I built this ( body and some interior only ) from AMTs 58 Impala. A friend of mine is really into the barn find/rust bucket look. So, here she is,....painted Krylon Celery over red oxide primer with the salt and rubber cement technique. And, also used various weathering powders. Also, I added a "mint" door on the passenger side, and broke headlight, cracked another, and mounted one at a angle. Its sitting on a chassis just for the pics. He wanted weathered, he got weathered. This will be used for slot car drag racing.

Very nice, one glaring mistake, far too clean wheels and tires.

Thanks, everyone. And, as for the wheels and tires its only a mockup for the pics. Besides, following the current rat rod/patina trend new wheels and tires on a rusty car, its kinda accurate nowdays.

The heartbreaking part was, this was the best baremetal job I ever did. And I end up having to dullcoat it all. I did a quick interior up too, but I'm not sure of how much of it he will use, once depending on what the clearances are for the slot chassis.

Yea I seen those cut marks a quick scuff and a dab of rust powder, and she's all good. Plus since its gonna be raced its gonna get track glue all over it. Lol. But, thanks and, good eyes.
