mod3l Lover Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 What is the color you used on this? It looks kindalike a gold color, but sometimes it's hard to tell inphotos because of lighting, etc.! Should be a very cool build though. David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) And if you want to see the car in action: They used a double for the last scene; too bad it was a real '56 Nomad as well! (Might make an interesting diorama if you could find a '73 Chevy longbed pickup kit...) Edited July 29, 2017 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Sure looks like it. That was a rare treat east of the Mississippi back then...I was spoiled and didn't realize it at that time, I was living in southern California and Coors was the Brew of choice at the time.

The turn signal amber really pops in the sun , looks in scale also . Now to let it dry for a week or two . Thanks for your time Jeff .
