48 ford Ragtop "FINISHED"

[scalemodelrestoration]

You know just some days we get in a hurry and really fowl things up! like me!!Ever have one of them days.........ACk!!!!!!!!! i should have let the red dry alittle longer before throwing some clear on it.....delima should i just leave it as is and make her alittle rough around the edges after all she is a 48 (LOL) Or should i try again and dip her in the lake for awhile.....problem is tho if i put her in the lake she will get boxed up for awhile...........I am thinking of slightly weathering her a tad around the edges.............
Here ya go! you tell me.....

I say rough it up. Make it like an older build. Something that is just about ready for a rebuild. Love the tires and wheels.

Weather it alittle or make it a "school auto shop" built 60's car. Paul

Well dont know,think it looks ok.........tried to do it as slight as i could...........to me its hard to slightly weather something like an everyday car........

Let me know what ya think..........i was able to save the body tho! after a re-squirt of color last night and this morning another coat of clear or two........changed the color slightly.......

It looks great MJ. Very nice detail with the slight rust. It gives it that driven look.
