Resin 59 Nash gasser

[BIGTRUCK]

Took a little bit to get the interior to fit, but with thin walling the body inside ,and removing the floor it fits great now. Kit come with everything you see except tires and wheels. Curbside build. The cast surface is pretty clean.

Very cool.  I've always wanted to do a build of the Hot Wheels Metroliner.

May I ask who the resin manufacturer is?

Not sure, I dont remember seeing any vendor name on the box, bought it about 3 years ago.

Nice project!

[BIGTRUCK]

I thought about the colors being Peach/White but settled on a  Yellow/White. Cut all the old chassis detail out like gas tank , muffler and pipes then realized it really didnt matter since I was not opening things up for an engine but it does look better. Added some suspension details to the chassis and an old style hood scoop. I swapped out the front wheels with some machined ones I got from Vince"vintagedragcrazy" Nelson a while back, I think they work good on the Nash.

Got the interior and 90% of the chassis completed. Started on the BMF , but its not bad foiling this one, I switched back to "chrome" instead of the "bright- chrome " I was using. Once the body gets all chromed up I need to start cutting and fitting for windows.

That is a fun little project!  I have a stock resin body, I believe mine was from R&R

I need to get a stock one when it comes along, change up the grille to make a Hudson Metropolitan.

I have personally seen the Lake's speed shop " car run in 1960's. It was quite a phenomenon in its day.
