I too must of missed the build/under glass post of ol smoothie but I'm sure glad you posted a photo of it. That thing is so freakin cool, I almost like it more then one of your other builds (forget what it is) thats yellow with the skull on the hood. I really like how you have this one sitting, tuckin a lot of white wall. Your builds are always a lot of fun to watch. I'll be sitting back watching and waiting on this one.

ok, ive changed my mind about the color AGAIN...... i think it will be white, i dont have any white cars in my collection. so white, with a 3 tone interior......2 different blues, and white inserts on the door panels and seats...

i changed the color because i dont have enuff of the paint i was gonna use left.... so lets see how many more times i have to change it before i make up my mind! LOL

progress comin soon

so heres the new plan........"SATIN PEBBLE" and the paint will be done like "ol smoothie" sanded through to the primer here and there, and some light surface rust....

it looks a little rough in the pics, but its not, its pretty smooth. wont matter anyways its gonna get sanded...

the interior and frame/engine will all be nice and clean, just the body will be kinda crusty....

more to come

heres the techniqiue i use to get that "worn out" paint look.........i lightly sand it with some 1000 grit, and then some 2000......being careful to not cut through the primer, once it is weathered it will look like faded/worn paint....
