@JDFonz posted:So I know another contributor was looking to have a junker on the side of the road, or maybe in a field. So that gave me an idea to try something different. I don’t know if I’m going to leave it this way, or go ahead and strip and restore it. I bought a Corgi Ford Consul, and of course it was all beat up.. so instead of stripping I painted rust on all the chips to really make it a beater. Let me know what you think, leave it as is, or go ahead and fix it up now. Tom, this one is for you! Before and after.....
That's a tough decision to make. I really like the looks of the rust'.. It would be perfect for Tom's requirements. Only problem is the cost of that Corgi begs for a restore'.. Perhaps another specimen would be appropriate for a rust out'... There are many rusted cars... But none are Corgi's or Dinky's... That I've seen. 1949 Ford's Seafoam Green, coming up. If I can ever get outside to use the stripper, and spray paints'... (rain) & rain...
Beaten and rusted and touched up 55 Chevy, first Car for this youngster'....😀
These sell on Diecast-Direct's big sale for $5.50. They have 57 Fords as well'..
