Gremlin Mockup 1

Here is the first mockup of this Gremlin that will soon be lime green. AMT's kit is a flawed annual kit that is a challenging build but worth the headache. The drag options are cool so I will have to build one all-out gasser with a second kit. Something about this stocker sitting on thin whitewalls is quite appealing though- Mr. Red Primer

Finally got most of the paint and nail polish off this botched Badwill find.

Many many coats of EzOfff took it down to almost bare purple styrene, revealing the first builder's expert putty work on the spoiler.

Nothing like a little gray primer to pull things together.

This one will look good next to my many other 1970 builds.

Any of you goofy basement dwellers have ideas about what color to paint this thing?

This car is from the era when you might drink beer in your car, not wearing a seatbelt and waiting for the eight track to fade back in with part two of the main song on the tape. Hand that feathered alligator clip back to Craig in the backseat, man......................

1970 CURBSIDE PROMOS

Some of you have an attitude about curbside kits, promo kits and snap kits. It is understandable. But while you were arguing about who put the mustard in the tuna that you neither purchased or prepared, I grabbed this second Chevelle SS and added some Cragar rims sitting on AMT thinline whitewall Firestones.

Actually these newer pressings of the old annual kit from nineteen and seventy are molded in garish colors but have endless potential to be primered and finished more completely at a later date. Nuts could eventually cut open doors, hood and trunk, add interior detail, engine, sound system, furry window treatments etc etc...

For a shady touch the window on the blue one was given a coat of flat black on the backside of the windshield.

This kit was another thrifty store find that was cheap and easy. The "twentys" rims and tires will be put up on eebai prolly...Mr Red Primer
