  6. Hi guys, I haven’t posted anything for a while so I grabbed a kit off the shelf and put her together, This is a Thumpeter 1960 Bonneville, A first for me to build a Thumpeter Kit , It went together pretty well , I bought this as a not complete kit, missing its interior door cards and the rear seat , not a big problem, I made new doors cards with a white diamond tuck pattern and made a complete rear seat cover , the rest of the build went pretty smooth, shaved doors, French antennas, lowered and riding on a set of Pegasus Astro Supremes plus a pearl white base color with a candy teal fade and silver metal flake top give it a cool 1960’s vibe . All in all it’s a good kit and builds into a pretty decent look model, thanks for looking !

  11. I have to agree, I’ve owned 5 real ‘57 chevys and 2 real ‘56 chevys, and as much as I like the look of the ‘57’s, I “love” the look of the ‘56 !!
  12. You learn something new every day, for years I've been stripping paint off my models with easy off, break fluid, and even purple power, a couple weeks ago I painted this 76 caprice with automotive paint, pearl white base, topped with a 2K clear, sanded it with 800 grit sand paper, then useing houses of kolor added multi candys , it looked fairly good, to finish it off I added candy blue and re cleared it , and right away I hated it !! So after a couple days walking around it , off to the strip tank it went , My buddy Tim told that rubbing alcohol would strip it, I didn't believe it but tried it anyway and sure enough after a week of sitting in the tank it with only rubbing alcohol it stripped it all the way down to the primer ! I had no idea, not sure if it will work on all paints buy it worked on automotive paint and 2K clear .
  13. Awesome looking 67 ! Nice job !
  14. Love 56 chevys ! Yours looks great !
