Lil John Buttera's Chopped 34 Ford Coupe

[Dragline]

I went through a box in my closet and came up on this. Original issue kit that I have owned for over 25 years. It seems as though I got sick of it so very close to the finish line. I stuck it under some running water and Dawn dish soap for the photos. I'll wager it has been in this state for 20 years. The rest of the parts are all there. The door handle and hoses are in a little baggie.

 

I think it's high time I finished it. And apparently all you need is gloss black, flat black and silver to build it.

 

Have you ever built one?

Yup I have - a long, long time ago not long after it was first released in the 80's. It has the Butera T chassis with the body shrunk to match but builds up nicely. Here is a shot of the chassis where I got a bit carried away with detail

Wow! That brings back some memories. I built one back when it was first released. I remember it being a really nice detailed kit. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

That's a nice looking little Hot Rod.

I took a couple of pix of my build up earlier this evening. Bear in mind that this was built more that 30yrs ago. Paint would have been a custom mix of Humbrol with Humbrol clear enamels and polished out with dulled 2000g wet n dry sandpaper and polished with car polish.

And as said above it builds into a nice little hot rod

That looks great! Thanks for posting it.
