I've been wanting to replace/add a car I built a few years ago. I originally resin cast this body, but this time around I am using 2 old vac formed Lancer bodies from the 60's. One belongs to a friend and was new, but factory painted a crappy green. The other was mine and was on a built up car I got a few years ago. I went to work with an SOS pad and cleaned and scratched them up pretty good. Gave them a few coats of Testors lacquer on the outside. I had a sheet of decals from Lance Sellers ( a very gifted resin caster and Indy model kit provider). I copied them on Testors paper and applied them yesterday. Started driver painting last nite, still need a shot of dull coat to flatten the driver paint. Need to finish exhaust, roll bars and sponsor decals and these will be ready.

These two resin bodies have been projects for quite a while, a year or two! I will skip the Brawner Hawk now, but the Salih roadster will still get done. I did one as the Belond Exhaust Special a few years ago. It was a car I ran a lot and needs to be re-bodied, so I will get that one done. The body and decals do not really go together, but it looks close to the real Salih laydown car.
