Chuck,

Wow, really cool ! I've never seen a completed build of this kit. Super job on all the chrome, what did you use ?

Thanks Pete
I used an old AMT '57 Chevy metal axle "Lemon Peeler" built-up

Hosted on Fotki

had to Dremel out the windshield, rear window and interior bucket
got another new a new windshield and rear window

tinted the windows with Tamiya transparent Blue Spray
had to do some plastic surgery by adding a "blow-out" patch where the interior bucket was glued to the rear body
Got my hands on an old Chrome Tree also from the same kit
Painted the body in yellow lacquer
gave it a Tamiya Pearl Clear-Coat
Bare Metal Foil

Chuck,

It's pretty cool that you shot pearl over the yellow like the old kit might have been built !!! Great job on the foil as well.

It reminds me of the old Popular Hot Rodding's Project X.
