Wendell Scott '62 Galaxie

[Scottnkat]

This is my version of Wendell Scott's '62 Chevy. When I started this, I had plans to do a few more things, but then I broke my wrist. I can't stand to leave something unfinished, so I did the best I could with the one hand. I removed the body trim and wipers and cut out the back panel for the fuel filler. I scratch built the seat bolsters, interior walls, dash inserts, and rollcage. I used athletic tape on the floor to simulate the floor pad, then used crepe tape to wrap the steering wheel and rollcage for the padding. I made the hood pins out of needles, wire, and sequins. Finally, I made the decals myself.

Nice build but it is a Chevy and not a Galaxie!

[cobraman]

Ya, where's the Ford ?

[Scottnkat]

Oh, BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! I just noticed that I wrote Galaxie instead of Chevy. Yeah, I'm a nunkhead. Alright, for you Ford fans, here's a couple of Wendell's Fords
