more mold seams
the chassis & interior
boot & misc
wheels etc
glass
sink marks in the hood !
those ugly mold seams !!
not the greatest fit in the world
a little spacer to line it up better
glued on...
fill those sink marks
and those gouges
fill the gaps
...
sand the sink marks
...
....
now it's a hardtop!
that mold seam on this side is gonna be a problem
still need more work here
those are near gone
seams look ok
top looks good
chassis in basic black
interior in basic black
dash etc
wheels
a little more sanding needed
.....
still needs a tiny bit more
detail up the chassis a bit
put on a clear coat
body looks pretty good
At this point I wrapped the body in tissue ......
....
.....and let it set for a few months
....As I had never airbrushed trim I wanted to give it a try. Quite a bit of time to do the masking.
I think it was vallejo Silver I used
first time using 2mm flexible vinyl tape
and it turned out pretty well

Album info
I remember someone we knew when I was a kid had one of these and there were a few around when I was growing up. I had a 63 that I never drove, but it was a beautiful car. I think I paid $10 for it, towed it home, and never could get it running!
I recently found a 63 on ebay, but paid dearly for it even w/missing taillights! A fairly rare kit, but I think I've found some substitute taillights for it.
I kept this one anyway 'cause it's a cool car and I need practice painting.
