hedotwo Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Did this Dodge in parallel with my 59/60 wagon project and it helped fill the time during the drying delays on the wagon. I usually start with built-ups in worse condition but this one was actually in really good condition other than having to remove the skirts and source a replacement interior as this one had the dreaded glued-in cloth interior. I've never found a way to remove that stuff and have anything decent left afterwards. I used Scalefinishes Mocha and Tamiya X-10 Gunmetal. Lots of foiling/detail on this one with BMF and Molotow.

espo Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Beautiful looking Dodge. You were lucky to find that nice of a starting point. The rear wheel well openings must have been a challenge with that glue damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfins59 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Great looking Dodge Rich. This is one of my favorite cars as I used to own a 1:1 '59 Dodge Coronet. On 6/8/2021 at 12:39 PM, OldTrucker said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Very nice, Rich - which interior did you use (the X-EL promos at least didn't have one) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the interior from a 59 Fury. I used part of the Fury body as a donor for the 60 wagon project so I found myself with that interior available. Fit beautifully, although I had to add some 020 stock to both sides to fill the gap between the body and the interior. I'm ok with cheating a bit with authenticity... it ends up in my display case anyway 😉 Edited June 11, 2021 by hedotwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
