Nick Winter Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 Still looks pretty good to me. Nick
Nick Winter Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Wasn't gonna start this yet but I finished two old builds. Put it back in the box for now, till I finish two more, gonna start my '57 150 Police car tonight.
Nick Winter Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Another 50's Chevy. 1957 Chevrolet 150 Toronto Metropolitian Police car. This photo is of a Restored Unit currently in A museum. My Model Nick
Hypermung Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Can do Kevin. Sure can, you and I can get together and have a mini '58 Forward Look Plymouth showroom, Nick I'd like to be in also Nick. Though mine won't be a Plymouth. I'm thinking 1959 Dodge 2Dr HT. ........................... Still lots of fins though
Nick Winter Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Oooh Sweet '59, your in Glenn. Nick
Hypermung Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Oooh Sweet '59, your in Glenn. Nick Ok then..SWEET.. This is the 80's Excell re-issue of the Johan 59 Dodge in white styrene & was manufactured as a curbside kit, but I want to open the hood & show some engine detail. So?... Cut the hood out ... Then there's no engine bay to speak of.......... SOLUTION?...................................Take 1 58 plymouth kit & cut the detail you want out. Shouldn't be too hard to modify it to fit correctly
Hypermung Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 More work done to the 59 Dodge. I won't clutter this thread with countless pix of every little detail, but if you'd like to see more, I've started a seperate thread on this build in the 'On the workbench' section.
Nick Winter Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 Little more done on my '57, still need to touch up around the lips of the hood and BMF the body. Had to Chuckle under my workbench stacked is a '57 Chrysler, '58 Plymouth and '59 Chrysler Nick
tabsscale1 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Everybody is doing a great job so far. Maybe I will get to show some more progress here soon.

I'd be in that for sure.
Nick Winter Posted September 24, 2011 Author Posted September 24, 2011 Plan to soon as I finish some other builds that've been on my bench for atleast a year, maybe more. Nick
tabsscale1 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Got the hubcaps set the way i need them . The rear is a little low but this is just a mockup `Well last night i shot clear on this and i thought it looked pretty good. tonight i was saning on it to gett some goobers out of it and i dropped the body paint chipped pretty bad so now it is soaking to remove the paint. Will have to start all over.
CorvairJim Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 We've all been there, Todd, and we all hate it when it happens. All you can do is do it again and make it even better next time. Just treat the first go-round as practice! I'm in the middle of redoing a 1964 Corvair annual for the "Glue Bomb" CBP, and the clearcoat made the white color coat look flourescent yellow! OK, I like yellow (the best 1:1 Corvair I ever owned was yellow), but this is supposed to be a replica of a friend's 1:1 car, so yellow just won't work. My usual stripper, Royal Purple, wasn't touching it, even after a couple of weeks. I made a real mess of it trying to scrape it off with my fingernails, which left some nice gouges in the paint which I was afraid to try to sand out of it. A couple of days in brake fluid, and a busted windshield frame later, and it was back to the workbench for it.

Soaked mine in 91% alcohol paint came off last night but the primer and body putty is a little tougher just satrted softing up tonight. Put it in Super clean will see what happens
Nick Winter Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 Since I finished my '57 Chevy I have been working on my '58, Nick
Customizer Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Hey Nick, any chance I can get in on this? I've been away from car modeling for quite a while and I need some inspiration. I've got some old projects stashed away, can I put them in or should I start from scratch? Ron.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I hope you are making more progress on that paint job. It's looking real good.
