Modellpularn Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 This is something I started about 15 years ago, when the model came out the first time. The glass top is from AMT's old 65 Impala convertible. It fits almost perfect on the Caddy. Only had to file a notch on each side of the windshield. And why has it been sitting idle for so long you ask.... Maybe I wasn't really sure what to do with the hood. I had a spare that a friend gave me. At first I was thinking of using the rear part as a filler piece between the stock hood and windshield. Now I got some new ideas, and simply extended it. I think it turned out pretty good, if I may say so. It's glued shut, as this is more of a styling exercise than a superdetailed model. I plan to paint the body candy red, but not so sure about the top. A slight green tint, or what do you guys think? I might apply BMF as window borders, or...?
stanleymsn Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Can't wait to see it finish and those wheels set it off, I think candy red will look awsome and i hwould leave most of it clear so you can see tho interior with you can super detail.
Raul_Perez Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 That is a really cool piece of plastic, Hans! Unlike the '49 Merc that I just finished, you'll be able to see ALL of the interior detail in that one when it's finished!
Modellpularn Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) Thanks guys! I've done some puttying and sanding, but it needs some more, so I'll have my work cut out for me....... Now it's time to shift into overdrive if this thing is to be finished by Saturday 9th........ Then there's the Deuce roadster also....hmmm Edited February 3, 2008 by Modellpularn
