    Thanks, Sauli. The roof is AMC Sterling Silver metalic. I used the same silver as a base coat on the body and then covered it with Sally Hansen nail polish cut with lacquer thinner. The color is called Hard to Get. It would take alot of them little glass bottles to shoot a full size custom.

    regards

  5. Thanks. I have the Tudor, but I did not know they also had the coupe. The Tudor front suspension is very flimsy it seems. I will beef it up if I can.

    Great turn out guys. Lots of real good models in here this week.

    @ABC123 those 1/87's were real nice man. Great job on them.

    Heres a 1/87 scale 66 caddy wagon I just got done with.

    Since retiring I can no longer afford to build 1:1 cars, so have initated a 1:8 duece scratch build in metal, so I can continue to get my fabrication fix in an affordable manner.
    I'm researching using aluminum vs brass to build with, due to the large amounts of scrap alum that can be had for cheap/free, vs the cost of brass.

    Here's a few shots of the project at this point.
    I built 2 piece assembly fixtures for soldering the frame rails.

    P.S., what's the secret to getting the pics to load in the larger format?
