Steamboat Posted March 29, 2024 Posted March 29, 2024 Got this one as a Christmas present. A member of our local model club asked me what I was going to do with all that chrome, and it made me think of stripping it down and making a gasser. It took me all of a football playoff game to sand off all the body chrome, which I guess would have been about half the time it would take to do all of the BMF! The paint is airbrushed Createx blue pearl covered with Duplicolor 1K clear, which seems to be a near foolproof combination. Decals are the "Christine" decals cut up to make "Cretin". The engine is cloned from the AMT Chrysler 392 hemi, but using Dodge rocker covers. Fuel injection stacks are Detail Master (I think) left over from another project. Parts box wheels and tires. Not too many 3d printed parts this time, just the front end components, gasser headers and the roll bar. Thanks for looking! 1
M W Elky Posted March 29, 2024 Posted March 29, 2024 It looks amazing the blue paint looks great, and those are some of the best looking crager ss wheels I’ve seen in kit form
Yeah Nah Posted March 29, 2024 Posted March 29, 2024 First time I've ever seen one of these done as a gasser. Great job!
ybsluos Posted April 3, 2024 Posted April 3, 2024 Clever work with the decals Bill! This build is burly.
Chinacar Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 Very nice build. Cruising in this thing you are definitely the king of the road.
Zippi Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 Pretty kewl looking old Gasser. I diggin the business end.
Stef Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 Wow, @Steamboat, this is insane awesome. Love your big boat gasser vibe, and you've just inspired me to rip into my 59 Galaxie Starliner and give it a similar treatment. Your "Cretin" moniker is a hilarious pièce de résistance that will be hard to match, let alone beat! 1
