62 Buick Electra

[Canuk]

While waiting for the paint to harden on my Ferrari GTO I picked up AMT 62 Buick.

Not a whole lot of detail in the kit but I wanted to try my hand at a lowrider.

Used the wheels and tires from a 57 Chevy kit and also the front and rear axles. Had to cut out the molded in rear axle and sand down the front to get the ride height right.

Here are some mock up pics.

Not going to do much detailing on the chassis as I want to see what I can do for a custom paint job.

Thanks for looking and ideas and suggestions always welcome.

Got the body in primer and set the base for the flames.

The colors are Testors Acrylics and I am going to seal them with Future before masking.

Thanks for looking.
