tjones87 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Here are pics of everything painted....going to start assembly later tonight....I ended up having to us auto trim paint on he chrome pieces...the other paint wouldn't stick to it. It adds a little realism to the pieces and a unique finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Looks nice. This is an interesting build. The auto trim paint might not stick either. If you're going to paint the chrome pieces, they really should be stripped first in oven cleaner or Castrol Super Clean. Works wonders!

tjones87 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Yeah i was thinking about sending them to the purple pond...but the trim paint stuck pretty good....I was wanting to scrape some off and have a little chrome showing, but the paint etched into the chrome...so only bare plastic is what i got...so had to shoot a quick coat and just go all black. they seem to have a black chrome look to them, which was unplanned lol... Here are a few pics of the chassis together...getting everything ready to install the body...will have those pics up ASAP Edited December 5, 2012 by tjones87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olsbooks Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That is really cool about using the coat hangers and other ideas for stacks. Resourcefulness and scrounging at its best.... With a set of stacks like that, it can't help but to look "sick". Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
