1960 Courier

Jimmy Flintstone has made a few bucks off me due to the incredible bodies he makes...this one is no exception and needs very little work to make it look good. Instead of a blown 427 i used a 302 four-barrel...not my usual engine but it fits like a glove.

Interesting build! I have one that I may convert into a two door wagon.

I have one as well; how will you deal with the pebbly finish - prime then sand, or sand first then prime?

Plan for mine is a beater surfboard carrier jacked up in the rear with some primer/mismatched paint on the front end and a '60 grille, like someone bought it wrecked and fixed it up on the cheap.

This particular casting is very smooth, no pinholes and needs only some wet sanding to make it perfect.I guess I got lucky. Other resin bodies in the past have been horrible and took a lot of work. This one is a peach.
