Thank you guys, I myself aren't too crazy about the big wheels and low profile tires, I do this very rarely but I just wanted something quick before deciding on my next project. Sometimes is nice to step out of the box and do abnormal BS like this....😁

Quicky build. AMT 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 from their Prestige Series of kits. Wanted to do something a little different so I went the Pro-Touring route. Paint is Splash Caffeine Metallic with a Splash 2K clear. Wheels and tires are aftermarket printed in 3D. Went with a combination of Alclad Gold Titanium and Brass for the wheels. This is a curbside build. Wanted to keep it as simple as possible so, even badging and emblems were omitted. This is a very simple kit which I had in my stash for the longest....

Yes…..

Gracias mi pana, saludos…..

Just a little modification….

Yes it did, I like it as well.....

Got this baby completed yesterday. Paint is Restoration Shop Condor Yellow given to me by my good friend Vince LoBosco. Clear is Splash 2K. Interior color is simply Red Oxide Primer. Rolling stock is from a Fujimi Kit so please, avoid using the ones in the kit, I personally thought they were horrible, specially the tires. Fun kit......

Okay fellas, I finally finished this thing and took better images outside like I usually try to do with every completed build. The kit used was the 1/25 scale Revell 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. First thing I did when I got it out of the box is eliminate the ugly "Off-Road" style flares that this horrible body comes with. It's just not right leaving those things on there. I also opened the grill and also the vents on the hood. After a little more work on the body, I primed with MCW Finishes Fine Primer and used Splash Paints Factory F8 Green for the color. I used Testors Medium Field Green for the interior. Once the basecoat dried, I went ahead and used Splash Paints 2K for my clear. After the 2K dried, I went ahead and wet sanded and polished. The rolling stock is compliments of Mean Machine Models, Alex Bowen offers these, and they are absolutely amazing so go to his website and order you some. You will be amazed at the details of these and the rest of the stuff he offers. Not to mention the great service and low prices. The top is a decal which is transparent, so you need to use a white base first before applying it. In this case I just used Tamiya White Primer, applied two light coats of wet look clear and then applied the decal taking advantage of the slick, glossy finish of the clear to put it in place. It was a very thin decal, so I was successful after the second try. Of course, I gotta take time out and thank my good friend Frank Steffens for giving me the decals, you are awesome my friend. No, he does not sell them so please don't ask. The build was inspired by the late Steven Juliano. His Mod Top ´Cuda has a great but sad story behind it. Just Google Steven Juliano´s ´Cuda for more info on the real car. Had a lot of fun with this one guys so hopefully you like it.....

Thank you fellas, appreciate you guys very much and I am honored to know you liked it.....

Greetings fellas, it’s been a while not completing one so I am just happy this is done just in time for the show next week. This is a Tamiya kit with a ZoomOn Wide Body Kit. It was a bit challenging using it but with a little TLC I got it done. The color is Liquid Blue, two part base coat and a 2K clear to top it off, both from Splash. Tires and wheels are included with the Widebody kit. Hope you guys like it…..

Thank you guys, this thing doesn't even have an engine installed because it was built for just this very purpose. Had a lot of fun putting this one together, always glad that I can be of help.....

Thank you Ron, hope all is well with you. Miss you at the meetings......

Greetings fellas, this model will be featured in the next issue of Auto Modeler Magazine as a tutorial for vinyl tops.
