Car Crazy 81 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Heres another one of my builds im looking to get started on i bought this one from a model show back in March for 2 bucks it was an old glue bomb when i seen it i thought potential. Im building this one as a unchopped late 60's cruiser with slotted wheels, Chevy 409 ci & a black paint job. I'll keep ya'll updated.

Car Crazy 81 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Heres some updated pics of the Coupe its finally on all fours but i'd still need to add the motor mounts, transmission crossmember & the shock braces. I was originally was gonna go with a Chevy 409 ci it looked out of place i was thinking of going with a 283 or a 327 Chevy, Buick Nailhead or a 361 ci out of a 58 Edsel. The front axle is out of a AMT 40 Willys kit & the rear axle is from a Revell 66 Chevelle Wagon kit. I'd plucked the wheels from a Monogram 55 Chevy Street Machine kit. As far as the paint is concerned i'd havent decided the gray primer is kinda of growing on me. Any Suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 i was looking forward to seeing a vintage 409 in there! but still its coming along well! sounds like for color you might want the rat look? how about some tinted primer or just a light color with dull coat sprayed over it?

Joe Nunes Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 That gray primer with red accents here and there would look cool...maybe use the Buick Nailhead for something a bit different and drop the front just a tad...looking forward to seeing this finished Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
