Steve_L Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Custom 2000 Concord These are pictures of an update to a build I originally completed in 2001. I started with an AMT Slammer kit and added a Jimmy Flintstone resin 2-Dr body. I enjoyed the original build, but with one disappointment. The Krylon Purple paint didn't produce a very vivid hue. At that time, I was not in the habit of trying out paint jobs on scrap bodies, so I didn't see that coming. I recently took a look at this build and decided there were things I could do to improve it. I polished the paint to a high gloss with 4000, 6000, 8,000 and 12,000 polishing pads and Novus 3, 2 and 1. The wheels and tires from the original AMT kit were cartoon-like, so I replaced them with disc brake calipers and the primo mag wheels from the 1963 Corvette Roadster snap kit. I added some Bare Metal Foil and repainted the tail light lenses with Stop Light red paint. This build is more to my liking now, and I had fun doing the update. Enjoy!
