Lindberg 1/8 scale Big Red Rod

[cobraman]

Finished up today . Strange working on something where the engine is almost as large as the models you normally build.  As you all probably know the kit does NOT have any chrome parts. I would have stripped most of them anyway so no big deal . Paint used was Tamiya Metallic Orange . Clear was Duplicolor 1K . Mostly built from box . Cut the windshield frame down and used only one glass panel . Had to replace some of the wires with stuff I had . They supply hose for the plug wires and it was trash . Added resin 59 Caddy tail lights . Left off the supplied lantern lights . All in all it’s not really that bad of an old kit . In the WIP a member mentioned Amazon has some , 6 I think for 60 bucks with free shipping ! Good deal . If I had more room I think I would pick up another . Still may . This one turned out pretty good I think . I see I still have a few tough ups I could do . Thanks for looking !

WOW!!!!  You have skills sir. Big scale is very different than smaller scales. Came out great! Great job on a very big kit.

I love how this turned out, very nice. I see you used the stand bases as hub caps, I did the same on mine, it looks like they were made for the job. 
I hope you decide to build more of these, they really are a fun kit and you did a great job.

Thank you Jim and Scott. Scott, I stole that idea from you ! I could have done a better job at filling the center holes.

I almost forgot about this one Ray. You did a stellar job. Love how the colors came together, especially the seat inserts.

Really Nice Work, Ray.  I'm tempted to pick up one of these kits but I don't have enough room to display it!
