Looks great Trey. I'm sure my mum had some curtains (that might be drapes over there!) like your seat covers when I was little!

Cheers

Tony thanks ,glad to see you fellas across the pond know about cherry bombs did'nt realize you could get 'em over there!

Thanks Steve, we call 'em curtains too, funny what we put up over the windows back in the day aint it? I remember my Mom going with some crazy stuff back in the 70's lol.

Ian thanks!

I had an epic paint failure and had to strip it down and start over. That being said I'm just going with a candy over gold and moving on.

Dude , that is bitchin! (is that how they used to talk in california in the 60's!!!!?) OR excellent work old boy! I just love a nice candy apple paint job trey, are you going to whitewall the tyres or leave them as black? It would look amazing if you could get something to look like Moon discs on the wheels too! This thread is seriously making me want a car model !!! cheers tony

[homechild]

That paint job is awesome!

Is that just a thin coat of red over a coat of gold?

Surely it can't be that simple.

Looking forward to seeing the completed model now!

Well that's certainly a change for you Trey. looks like it's going to be an interesting build. Keep the photos coming.

Tony thanks ,yea 'bitch'n' is the correct lingo ! No whitewalls on this one but do have some 'baby moons' to put on it. Hope you pull the trigger on a car build would really dig seeing what you would do with it.

Drew thanks a bunch and yep it really is that simple! The trick is getting even coverage without tiger striping it.

Vaughan appreciate that, yea I gotta change subjects from time to time so I do'nt get burned out!

I did get some progress done in spite of having to work ! The dash I kept simple and used some Formula 500 Canopy glue for the gauge lens

I scratched a Hood scoop

Finished the hub caps with MM metalizer stainless then buffed it a bit for a dull beach worn shine

Wrapped up the interior with some dry brushing over the 'wood' grain to give it a little depth

Then a series of dry brushing and pastels to weather the running gear

[Vaughan]

Looking good Trey love the chassis weathering.

Looking fantastic Trey. I love the paint job. Simple but VERY effective. I might have to try that one day.

Thanks Fellas,I'm closing in on it for sure,finished weathering and got the basic assembly complete

windows masked sprayed and inked

while waiting for some paint to dry I scratched up a longboard

Widows and interior in so all the sub assemblies finally come together!

That engine looks great trey, nice work on the frenched headlights too, neat touch! Im definitely going to look out for a car kit when i go to cosford this year, your build has inspired me to do a kustom! cheers tony

[Guest]

Thanks Tony, glad to hear you'll be doing a 'cage' soon! Frenched the front turn signals and getting the wood grain decals on
