65 Galaxie - Very Mild Custom

[Nitro330]

I usually have a simple build going while I am working on a detailed build.  That is the case here.  Been doing this one while working on the 67 Camaro drag car on the WIP page.  This is not my normal wheelhouse.  First time I have ever used a kits custom parts (bumpers, grill, headlights/tail lights).  Only non-kit things I added are the tires/wheels, air cleaner, distributor and speakers/amps.  This is not a good kit and the age of the tooling is apparent.  This was also my first time ever using acrylic paint on a body.  It's Createx Pear Plum.  And yes, I know there is no radiator hose yet.  Kit did not even come with one.  I will make one up and try to get a couple of decent pictures in the sunlight where you can really see the color.

Please excuse the crappy lighting.

Terry, I don't know where the tire and rim combo came from, but they look spectacular on this car! Well done!

Super sweeet! Love the color and the wheels/tires. Great detail work, too.

Cool Galaxie there Terry. Colour, stance and wheels work well together. Well done. 

Cheers,

Thanks! The tires/wheels are from Jays Resin Wheels 1948 (eBay).

I'm working the same kit right now and having similar issues. Mine certainly won't be as pretty as yours, but I'm gonna try.

Very nice job Terry, nice to see another Createx user here. I did the '57 Pro Street model in this color.

Nice custom Galaxie! I can think of one word to describe it: Smooth!

[slusher]

Nice work, Terry! Colour. wheels and stance really suits the Galaxie, so does the nice detail work!

Thanks Mike!  It took a little bit to figure out what psi to use and how much to thin it, but I like the way it covered and once I got the clear on it, loved the color.  And it's pretty cheap!

Great looking paint color and finish. The added custom parts enhance the overall look of the body.

Looks pretty sweet to me.  I really like that Createx Pear Plum.
