pack rat Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Just finished restoring this builtup I picked up at a show awhile back. I was glad to find this one; it completed my collection of Johan 1960 annuals. Paint is Tamiya TS-74 clear red, body, interior, everything; the different shades being determined by the base color. The base color on the body is TS-42 light gunmetal. I didn't have stock hubcaps for it, but I substituted a set of '61 Olds caps from my stash. They're close enough for now.

PappyD340 Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 WOW that's a real stunner, great restoration!
'70 Grande Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Wow! I always look with unknown anticipation at these "Restoration" posts, and this particular one has to be one of the finest examples that I have ever seen posted. What an amazing transformation... extremely well done!
espo Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Hard to believe this is the same car. The paint is beautiful and with that shine you wouldn't be able to hide and body issues. The wide whites and full wheel covers look just right.
Kah puts Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Outstanding, excellent choice of colours inside and out. I can't get enough of these late 50's early 60's dreamboats.
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Wow! That's a pretty car! Nice work! Steve
