ONE OF THREE RESTOS I DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO FINISH THAT SURPRISED ME WITH HOW GOOD THEY WERE. ALL THREE ARE LISTED TODAY BEFORE OUR FALL HIATUS STARTS. SEE YA IN JANUARY OR AT FB GROUP OLHALF'S GARAGE. THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS 59 PONTIAC WAS A BAD FRONT FENDER AND ROCKER PANEL.
THE DETAILS AND FINISH OTHERWISE WAS LIKE NEW. I FOUND 4 GOOD ORIGINAL HUBCAPS (WHICH NEVER HAPPENS ON A 59 PONTIAC).
ALSO THREW IN THE MOONS THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. THERES STREAMLINED TWIN MIRRORS THAT (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) LOOK GREAT WITH THE PROVIDED SPOTS. I HAD TO STRIP AND CHROME PAINT THE FRONT GRILLE/BUMPER. THE REAR BUMPER HAS TWO SMALL GLUE SPOTS FROM A CONNIE KIT BUT BRIGHT CHROME OTHERWISE. THERE WERE NO FR FENDER ORNAMENTS SO I SEARCHED MY PARTS DEPARTMENT AND FOUND SOME PERFECT FIT ONES FROM A 58 CHEVY, THEY LOOK GREAT (SEE PHOTOS) AND FIT PERFECT.
YA CAN'T GO WRONG HERE NO MATTER THE PRICE. I CAREFULLY DISASSEMBLE , STRIP THE PAINT (when its needed) AND DECALS, AND REMOVE ALL CUSTOM GLUED ON PARTS. SOME ARE ROUGHER CONDITION WISE THAN OTHERS BUT I TRY TO MAKE THEM ALL EQUAL BY USING PLASTIC WELDING TECHNIQUES WITH LITTLE TO NO PUTTY, EVEN MAKING NEW PARTS WHEN NEEDED. IF THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF BODY WORK TO DO I NEED TO USE PRIMER TO ASSURE THAT IT IS WELL FINISHED.
I USE AN IVORY PRIMER THAT CLOSELY MATCHES THE COLOR OF THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC WHEN NEW SO IT CAN BE BUILT IN THAT COLOR IF YOU AREN'T INTO PAINTING; JUST COLLECTING. I MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO DO THE VERY BEST ON EVERY MODEL AND IF YOU AREN'T HAPPY JUST LET ME KNOW AND WE WILL TRY TO FIX THAT TOO. WHAT I STRIVE FOR IS A RESTORED MODEL KIT THAT YOU CAN DISPLAY AS IS OR WET SAND, PREPARE AND PAINT INTO A FINE BUILD. I TRY TO POINT OUT FLAWS THAT I CANNOT REPAIR SUCH AS EMBLEMS THAN HAVE BEEN SANDED OFF AND THEN I. TAKE THE BEST PHOTOS I CAN SO YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF. I SELL MY DEBUILT AND RESTORED MODELS IN KIT FORM.YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO SOME SANDING YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE EXTREMELY HIGH STANDARDS. I DO HAVE SOME OF THE ACCESSORIES THAT CAME WITH THESE OLD ANNUALS BUT THEY ARE SCARCE IN GOOD SHAPE.
JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND I WILL TRY TO HELP. THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL GET A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS KIT IS TO PAY FOR ONE THAT WAS NEVER OPENED!
