John Goschke Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Johan '59 Sport Fury stripped and rebuilt as a custom-painted, slightly "raked" daily driver circa 1960. New chrome on bumpers and taillights by Little Motor Kar Co. Modelhaus repro Johan '58 Dodge Lancer caps. Lake pipes from Revell '59 Impala hardtop "customizing kit." Added details include scratch windshield wipers, antenna. Clear portions of steering wheel added from AMT '62 Catalina. Weatherstripping added to side window opening with Evergreen strip. Vent windows replaced using thin PETE clear plastic from egg carton. Added a 1960 Pennsylvania license plate with the same registration code as the car that inspired the build, a Sport Fury ragtop painted in northern California in about 1960 by Jim Roten. Just for the hell of it, a scallop job group shot!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGary Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Words cannot express how cool this car is! I hope you enter it into a contest, just to blow many people's minds. I'm especially blown away by the paint. My big ol' fingers have trouble doing stuff like that. Maybe I'm too impatient. What tape did you use?

Modlbldr Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 John- A simply (although I doubt it was) BEAUTIFUL paint job. It must have been fun taping around the spare tire hump. Sure looks like you've got that scallop thing down pat! I can't wait to try my hand at such a thing. Nice job. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
