Paul Payne Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 This has been one that has been kicking around for awhile. Mating a sectioned Deuce grille to the front end. The rear is an old continental kit with a Corvette ZR-1 rear valence. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Fitting front end treatment. Better than using an old Edsel grill for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Payne Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 David, I wanted a bit more of a classic front end, and what more fitting than a classic Deuce grille? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 it kinda has an imperial look to it with the more pronounced grille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Payne Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 Added in the headlights, again from a ZR-1 Corvette. Did some sanding to begin reducing the heaviness of the rolled pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RW033 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 What putty and primer are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Payne Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Ryan, I am using automotive one part red putty in the tube and Testors flat black for primer. My go to for years. Putty doesn't seem to shrink once dry- at least not yet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Now that it's in primer, the lines are really looking sharp. To my eyes, it has a bit of a Facel Vega vibe about it - which I love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
