3 B/GS '57 Wen Mac

Not as renown as Cox, yet still quite the engineering and modeling detail was exhibited by the Wen Mac corporation.

I'll portray a quick restoration process of the black '57 that has been waiting the process for approximately 8 years as informational steps.

One of the first processes was to lighten the interior from years of yellowing. This was accomplished via the Retro-Brite Process of hydrogen peroxide and sunlight:





Next was the decision to re-vacuum metalize the chrome as opposed to "spraying" the chrome on:





The detail captured within these models was quite well done as can be easily seen via the driver:



Decided to mildly customize the model for I grew up in the "chrome" age. Painted the steering wheel, driver and added a floor shifter.  For the purist, there changes can easily be reversed back:



Needed to add new black rear chassis clips which was quite the challenge especially when removing the old glued and broken clips:



So the end product was finally accomplished after sitting in a box for too many years. Hope some of these procedures help others here with their restoration projects.
