impcon Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 The Sceptre had stainless rocker moldings and skirts and really was a pretty car. It was the equivalent to the Park Lane infact - top of the live. I also had a Lucerne 4 door hardtop about the same time - red with a white roof, red and black interior, 383, dual range automatic. Man, those cars were so smooth and comfortable and would cruise effortlessly at high highway speeds all day long and never breathe hard. I never knew what I had back then and sold both cars for next to nothing when I got ridof them. I still have the wheel covers from the Sceptre. Cars we shoulda kept, eh? Those hardtops look soooooooo nice in white... *sighs*
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 Oh well Gary, we can't keep 'em all. That's why we build models......so we can!! Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) My first "real" attempt with Alclad. I think I love the stuff!! I had "dabbled" half heartedly with it in the past, but this time I thought I'd try to do it right & I was amazed at how nice it looks. Don't think I'd be comfortable with doing bumpers & the like, but it worked great for these small parts. Now I'm thinking about ordering a bunch of different colors for engine bay detailing & bright work panels on bodies. Something makes me think some aluminum Alclad on the rear quarter panel bright work of a '57 Chevy would be amazing! Steve Edited June 18, 2014 by StevenGuthmiller
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Finished up the interior for the '60 Merc tonight. Was having a hard time finding good lighting for pics, so they're not great, but here they are just the same. Steve Edited June 18, 2014 by StevenGuthmiller
