kymdlr Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I received this kit already built in pretty bad shape . The paint was in several layers and super thick. Glue was everywhere. All of the glass was either missing or beyond repair so thanks to "Randy D" for saving me with new glass! I stripped all of the paint and started it over, here are the results.

58 Impala Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Nice job saving that model. I have a lot of patience building models but stripping that much paint would have tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Turned out beautifully. It would seem that the original builder couldn't makeup his mind as to what color he wanted. I don't think I've ever seen that thick of paint, O wait there is a restored '60 Ranchero here on the forum that may be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
