What's up everybody? Haven't posted anything for a couple of months until last night due to starting a new job on the graveyard shift (there's a reason they call it the graveyard shift!) and getting sidetracked by airplanes. I like to switch back and forth to keep from getting burned out on one subject.
Just finished this one and it brings back a lot of memories of the one I built as a kid.
The chrome on the top was too damaged to save when I took it out of the box. So what you see is Testors metallizer aluminum plate from spray can. Turned out OK after the second try and looks more like the real show car this way. Body is brush painted with Model Master red acrylic. Brush painting worked on a body this small. Engine, seats and front axle are Acryl gloss black. Painted the scoop red because there was a bad seam in the two part scoop that had to be sanded. This is the first T bucket style rod I have built since I was a teen and I forgot how fiddly the suspension is on these things. Anyway, hope you like it.
