pettiner Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 A combination rebuild with some new parts added. Gold base House of Kolor Candy apple red.
pettiner Posted September 4, 2007 Author Posted September 4, 2007 First update on the build. Painted top Vinyl black. Engine matching Color and got suspension and wheels on. A good portion of the engine built. The chrome was bad on the suspension pieces so I painted a chrome paint and cleared. Looks more like a stainless steel but thats ok by me.
pettiner Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 Mostly done. Need to put on Exhaust, Wind up Key and Radiator Cap. Taupe interior Decals from the Revell 49 merc for the gauges. Chrome foot gas pedal.
Steve H. Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 One of my favorite show rods! Your build is looking pretty good! I've got about 95% of all the parts to build one... I really should get that one on the bench!
Modellpularn Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Looks cool! Two projects at the same time, eh? I happen to have an unbuilt one..... and no, it's NOT for sale! Keep up the good work so far.
RodBurNeR Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 rare indeed, i want to get one too. can't wait to see yours done!
pettiner Posted September 7, 2007 Author Posted September 7, 2007 By the way this is House of Kolor Spray Spray Can paint. Used polishing pads on the paint. I like those little pads. Also if you look on the box cover the rear tires are not white walls. For some reason I do not know they put white walls in the kit. Must have had a bunch from some other kit to get rid of or the white walls were turned to the inside of the real car? Thanks and enjoy.
Chromecop Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Lookin awesome!!!! I'd really like to restore my UT soon...
