'30 Ford, Vince LoBosco and Rick Hanmore (not pictured).

Before

After

When received this model was filthy and in dire need of a full cleaning and lots of  work.
Repairs: The driver side A pillar and door posts were broken in half.  Consequently , this hinged door did not operate correctly. This was corrected and the  paint touched up with a brew of Model Master paints. One headlight was detached from  the light bar and was re-attached. New windows were fashioned and installed. A new  radiator hose was fabricated. New wiring was necessary. The front bumper brackets were  repaired. Both the front seats and driver side door were reflocked. Many pieces were  treated to partial or complete coverings of bare metal foil 3 of 4 hubcaps, firewall, rear  bumper and the headlight edges.

Paint: Many chips in the body and a section of the driver  side door were touched up with a mix of Model Master Stoplight Red Metallic and black  paints. The underside was painted a mix of paints to match the color Dave had painted the  underside originally. Yes, he painted over the wires originally as well. The front bumper  bracket and rear bracket area were touched up as well. The interior's paint was untouched  except for small parts of the steering wheel rim. The battery was completely repainted.  When touched, the whitewalls came off the tires in one piece (one sent with model) so  they were repainted. The pinstripes were duplicated and installed in the same misaligned  manor as the originals.

Parts Replaced: Radiator hose, windows, pinstripes and wiring.

Comments: The plug for the battery pack is located near the transmission. There appears  to have been something placed at the rear of the car on top of the bumper brackets. No  photo exists of the back of the car -- there is some suggestion that some accessory was  once mounted there, but there is no available research on this subject.
