James W Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Very nice!!! Love the Wide Whites. What is your secret to getting the paint so scaly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSilva Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks Fella's! James, i did a tutorial,its in the tips section. Basicly its just multiple paint applications of acrylic paint, i use a brush with a tiny amount of paint on the tip to get the "calico" effect (multiple colors in a small area) Just apply multiple layers of acrylic paint, and rub them off with rubbing alcohol. Its much more in depth in my tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyBad Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Dang,m What a nice little Rust bucket ya got going on there. You'd think that Plastic wouldn't rust but ya proved that theory wrong. Atleast ya got some Nice new Shiny Whitewalls to go with it. Lot's of work to make it looks soo old. Awesome Job.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanSilva Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Im actually changing the flatty Using the 48 ford convert engine for parts =motorcity flatheads and intake. red clear fuel line..etc. I added some chrome..needs a few touch ups though, i managed to nic some parts. I always manage to lose one tire...i do this every time, so right now a AMT black wall is sitting in the back, waiting patiently to be removed! Yes thats a face that appeared on the door, when i was doing a black wash...creepy After a few touchups its off to the passenger side..

Guest Gramps-xrds Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Ryan, the more I see this thing the more I like it. If it was sittin outside it could pass for real. Super technique. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I got a few possibilities in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayVee Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Excellent job! This looks great. I agree that a little weathering on the wheels would put it over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
