Drag On Lady 1969 AMX

[41chevy]

Was a rebuild of a model I build GASP!! 50 years ago!
I stripped the chrome to paint the bumpers, added AMT Blue Stripe slicks and a set of vintage AMT Red Striped tires. Added the roll bar from the Revell 1969 Nova. The engine was just wired up. Had a massive adventure with the decals. Three kit sets, a Slixx set and two failed printed sets (one laser and one Alps) Ended up using clear decal film over the Drag on Lady name, letting them dry and than doing the normal water thing to put on the car. They came out so so IMO. Also did a stock hood for stealth. Paul

I think you did a nice job on this re-build.

Nicely done. Sorry to read about your troubles with the decals. Looks OK now.

Well first set was 51 years old, Slixx were new but shattered, no explanation for the printers both having issues so last resort I put clear decal on the second 50 year old sheet and it worked. Was frustrating to all he!! though.

Yeah, it probably was.

Sorry to hear about your issues with the cals Paul. I was surprised to read that the Slixx decals didn't work out. I've had nothing but good luck out of those. Despite your troubles this came out very well. Good turn out buddy!!!
