61 Galaxie

[Modlbldr]

Just finished the rebuild of this Galaxie.(my third finish in 4 days)

I got it as a built up racecar that looked pretty good but I wanted a custom build. Painted with a couple different nail polishes and microflakes in the clearcoats. The wheels are made from pieces of a deodorant canister and donated poverty caps.

I also made the tiny clear tops for the fender ornaments (that was fun!).

Hope you like it.

I was kind of on the fence bout the color of the body until I sprayed the clear mixed with the microflakes. They gave it a bit of a greenish gold sparkle in the sun.

Looks great, especially considering what you started with. Like the color combinations along with the stance.
