Zippi Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I started this build last year and kinda lost interest in it so it went to the back of the bench where it sat for months. This year I decided to finish this build but just couldn't seem to get motivated on it. I painted it with a Tamiya rattle can and the paint just didn't come out right. I wet sanded the heck out of the paint and the clear in an attempt to save it. I had it looking pretty good then while gluing in the lovers I dropped the model. It hit the bench pretty hard as I tried to gab it while it was going down and just slammed it even harder onto the bench and it slide over and landed on the open glue bottle. Damage.....The engine broke out, scratch on the roof, and glue got on the roof, PS rocker panel, and the deck lid. When I glued the engine back in I must have got it off a little as the hood would no long fit right. Well, you know how it is fellows, it is what it is I guess. Chassis is from the AMT 1966 Nova Pro Street kit that was modified, the Ford Blown Boss 429 is via the Iceman, Wheels and tires are from the AMT 1967 Chevelle Pro Street kit, Paint is Tamiya TS-51 Racing Blue, interior is red oxide primer cleared with a Matte clear, bright work is bmf.

FoMoCo66 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 You saved it! This looks awesome and was well worth it. Even through all the ups and downs this project it was fun to watch. It looks straight out of 1989. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Bob, you should beat up your models more often if they come out looking this good! I love the color choices and pro-street direction you took it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
