This is my version of Bill Cushenberrys "El Matador"
I first saw this car when a teen ager and never forgot it. Just have to buy a small paint brush today and paint candy red on the chrome wheels. I have had this resin model for 5 years and it's just about complete. The tires are U.S.Royal Masters, probably can't even find them any more. Paint is House of Kolor Candy Red over Gold base. with Tamiya Clear.

Very nice Chip!

Nice to look at, and nice to remember the kustoms like this that I saw as a young'un.
Every time I see one like this, I'm tempted to do something
similar. There's just something about sanding all that putty
soooooo smooth and then seeing the kandy shine!

Thanks for sharing, and the memories

Later and God bless

Proverbs 3:5-8

Trust in The LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways, acknowledge HIM, and HE will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes, fear The LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

You really did that one justice. I never saw the real deal, but that looks great. Dave
