Dragline Posted yesterday at 03:42 PM Posted yesterday at 03:42 PM Original issue that was started almost immediately. Then I decided no stripe, since that would have been a nightmare. Then I blacked out a bunch of items. I was going for box stock at the time. I was kind of fantatical about OOB builds for a while. High detail had worn me out with all the drag cars I had been building. I needed a break and this came along at the right time. Fathom green from Testors I believe. Tan interior. At this time I was a kit builder. I still am in many respects. This sat in the box for 12 years at least. It needs a few items, but I had it on the bench so I shot it as is. 14
Coyote_6 Posted yesterday at 03:51 PM Posted yesterday at 03:51 PM So retro! Very cool. And very convincing, especially grill and headlights. Do you wash the headlights with black? They look super good! Steve 1
espo Posted yesterday at 08:00 PM Posted yesterday at 08:00 PM Great paint finish and clean body trim. Like the engine detailing and the interior. 1

karbuildr Posted yesterday at 09:22 PM Posted yesterday at 09:22 PM Very well done build. Fathom Green is a unique color. Very nice detailing, not the easiest kit to build. 1
STU111 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago This looks awesome! Good call on the stripe delete, looks better without them. top notch. 👍🏻 1
ncbuckeye67 Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago That looks amazing! Fathom Green is my favorite GM color. I saw a fully restored 69 at a car show, painted that color. 1
