brett Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 as some of you may know from an under glass post a few weeks back I've taken to building some of the cars from cars( the movie)The sheriff is done and Docs almost finished. Alcladed the modified front bumper( one of my bet Alclad jobs at that, picked it up with a piece of soft cotton cloth only to find the black underneath was still quite tacky ) so its been stripped and I'll re-paint this weekend. so after my set back with Doc yesterday I decided to start on mater, using a 55 chev cameo as the starting point. Just going to post up pics but if you wanna know how I did something just ask some liberties have been taken and some details fudged a little but I think he'll look the part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 thanks guys, Having fun with mater at least. the King, Chick Hicks, Filmore and the Sarge, Sally, Ramone and The Snot rod and lastly but not the least Lghtning are the cars I already have to build. Lightning is based on a c6 vette with a lot of generic nascar stylings thrown in from what I've found out so thats what I'm basing him on. If I can find what I need at a reasonable price I'll happily do any of the others but 11of the cast from what I have so far isnt too bad. ANYHOW bit of color thrown about today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 thanks guys, appreciate it. As I seeminly become more of a starter than finisher of builds, here's the progress on Sally and the start of Lightning Mc Queen. Sally being a Porshce 911 GT3, Tamiya kit relatively box stock plus a little body work. almost ready for the paint booth now and Lightning, have started with a 2010 ZR1 corvette. Filling holes he dosen't need I've done bigger (or worse ,depending on how you look at it) body mods before so will start smoothing him out later on today.
