1964 Chrysler Imperial

[RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA]

Another new build. AMT 1/25 scale 1964 Chrysler Imperial in Royal Ruby with red interior. Finished with SprayMax 2K clear coat.  

This arrived in the mail in February and the good thing is the original builder didn't paint the body and only assembled the car with a mix of stock and custom parts. The glues used during the sixties appears to be one that melts section of the plastic so I had to do some repairs using body filler. I replaced the kit's custom wheels(I know those are from the kit because they're shown in the instructions) with spare wheels I had leftover from the Moebius '61 Pontiac Catalina kit. It's really hard to find the original Imperial wheel covers because these Imperial models themselves are extremely tough to find. For now these Poncho wheels will do and keeps the car in its time period. Kind of like a Day Two car.

Good job with the rebuild of this kit. Always great to see an older model being saved and given a second life!
