traditional Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 I've just completed this traditional full custom '54 Chevy from a derelict stock diecast (missing some parts) to which I've chopped the top ,added custom headlight and taillight detail, changed the side trim, modified and detailed the six cylinder motor, added a custom roll-n-pleat interior, carpeted the interior and trunk with white felt, added custom exhaust, and used a bunch of period custom touches throughout the body. The project has taken well over 100 hours to complete and while I'm sure i'll be fiddling with lots of details for the next few days, I consider it complete at this point. Materials used include styrene, tin, aluminum, brass, plated jewelry wire, felt, bondo, polycarbonate, and, of course, the original diecast and plastic. etc.
wayne swayze Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Man! You build nice stuff!! Thanks for showing the rear fender mods in progress! That's just great! Thanks for sharing.
Ramfins59 Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Nice work Cliff. You sure do some nice work on modifying diecasts, and your period custom touches are spot-on.
59 Impala Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Beautiful fer sure. I like it very much. I did something similar with two 53 Fords. Although I didn't channel them, on one I did chop the top and used 56 Packard tail lights on both of them. What color is your custom? I want to do a Chevy now. Probably a 56 with the Packard lights on it also. I see that yours is also a diecast and you did a wonderful job working on it. Congrats. Dan
Yenkocamaro Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Wow, Clifford, that looks fantastic! Always great to see what you are working on, and the end results. Cheers, Lance
AzTom Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 That is a beautifully done model. The paint look incredible. This is 1/24 right? Thanks for sharing.
