This was my second attempt at salt chipping my paint.

This is my rendition of an old Salt Flats racer that was pulled from a barn to go race. I wanted something better for the tonneau cover snaps but ended up just dotting with a marker. The cover is tissue paper coated in Mod Podge to hold its shape.

I spread out a strip of glue and a strip of salt and rolled the tires through both. 

I didn’t like the large size of the front tires but they were a set and I figured back in the day, the non-sponsored racers grabbed what they could.

You had my attention at Salt!  This is such a nice rendition of an early salt car.  I have also tried flour to create a salty tire look - it looks a little closer to scale, even though it doesn't sparkle as well as the real thing!

Cheers
