That kind of looks like the car from the Car movie.

RZ, that's because it is! LOL
Is that the 1/18 die-cast, or resin piece?

Yep, that's it!

It's a 1/25 resin kit by Planet X, now discontinued as far as I can tell. I picked it up a couple of years ago, but didn't get to it until this summer.

You did a great job on it. That is one of those movies I remember watching several years ago.

Any chance you could give us more details? What did you use for paint, cause it looks really slick. Was there photo-etch included? What about the bumpers? they look metal or are they plastic that's been heated and bent?

I really like it. You did an outstanding job on it.

Thanks, guys!

The kit came with chromed metal bumpers, metal wheels, and a PE grille - so I didn't do anything to those parts except for a little cleanup and polishing. The onlt chrome bits I added were the headlight bezels and window trim. The paint is Model Master Gloss Black under 2 layers of Model Master Ultra Gloss, wet sanded and polished with Novus 321. I also amber tinted the windows with food coloring mixed with Future, but the tint doesn't really show up in the photos (it's actually not too obvious in person, either - it only shows at certain angles).

excellent! Wonder if Chrysler's current design team borrowed The Car for their cars. I see some resemblance.

Nice pictures too!

Man, just thinking of the horn, in the movie, gives me the creeps. Great job on the kit! I want one!
