kid. Lots of fun to work with and you did a great job.

Looks really good in blue. Great job

There was a time when GM and Ford had a few drinks together.

This kit deserved the extra touches as a more correct shifter, guage decals and wiring. I won it through eBay as an open box but complete. The plastic that held the parts, crumbled. Love this kit. Not correct but fun to get it close.

Duplicolor Chromecast red with duplicolor clear enamel rattle cans. No polishing. Got lucky I guess.

Crazy idea I had with spare parts. Made tools and coffin to scale. That's also real dirt with ca to keep it in place.

I had a few more but didn't survive moving so often.

Really great kit. Everything fit with minimal flashing. My example is mostly correct and wasn't meant to be. I copied and pasted the Canadian driver to complete the drivers decal. Duplicolor chrome yellow directly over the white body without primer. Future floor polish to seal it.

What's the engine compression? So much detail. Better encase it to preserve it. Awesome job!
-
I like it a lot. I did one a few years ago and the clear coat didn't work out so I cut it apart for parts.
-
Went for a used look with this one because I bought it open box and pieces were missing.

Looks really nice.
-
Very well done!

Very inspirational! Probably the nicest mod car I've seen yet. -

Very very nice

Another old rebuild. Clear was yellow and smoking inside didn't help. I just reprinted the decals, put on some duplicolor white and cleared with duplicolor enamel.

A rebuild 25 years later. Spoiler and tach went missing during that time so had to improvise. Since it was custom enough, I added GT3 wheels. Duplicolor metalcast red over black plus clear and floor polish. I've only ever done rattle cans for my cars.

I have built level 5 and not much difference from an old level 2. Sometimes they add parts that could have easily been molded in or just include many small decals. 1,2, and 3 were much better to grasp. I'm scared to accidentally pick up a skill 1 or 2 now.

New to this forum and some may have seen me around on FB model clubs. Been doing models since I was 8 and 47 now. Too bad this info was impossible to get back then. This was my latest creation.

Best substitute for chrome , in a can please
Lyle Siemens replied to GaryR's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have used the duplicolor chrome many times. It doesn't like anything touching it. I haven't tried future though but any other type of clear will turn it grey. It works very well as long as you don't handle it too much after.
