surfjunke Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 This car raced in the IMSA/GTU class. This started as an older Meri white metal kit from that time. I rebuilt the interior. The seat & fire bottle came from my parts bin. The harness is wine bottle foil ( the etched fittings were added after paint). The white parts are from Evergreen plastic. Added rain gutters & rebuilt the window moldings to the body. Reshaped the front wheel wells a well. I also rescribed the panel lines, they were very shallow & a couple were missing. The wheels are an old set from Robustelli. Paint is Tamiya acrylics. The yellow area on the rear fender/ door is paint. The decals in that area did not look good. Cleared the car with Dupont Chroma Clear.
Draggon Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 That is a great job, particularly considering its so small.
IMSANUT Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Very nice. Pretty car, though I don't remember seeing it at Road America of Mid Ohio. Still, any IMSA car is great by me!!
surfjunke Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 Thank you everyone. Jim, I have never heard of or seen this car before, either. It was sent to me by a client. I do like the graphics & the fact that is was a very early Allen Johnson car.
