62SS Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Bought this as a builtup gluebomb at a show back in September. Took it apart and stripped it. Painted it Testors one coat Graphite Dust with Slate Grey interior. Added BMF, Flocking, And a prewired distributor. Wheels and tires are from the AMT 62 Catalina and the bumpers are new from Modelhaus. Thanks for looking, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
