El Matador project

[vmaxdreamer]

Sorry I'm new here and posted this car to completed and it's not. The body is a R&R Resin with interior. I started this project five years ago. It was to be basically a slammer. I prepped the body and contracted with Bob Downie {Author of how to airbrush} to paint the car . I had some House of Kolor Candy Apple Red over a Gold base. The interior is Flat White. He did a remarkable job NO DUST!!!!!!!!It took forever to find US Royal Master tires and Chrome wheels with period correct spyders. I only work on it when inspired and when finished it will have a nice glass display case. This car along with Ed Roths "Outlaw" was at a car show in the sixties and when I saw them I was hooked forever.
Thanks for the compliments.

And with a couple of mouse clicks it's now been moved over to the bench .

Thanks for letting us know about the build, that is ojne of the better resin bodies around. I've seen a couple of them completed over the years and they turn out beautiful.

Wow! I finally got to see this here Matador. Forgive me for thinkin it was an AMC for the longest time ;D. That paint is spectacular! and just love them chrome steelies . The custom body takes me back about 40-45 years ago when I got my first magazine on model cars. Can't remember if'n it was 'Auto World' or what, but there were lots of cars with the extensive body work like on the Matador. All the pics from shows with row upon row of cars like this sure fried my young brain.......I think ;D

Great work so far, V. Take your time-- but hurry up!

Later and God bless
