This was another '61 Starliner commision build, for the same guy I built the black one for last year.....yes, he has TWO fully restored '61 Starliners!
This is built using the new Bandit Resins body, with all the chrome from the re-released '61 hardtop kit. Engine/chassis is from a '63 Galaxie. The baby shoes hanging from the mirror are a 1/48 scale helicopter pilot's feet that I sawed off......man, thats GOTTA hurt.
Paint is spray can Valspar Real Red, which is a match for the real car.

Makes me remember the one's I use to service when they where new in 61. Like the baby feet and hope the pilot didn't scream tooo much.
