I picked this up on e-bay last week a little cleanup new set of tires and brushes runs like a champ had to share it so here is some before and after pictures.

Before




After

Outstanding find and work sir, what a nice ride.

Great find and great refurb job...looks like new! What method did you use removing the decals?
Thanks,
Tom Baker

Yeah, what they said! I assume that you used a fine polish like Novus on the finished body, but how did you get those old decals off? Great job.

Well done! Looks like a brand new one now. Fun to run those old slots too!

Very clean car, how does it run on the track

Opps, , , , sorry , I did read that you said it runs like a champ, missed that first go around

Cleaning and removing the decals was really easy I think the decals on there were from a model airplane but anyway I just reversed the application so to speak I soaked the body in warm soapy water and it came out CLEAN! only bad part it soaked the American flags off the doors so I will replace them. For polish I used Turtle Wax Polishing compound very fine plastic polish like novus works like a charm on polishing colored plastic bodies. The motor was pretty sticky and sluggish when I got it so I pull the rear axle out and let the motor run in Gunk Citrus Engine De-greaser for a few minutes then rubbing alcohol to rinse it clean a new set of tires from Smilin Rays and it runs like a champ!

Well I have to say again, well done sir.

Nice job!!

Nice refurbishment.

What scale?

Dan

Very clean rebuild. Nice job! It looks like it could have just come out of a factory box. :)

It's 1/32 Scale it really is clean there is one small scratch that runs through the black stripes on the roof and the front bumper has a little wear but for the age I'm very happy with it have to find some more of them for some match racing!

That turned out GREAT!

Yeah, that's the way it's done, Fitzy. Nice Aurora FORD.
