Ryan S. Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Finally wrapped this one up yesterday. Color is Boyd's Grape Pearl, the stripes are Testors one coat Graphite Dust. This was built pretty much OOB except the parts box wheels and tires and the valve covers and only some basic detail on the engine compartment. I did lower the stance a little bit as well. This was a fun build despite numerous paint problems. I'm really happy with how it came out. Thanks for looking.
voljeepx Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Nice work, Ryan! The purple looks really good on this 'bird. Hate to see that '34 leave your avatar, though!
Guest Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Nice job! That purple looks very similar to Mopar's Plum Crazy.
oldscool Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I like it! Looks just like the ones that were running the streets back in the 70s. oldscool
