ratdoggy Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) I guess you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. That's beautiful James. I always thought all the '59 GM cars were great looking BTW James you live close to me. Edited April 17, 2014 by ratdoggy
John Goschke Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Beautiful job on this restoration! Love the Winfield-style paint too!
mrm Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Awesome paint. I think it suits the the model perfectly.
James2 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks again for the kind words and interest in this project...
am73grand Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Nice paint work. Looking forward to seeing it finished!
James2 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Posted April 22, 2014 Major/miner set back while doing the BMF last night! You know when you are holding the body in one hand, tweezers in the other hand and a knife in the other hand and the BMF with your other hand? Suddenly you realize you only have two hands and the body slides from your delicate grasp and tries to penetrate the floor? Well I have learned somethings from this. 1. Dumbell, you only have two hands. 2. I don't loose my temper as easily as I once did. 3. Plastic will crack and bounce at the same time. 4. Paint does crack. 5. And I hope to learn how to fix custom paint without striping the body!
Ramfins59 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Oh man... Sorry to hear that bad news! I know the feeling unfortunately.
James2 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 Making due, repair and BMF in progress. Interior lighting does no justice to the shading in this paint.
charlie8575 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Still looks good to me, James. Grab some outdoor photos when you get a chance. I'll look forward to seeing those. Charlie Larkin
John Goschke Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Glad the mishap didn't stop you! Looks beautiful!
James2 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks again guys, at least we're still having fun.
ratdoggy Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Are you bringing it next Thursday? Love to see it up close.
59 Impala Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 This is one beautiful 59 Buick fer sure. I love the color. Dan
