JTalmage Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Finished this one tonight. Bought it as an unfinished project from a friend about 5 years ago and stared at it in a display case on my shelf for that long. Finally decided it was time. I completely repainted the body. Foiled the trim. Had to make side glass and wing window glass from clear sheet. I spray tinted all the glass behind the cabin with Tamiya smoke. The chassis and wheel/tire combo was left as my friend had it. I loved the stance. He engineered some way to make it still steer too which was cool. Paint is Testors Revving Red on the body and Testors Diamond Dust on the roof. Interior is a krylon maroon color I had laying around when my old testors Dark Red failed me. Molotow brush painted the dash trim and inside door handles, etc. Also molotow brush painted the door handles, headlights, door locks, front "V" on the hood, and the ornaments on top of the fenders. Decals of the scrollwork are from Gopher Racing. The one on the back door ticked me off because it stuck like glue the second it touched.... and it's crooked. The one on the hood screwed up and I had to use my 2nd decal for it. The engine bay is nothing fancy. I plan to paint some red and silver surfboards for it soon. License plate is an old faded California black plate I printed long ago. Enjoy.

Koellefornia Kid Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Just the way where a '60s Caddy has to sit: in the weeds! Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbuildr Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Cool build, too bad Testors saw fit to discontinue so many of their lacquers. Revving Red looks good, I like the roof color too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
