Chuck Most Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 The idea here was a car that was done up as a mild custom years ago, mothballed, then dragged out and treated to a mechanical refurbishing and an interior refit- just enough to get it road-worthy before a repaint. I did polish it in spots to burn off the dark grey primer and expose the 'original' green paint beneath- I'm sure Crazy Jim will notice this one's shiny it at least a few spots. The chrome has also been 'refinished'. I left some debris in the paint on the stone guards, though, in an attempt to make it look like lightly pitted pot metal. The model has the chopped body from Morgan Automotive Detail, a Revell Cadillac three-two manifold (from the '49 Merc) as well as that kit's side pipes, Orange Crate valve covers, and the replacement printed wide whitewalls from Revell. All glass was cut from .010" styrene.
bbowser Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Truly a "survivor" car. Great job of weathering, very convincing.
crazyjim Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Gorgeous build, Chuck. I can't wait until it's finished in all SHINY :)
Gramps2u Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Nifty 50! Used but not abused. A spit shine and she looks great.
realgone58 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Very nicely done! Love the green paint shining through.
