Wow, that one came out really nice!

Awesome build!

Salt method is simple, there are several variations on the technique as well. Just go to youtube and watch one of our own Dr.Cranky how to's.

I did a quick search through this forum and didn't find anything. May have missed it though. Wondering if anyone is casting any base model parts for the new Revell '67 Camaro. Like a flat hood, base grille, straight six, base wheel covers, etc?

Thanks guys. Yes, the crazy headers were in the '53 Stude kit as well.

This was our club build this year, (Florida Auto and Scale Trucks), so we each built one any way we wanted. I pretty much box stocked it, except I used the dual blown Chrysler Hemi out of the recently re-issued '53 Studebaker kit. The white walls are from Vinyl Nation, and the distributor is from Fatkidd Hobby Products. The body is turquoise over red oxide primer, and was "worn out" using the salt method. I de-chromed and weathered the bug catchers and blowers.

Awesome! I just did one of these too, not to long ago.

Thanks very much guys!

Awesome! Killer cool............right down to the stance, color, etc.

Awesome save! Love the green on this one.

Classy! Love it!

I used the ones designed for the generic AMT Firestones. The ones we all used to paint the wide whites on......lol.

Beautiful Chuck. I love the mild kustom touches.

Al, you're a lean, mean, modelling machine!

I do the same thing with these! I love it, looks fantastic!

Gorgeous!

Another beauty!

Beautiful build Al!

This is the Revell kit with resin 4 door sedan body, door panels and front seat from Morgan Automotive Detail. I sprayed it in a color to represent factory Cumberland Green with light green and grey interior. First I must say that the resin was excellent, and I had no fit problems with it. The wires/dist are from Fatkidd Hobby Products and the wide whites are 3M vinyl from Vinyl Nation. The paint I used was the worst stuff I've ever worked with, but after one strip job and a bunch of bad words, it all worked out in the end.

'67 Oldsmobile Delmont 88...........yes please, a 4 door hardtop '68 Mercury Cougar GT-E '68 Chevy Bel Air............4 door sedan '69 Plymouth Belvedere...............wagon or sedan '70 Buick Estate Wagon...............yes, yes, yes '72 Chevy Biscayne...........yep, especially a sedan or wagon '73 Ford LTD Brougham.............Oh yeah, again, sedan or wagon '74 Mercury Cougar XR7..........possibly, but too similar to the '73 '78 Ford LTD II.............sedan or wagon '79 Ford thunderbird............yes, yes, yes '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass...............one of those oddball slant back ones '85 Ford Mustang GT and LX notchback '90 Chevy Caprice...........make it a '77 two door with the cool rear window Just my ideas on your list. There are many more I'd like to see as well. Thanks for a great list

Another beautiful build Rich!

Scott, Spaz Stix seems to work better for me than Alclad, but everyone's experience may be different. I do know that it's pretty user friendly as long as you prep well and lay a good very glossy coat of black enamel first. Give it a shot on some spare parts first and see what you think.

Thanks guys! @ Charlie- I like using the Spaz-Stix. I use it in a aerosol, strip the old chrome, sand any mold lines out smooth, de-grease really well, prime, shoot gloss black enamel, and I hit one light coat of Spaz-Stix outside in the sun. I've found it comes out best for me like that, but may vary with different folks. Much cheaper and quicker than re-chroming, and I actually feel it looks more realistic.

Awesome!

Beautiful restoration!
