This is the tale of 2 Cudas. One was born Lemon Twist and the other was born Ivy Green Metallic. The Lemon Twist I left the wheel lips alone the way they were molded, wish I had sanded them down alittle. Paint is from Scale Finishes and clear is Testors Model Master Lacquer High Gloss Clear. I polished the clear some and use Novus #2 to finish the body off. I Bare-Metal Foiled the trim. It will have Black interior and I have purchased a set of the AMT Goodyear Polyglas GT Tire sets for it. The Ivy Green Metallic, I decided to try and replicate Steve Juliano's Mod Top Hemi Car. I sanded down the wheel lips to look alittle more accurate. I added the vinyl top trim with Evergreen Strip Styrene half round .040". I added the same strip size to the roof to replicate the vinyl top seams and sanded them down some to flatten them out. Paint is again from Scale Finishes and clear is Testors Model Master Lacquer High Gloss Clear. I polished the clear some and use Novus #2 to finish the body off.I Bare-Metal Folied the trim. I purchased the Mod Top Floral pattern from Keith Marks Decals. I cut the Mod Top decal to approximate size and started to decal. I need to seal them with something, very fragile at this time and don't want them to flake off over time, any suggestion for sealing the decal pattern? This one will have the Dark Green Metallic interior in it. I purchased vinyl interior dye from Classic Industries for this. Interior Here's a few pics together.
