Rockford Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Just love these old barges! Added a vinyl roof to this using masking tape but had to make drip rails around the side glass first as they were so poorly moulded, otherwise this kit is spot on dimensionally, even if not the most technically advanced. I always look at this car and imagine its graceful stance being cast aside for sheer brutality as the throttle blades crack open and make the big block roar and the tyres screech in protest. 2
espo Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Great looking build. The colors you used really compliment the body lines. Very cleanly detail and the vinyl roof just looks right on these.
doorsovdoon Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Very nice. I like those wheels, they suit the car perfectly.
Husky1943 Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Stephen, love it all the way around. You did a really good job on the vinyl roof! Even got the amidship seam just right! Congrats!
Deuces ll Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Absolutely beautiful!..... Not bad for a crappy old kit... ??
Spottedlaurel Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Excellent work, it looks really good. I love the subtle appearance it has.

Even got the amidship seam just right! Congrats! Husky, thanks for the kind words. I have to say I have had so many comments in the past that have said "love the vinyl roof but you forgot the seams at the side" when Chevy split theirs down the centre. Ford and Chrysler used two side seams. You're the first perso to acknowledge that. At last I've been vindicated. I've had two Chevy's from the 70s, both with factory vinyl tops and both had central seams. I've got to thank everyone for their kind comments. It's spurred me on to post a few other builds I've done over the years.
