'59 Buick I hope!

Ebay buy. I took a punt that I can remove the thick blue paint. Hopefully there's a Buick under the transfers and paint. I'll have to scratch build a windscreen frame and rear bumper.
I'll going to try freezing the body to remove the rear skirts.
Watch this space. It's in the stripping pond as I type.

Best of luck mate, you must have more than just the bodyshell?
I remember stripping paint from a car with decals, the paint came off everywhere except from under the decals.
If this happens, just soak off the decals in warm soapy water. They will eventually come off, then just put it back in the brake fluid.

Yes, gents, its nearly all there. I'm not sure if it's an Electra, lets see what lurks under the paint. We'll know later today.
