Something I might actually finish....
Well, if you can't get the big one fixed, try rebuilding a smaller one!
This is the begining of a new project. I'm refinishing a Highway 61 `68 Barracuda to represent what mine will look like. I'm starting with the white Formula S version, which has the steel wheels and dog dish hub caps like my car. I'll strip it to bare metal, prime it, and shoot it with L1 turquoise. I also have a 340 6 Bbl. to stuff in it thanks to Gregs340! This might help keep me grounded while I wait for my crank to return from the machine shop.
This thing comes apart almost exactly like the real thing. Every piece of trim is either chromed plastic, or photo-etched metal. I removed all the trim and have it stored.
These die casts are well made with sturdy construction. Nothing at all was flimsy or cheesey....And the paint is almost flawless. It's a shame to strip it off.....
What I would give to have a garage full of 1:1 fenders like this.... I could retire early. I'll post more pictures as work progresses. Watch this thread from time to time!
