This one is a recovered glue bomb, so she's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with the results. When I started, she was badly painted, there was glue on pretty much every surface, 3 of 4 wheels were broken off, the rear suspension was installed upside down outside the leaf springs, one headlight was missing... Etc. I pulled some parts off an unsalvageable Torpedo Phaeton. I used an Xacto chisel to cut the engine mounts so I could rebuild and paint the engine, then drilled and pinned it all back together. The colors are Tamiya pearl green and racing green.

Great looking paint colors and finishes especially considering what you had to start with. Lots of great looking chrome trim and finishes.
