Mike C Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I gave it dents and rust and body rot. I detailed the slant 6 too. I made the hood springs and notice the special AM radio antenna. I was able to hide the defects in the chrome bumpers and where they were attached to the tree with rust. I did use some PE and BMF too. Spark plugs are in the correct firing order. I even won some small contests with it. Non model builders like this model too. There's couple of WIP shots on there too. Edited June 10, 2016 by Mike C
Intmd8r Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Love it!It reminds me of my friends '64 barn find that he bought for $700 back in '04. It was red on red and he was going to replace the 318 V8 with a 413 (I think) that his uncle has laying around.He sold it for $1,400 a couple of weeks later without lifting a finger after someone made him an offer he couldn't refuese.SC
Badluck 13 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Soooooooooo much to see and very real life looking in the snow belt area......the coat hanger has got to be my favorite part HAHAHAHAHAHAH! love it!!
unclescott58 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Very nice! Looks like cars my friends and I use to drive in the day. It's prefect.
TooOld Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Great work and congrats on the trophy ! I actually had an antenna like that once !
Tyler62990 Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Love it. The weathering looks great and the missing trim piece is a great touch.
Plastheniker Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Very realistic! The model would deserve a vignette or small diorama.
feretzrus Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 As much as I love showroom shine, a fantastic weathering job is just as fantastic, if not better!
espo Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Very realistic weathering. I will have you know the radio reception was greatly enhanced with the use of said antenna despite its rather low price point.
V8 Trucker Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 nice idea made very beautiful and well photographed
