Chuck Most Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 This was mostly thrown together box stock, other than the addition of big and little tires and Cragar wheels from the Monogram '37 Ford coupe, a parts box side view mirror (Revell '64 Impala, maybe?) and aluminum tube exhaust tips.

espo Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Nice clean looking Day 2 model. These were far better cars than most people realize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Nice! Bare Metal foil used? I knew someone with one of these, but a hardtop. Took him down to the Maricopa junkyard south of Phoenix because he needed brake drums, none around. Funny how cars have memories for you.

OldTrucker Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I remember a few of these around here back when I was in grade school thru Jr high! Mostly from the local college campus! I always liked the little Studes and this one is exceptional! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bare Metal foil was used on the scripts- I applied it to the raw plastic then knocked off the primer and paint rather than try to foil each individual letter.

As far as I know it hasn't been reissued since the '80's but they're still out there. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
