This is an old promo that I have had collecting dust for over ten years. The roof was only held on by the driver's side A pillar and the chrome was very worn. I figured it didn't have much value in that condition, so I am rebuilding it.
The A pillars were broken and missing. I made new ones and glued/puttied them in place. When I cleaned up photobucket, I deleted the pics. I will have to try and find them to re-post.
Shot some primer, sanded, then got a color coat on. It is a dark maroon. The bright red is under an indoor light and not accurate.
Glued in the glass and interior, started on the foil. Making good progress.
Well, it is done. It was a fun rebuild, but none of the parts fit very well. There were a lot of adjustments.
The paint is a semi-gloss. Since it is new, I want to let it cure for a couple of more weeks before I wax it. I was just in a hurry to take the pics since I had a nice sunny day.
