charlie8575 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 A big, black, chrome-frosted Buick convertible with a red-and-white interior. Mmmmmm, among my favorite varietals of automotive creation. Beautiful job. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) MAN!! That thing looks good enough to eat! Maybe some model company (hint, hint) will see this and issue some new tailfin era kits. The '60 Buick (and the '59) would be a great start. Beautiful work. You saved great a one!!

Ron Hamilton Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thanks for all of the replies on this one, which has a very special place. When I was painting it, I received the call from my uncle that my father passed. I had to finish it in a style that would do him proud. He would have loved it.I just finished another glue-bomb. I hope to photograph it, and post it this weekend. My photo bucket is not working properly, so I have to use another posting site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
