Tesla Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Tom what did you use for the clear coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 thanks guys, that sleeper was a royal pain. Dennis, it's testors lacquer clear, at work now, i'll post the product number later on, it's ultra gloss or something to that effect. i really like it, you can load it on and it doesn't seem to run/sag or pool up, or maybe i am just getting really lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thank you. I can't stop admiring how nice the paint job came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Not only is the paint spectacular I like the fact that "rivets died" in this episode. Rivets are so overrated anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Bill that chassis looks great ! Is that flocking I see going on in the cab floor ? May I offer a suggestion ? Relocate your shifters towards the driver seat. None of the Brownie's I ever drove or worked on was like this. The shifters are normally in alignment with the transmission in a regular cab. I would keep the location of the shifter on the left side of passenger seat and put the other to the right of the driver seat. I dont know why AMT has them there.

tbill Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 ya, first instinct was 'that ain't right', but then the thought of them never being seen again once installed in the cab prohibited the movement of them, lol. and yes, that was an attempt at flocking using something that isn't flock. it worked ok, but i have ordered some flock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
