Quick corvair curbside build

Can it get any better?

Got the interior done, photoetched window cranks, and turned a shift knob. 

also thanks to Eric, I got a front bumper cleaned up, painted and installed. Went with an idea and was able to pull off the pitted chrome look.

also dug some headlight lenses out of the parts bin and got those put on too.

Just need to make some plates, and it will be under glass

This has turned out so cool.

Looks good. How did you get the pitted look on the chrome?

Great looking model, Ralph Nader would be proud!

spray the black base, coat with enamel clear. After the clear flashes spray your alclad.

then before it was fully dry I used the texture from a rubber glove to imprint the clear base.

Thanks for sharing that tip. I'll have to remember that.
