Robberbaron Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Shaping up to be one slick Buford there! Amazing what great lines these cars had from the factory. This is some of the cleanest body work I've seen - can't wait to see the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hmmm...I may try Al-Clad for Kitty I's brightwork. I didn't think it would work that well on big pieces like that. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 When I first saw your raw material my minds eye saw replacing the top with a '59 El Camino roof and bed with a matching Triumph Bobber in the bed. Must be looking at too many Weesner prints. With that said, I like the direction you took with it, silk purse out of a sow's ear so to speak. Some of those "Barges" from the late 50's early 60's really respond well to some mild trim changes and cleaning up. The paint is reminiscent of the "Jade Idol" in Gold, hey maybe "Gold Finger"!! (Ha, Ha!). Those wheels and white walls fit right in with your clean up theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
