1955 Grumpy's Toy Pro Mod Chevy

[70sprostockfan]

Built from the old Revell Charles Carpenter 55 top sportsman kit. Built out of the box except for plug wires. I detail painted and slightly weathered as much as possible and used aftermarket decals to detail where appropriate. The paint is white automotive paint over a buff 2k primer with just a little bit of white pearl mixed in. It's really hard to catch the pearl in photos. The red stripes are painted '13 ford racing red (the same color as my truck). This has been polished out and waxed. The interior is a charcoal metallic with red chassis and roll cage. Most of the chrome was stripped and replaced with metallic finishes. The wheels were sprayed with a light coat of Testor's dullcoat. the wheelie bar tires were painted black and the surface was rubbed with a white pencil to simulate the chalk they use to mark the track when they hit. I included a small "remove before flight" tag on the parachute just for fun.

Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy. Another one for the shelf!
