lizardlust Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 One of the BEST renditions of the Flintstone body that I've witnessed, Chris - your foil work is lovely!!! I was wondering - did you turn the bullet lenses by lathe, or resin-cast them, or are they modified kit pieces? At any rate, one of the finest professional car replicas around!!!
chrismooney Posted August 8, 2009 Author Posted August 8, 2009 Looks good. Nice workmanship. thanks Kurt and everyone. The Paint is Krylon S8 from thge can and polished out with scatch-X. the lights were clear plastic grined down with a dremel tool and painted clear red... I should cast them......
DumpyDan Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 That is nice, I'd take a ride in that well maybe just a cruz
84vanagon Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 The epitomie of 50's wreched excess! Beautiful job!
chrismooney Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 The epitomie of 50's wreched excess! Beautiful job! Would the word be flamboyant????? LOL talk about riding to the Hosp in style!
93Z34 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Great job Chris! That Caddy really shines with all that chrome and flawless paint. Your bullet lights you made are great looking as well. The rotating light on the roof looks like it came from a Johan kit...possibly the Plymouth Fury Poilce Wagon kit, if I'm not mistaken? It's definitely an inspirational build to say the least. I have an old Ghostbusters kit myself I've been kicking around which direction I want to go in building that kit. Seeing your rendition really makes me want to go the "old style" ambulance route.

Seeing your rendition really makes me want to go the "old style" ambulance route. Brian this is a great kit.... the JF resin body can be had for under $10 if you get it from JF himself at a show... I added craft jewels to the JOhan light on the inside to get more detale... you can build yours any color combo you want as there were no state restictions on ambulance colors back then.... (some states still have restrictions such as they must be White with an orange stripe, and other states let you paint it any way you want) a nice color combo for an ambulance service would be off white and a nice hosta green color....

Modlbldr Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 What a beautiful job, Chris. Man, that thing is huge! I don't envy you having to do all of that BMF'ing. Thanks for sharing. Later-
SteveG Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Well done Chris !!! .... I hope the one I have on my workbench ends up looking that good. Steve
