59-Desoto Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Started out as a pretty bad ld build up missing a few parts, it was built back in the 60ies and everything about it was showing its age. All the chrome was redone, I replace the interior tub because of all the 60ies accessories being glued to the seats. The only resin on it is the hood ornament. It proved to be a challenge because the body had some blistering to it. I had to make the red tail lights from clear rod because the ones on the car was incorrect. Anyway this is the end results Edited June 16, 2017 by 59-Desoto

ChrisBcritter Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 You've really done justice to the Imperial, Gene! (Note my avatar ) Are the wire wheels from the Moebius Chrysler 300?
Eric Macleod Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Ooo La La! My kind of a model. My kind of car. I like a '62 anything. Very nicely done.
darthsideous Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Seeing what it started out as and what you built it up to be.... simply amazing!
