Claude Thibodeau Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 HI! Spring clean-up of numerous "leftovers"... Why not make the best of those? Junk bin 32 delivery body (MPC's ?), Phantom Vicky frame and grill shell, 41 Continental V12, Eldorado Latham blower, Sidewinder rolling stock, Dodge Caravan rear bench seat, 29 roadster headlights (all modified). Scratchbuilt: suspensions & bars, front gas tank, rear bumper/tail light, windshield and rear glass, mirrors, floor pan, shifter & pedals, door panels, exhaust "stack", brake and radiator hoses. Wired and hosed. Craftsmart acrylic Suede ( my favorite color)+ Testor:s Wet Look clear (my stock is dwindling fast, alas...). Alclad and Molotow. Hours of fun with styrene!

I had a 73 Ranchero back in the 70's, that I painted in lacquer with that very color, which was a '71 Eldorado color. I miss it to this day!

TransAmMike Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 As always Claude, another cool and masterful job. Thats some wild looking tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koellefornia Kid Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Great Rod! You gathered some very nice parts for this Deuce, Claude! I especially like the scratch built items like the front tank and the rear bumper with the integrated taillight bar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMuscleFan Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Great build Claude, you have proven time and time again that the theory that nothing is lost everything is created (I may have already used this one...) !!! You start to empty my vocabulary but not my admiration, I hope your wife thinks so too... 😊 The choice of components also proves your motto "Fun with styrene", that's what I call delivering the goods... 😉 Is Kings Custom Body a fictitious name? In my opinion, this is a brand that fits you like a glove, my friend. By the way, I see that the green air valves are back... Bravo encore !

Dennis Lacy Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 That’s one heck of a nice for a bunch of leftovers. You made it look like they all belong together. Stance and proportions are right-on and I really like the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
