“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ vol # 106 CLAIR SANDERS LIME FIRE BARRACUDA FUNNY CAR

M W Elky · May 24

i constructed this with parts from several great kits. The body is a mixture of a MPC body and the polar lights body as I showed on the wip drag racing part of this form . It all fit together really nice. I did this because I wanted a body with a stock unchopped roof line . It came out so good that I’m going to build a couple more bodies this way. The paint job was a little tricky as it’s a rattle can mixture of testors lime ice misted over Inca gold lacquer topped with Tamyia clear I used emerald green on the chassis . I had been wanting to build this one for quite some time now , and thanks to Joe at FREEMONT RESIN it is now possible with his new decals.
