1320wayne Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I went ahead and cut the front end away from the body and then retaped it in place for painting. At this point the white base coat is in place and ready for masking and orange to be added next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybill1960 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 SWEET DUDE ! ! Great choice, looks to be a killer build! The graphics look to be just as wild too! Thank You for sharing Later Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Aye....I see another winner about to bolt from the stable Wayne. As the other guys pointed out, you did good hiding those humongous front wheel openings, great work.. And I do like the sound of this outdoors theme you have coming....Keep at it mate.

1320wayne Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 O.K., so this one is moving right along with the color. The orange has been applied. It is a neon orange lacquer from MCW so it dried very flat. No worries as the clear coat will take care of that. I just applied the color this morning and it is almost dry to the point where I may even start applying some graphices this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Wayne, This is beautiful! As always you do great work. Have you decided on how you are going to do the chassis yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Twister Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 That is going to be a vibrant paint scheme...Anxious to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericj Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Wayne, This is a killer build, cant wait to see it when you get the graphics on. One question, where do you get your wheels and tires from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Wayne, This is beautiful! As always you do great work. Have you decided on how you are going to do the chassis yet? Scratchbuilt tube chassis. I started the basic farmerails this morning. I will have more on the chassis to show by this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question, where do you get your wheels and tires from? The tires and wheels you see here will not be on the finished product. These are simply what I pulled from the parts box for the purpose of mockup. The fronts you see here are from a RC diecast funny car. The rears are the tires from the same diecast with JPS wheels inserted. The wheels that will be used for this build will be Pro Track machined aluminum slot car wheels.

Mooneyzs Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Wayne... Great work on the paint. It sure is looking great can't wait to see the decals and clear on this bad boy.

1320wayne Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well, here is the start of the decaling process. So far I'm happy with the layout but I still don't know where everything is going to go until I get to that section. Playing with homemade decals is a bit of a challenge as your not always sure how an image will look once it's in place. For instance, the "next generation Bass Pro Shop" decal was done on clear film and my thoughts were that I could simply double-up the decal to get the right look but unfortunately the camo graphics still had too much bleedthrough. So, I had to print a second sheet on white decal film and then trim another image as close to the edge as possible and then lay that over what was already there. Much better except for the white film showing through in the text at the bottom. That was unavoidable. More to come by the end of the weekend. And the last picture is the beginning of the chassis.

eviltwincustoms Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Looks great from here, even with the white showing through, since part of the body is painted in white. Oh and I purchased the Other Forums Magazine today with your 70.5 Pro Mod Camaro build in it...!!! Nice to see your work being published on paper as well.
