56 Plymouth Mod
Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2018 12:38 pmDug out one of those $10 slosh castings I found on the "Bay" with the intention of building a "Showdown" sportsman.
Figured a '56 Plymouth sportsman would be a little different.
But as we all know by now the quality isn't very good on these & I couldn't Dremel up a decent sportsman body.
Nothing left to do but cut up the usable pieces & build another vintage mod. :D
Sectioned & moved the roof back onto a lowered/modified deck lid, cut the side panels/doors back & built a new styrene firewall/cowl/hood.
parted out another shelf queen for the chassis & with a few modifications & additions here & there,
it became a decent platform for a mod.
3/64 brass rod, Piranha motor, Cox gears, Jet guide, Big Mama braid, Pro-Track wheels, PG rear & home cast front urethane tires.
Ace Hardware white primer & gloss enamel, home-printed decals with 2 coats floor wax.
I now have to pick one mod from the last three to enter in the "Showdown" :think: :think:
