Steve_L Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 These are pictures of my 1976 Caprice Custom that was part of an ACME club group build. The car is extensively customized. I removed the trim and grafted custom parts from the 1963 Ford Galaxie to the front and rear ends. I hinged the hood at the front. I used Evercoat Polyester Glazing Putty for the body work. The drive train is a Chevy LS motor and six speed transmission from the 2002 Camaro kit. I used a lot of aftermarket parts, including a radiator cap, oil filer cap and engine pulleys. I installed valve stems in the parts box mag wheels. The low profile tires are also from my parts box. The interior is stock except for a Hurst shifter (It actually has the word Hurst on the stalk) and extensive detailing with Bare Metal foil. The primer is Duplicolor Filler primer with airbrushed Model Master Guards Red acrylic and airbrushed Kilz Clear Coat. I polished the paint with 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000 LMG polishing pads. I followed that up with Novus Number 3, 2 and 1 polish . There were some glitches along the way, but it was a fun build. Enjoy!
Dr. Cranky Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Really different and i like it. The color makes it really stand out, and of course the body mods.
