68 Ford Galaxie, Problem child 2

[RDean58]

At least I have good front and rear bumpers and a hood for the other one I got recently. This one may turn into a custom because of the dead frame, dead glass, and burn mark on the body. We will see if the old paint comes off or not.

 

Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

Purple power and a sanding stick will have that body looking brand new. Its a rarer car to save, good luck!!

Boy that green looks a little rough.  Put it in the drink (Purple pond) for a while.

Don't rule out cheep brake fluid for paint removal if all else fails. That stuff would do a number on paint on a real car. Did the builder just spread glue around on the chassis ? At least the Bumpers and Grill look good and the Tail Lights should be removable. You can make new glass when needed.

First soak with Easy Off.  It came out pretty good so I'm doing it again ?

My type of build, saving old plastic, great start.

I bought a built up like that years ago,yours looks like it could be saved and built stock if you choose that way.Here's a pic of my rebuild,may redo it as some parts i'm not happy with.

LOL i have a 68 glue bomb just like that and it was also brushed in that green i think it was the same guy.!!! the bottom looks the same only in orange it has been sitting in my to do box for 10 years i was lucky when i got it Modelhause was around and o got all new chrome and taillights and i had to get a hood to the one i have has one big hole in it. I think it's time to start mine to. good luck with yours i will be watching it.

RDean58, I think the AMT 1969 Ford Galaxie uses that same chassis, if I remember correctly. Mark or Snake can you confirm this?

Also nice save ! Don't make it a Kustom, unless all the Stock detail is gone on the body! I'll be watching this one, too!
