|
|
Details are the same on all 4: Jimmy Flintstone body and interior, 1964 Craftsman Galaxie chassis and dash, 1963 Galaxie Roll bar and seat belt. My own resin rims on old Monogram Nascar slicks. The 26 is a PPP sheet, the 28 is a mix of my own decals and left-over bits from the Amt Lorenzen kit, both 66’s are my decals. Glass is clear acetate I trimmed out.

Great work, Gary! You certainly did justice to these vintage builds. Since you built multiples using this resin body, I assume you were very happy with the quality of the product. Any challenges for another builder to be aware of? Who did you purchase from?
Thanks! |

I got them directly from Jimmy Flintstone. Keep in mind, SMH offers a 1962 body that doesn't have molded in chrome, I chose this one because it came with an interior. I had minimum clean up and I was pleased overall with the bodies. Making the glass is a pain, but I think the Amt 1961 Ford glass would fit right in and the chassis would be a drop in too. I used the 1964 chassis as I had some of those handy. If I was going to do it again, I would use the Amt '61 as a donor. |

Did you think of using PPP decals on the Larry Frank cars?

No, I printed them myself, I know they are not 100 percent accurate. |
