Plowboy Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I built this a few years ago. It's just a simple curbside build. The inspiration came from the Brad Leisure box art. For some reason, it really grabbed my attention. I used all of the custom pieces in the box. Up front, it was missing something. So, I added a molded in front bumper and gave the grille a more V shape. The kit I used didn't have wide whitewalls. So, I sourced those from another kit. I made dual antennas from wire and the bases from a '64 Impala. Although I liked the boxart, I wanted to choose my own colors and add scallops. The lower body got Tamiya Lime Pearl with Testors White Lightning scallops. The roof got Testors White Lightning with Lime Pearl scallops. The interior was painted flat white and Model Masters Green Go. The dash got Lime Pearl. Thanx for checking it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTallDad Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Very different! That scoop (or is it a cowl?) on the trunk suggests the engine is in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
