A Racing Champion '39 Chevy Delivery Hot Rod.
From this.....
To this.....
I removed the white on rear fenders. Then sent the body out for the flat black paint job.
Had filed door handles off prior to paint job.
Then put on new taillights and the rubber rear fender guards on front of rear fenders like these older trucks had.
Added waterslide B F Goodrich white letters to tires. Painted up the engine a little.

thats a remarkable job Hollis, just filing off the door handles so smoothly is impressive. The adding waterslide B F Goodrich white letters to tires has me intrigued, how did u do that? I'm having so much trouble just attaching decals to curved surfaces on my plastic kits.

A guy makes these and sells them on Ebay. I just cut the excess off then use the water to wet them down. Then slide them on to the tire. Had no kind of problem at all. Glad you guys like them. As well as the car.
