realgone58 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 This is a factory Augusta Green metallic promo by MPC that I've had since the early '80s. Back then, I had detailed it with the famous Testors silver paint.........not to great. So last week, I dug it out, cleaned off all the silver, and foiled it. I also painted and detailed the interior, buffed it out, and changed the wheels and tires to the Royal Monaco/New Yorker deluxe wheel covers found in the late '70's Dodge van kits. They fit nicely onto a set of old US Royal Master whitewalls. Fills the wheel wells up a bit better than the factory tires.
Danno Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Nice. But . . . (in my best "Harry voice") . . . needs mirrors!
Porscheman Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Very nicely done Alan. It's always hard for me to glue mirrors on promo's. BMF and wash are reversible, IMO!!!
MsDano85gt Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 mMMMmmm Salad..... very Green! sorry i'm hungry green made me think salad! lol
realgone58 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 I don't mind stickin' mirrors on, if I had 'em. See my ad in the wanted section.
