junkyardjeff Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 It's one from the collection I picked up,using a chassis from a 58 Edsel and found the stock rear bumper in the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardjeff Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 It's getting a partial engine, since the hood does not open the top does not need to be complete. This 60 is getting a Y block and a 3 speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Your details look good. What brand of paint do you use on your builds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 What ever I can get at the department stores,that frame came painted that way and was from a 58 Edsel that came completely painted and just needed assembled. Small parts get Testors brush paints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardjeff Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 It's starting to look like something now,going to do a little detailing and then it's done until I can find glass that fits. I would like to strip the paint but this type of plastic likes to warp so I am going to leave it alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) It looks like the front of the roof was chopped, so you might need to make the windshield out of "vacuum-formed" plastic sheeting, along with a hair dryer, to get the proper shape. You might get lucky and find the correct windshield on Ebay, and then will have to carefully cut it down to the proper height.

junkyardjeff Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 I can see where the top has been chopped on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardjeff Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Only the interior and bumpers will be original,who ever built it and most of the others in the collection had a thing for chopped tops which turned those bodies into just parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 At least you will have a good source of parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
