Bluemiles22 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just started this one last week and figured I'd get some pictures up. So far got the body and interior painted both Pontiac engine blue. Also shot the frame edges with the same color to mimic the factory overspray. I'm in the process of masking off the frame so I can shoot it with black, does anyone have a better way of doing this it's kind of a pain lol. Seats and door panels are in the process of being masked for a darker shade of blue and so far I got some foil on the dash gauges. Thanks for looking.

Bluemiles22 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments. Shot the interior with the second color then with some dullcoat to take down the shine a little bit. Also started the foil on the seats and door panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemiles22 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks! Hopefully I can get the rest of the frame all masked off tonight and get it painted black. Maybe ill try and pick up some liquid mask, I've never used it before but hopefully it works without too much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemiles22 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks guys and girls ! the badges and scripts are decals from Keith marks. There are a few different ways to do them but the decals are the easiest for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydar Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 that makes my day. Great job! If it was mine (I wish)I would take a little shine off the interior but otherwise it is perfect. joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemiles22 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just a quick update, got my carbs yesterday from mad modeling and I have to say I'm very happy with them. There was absolutely no clean up needed. Also I want to add fuel lines but the pictures I've found look like the fuel line goes into the linkage side of the carb is that right? Any suggestions?
