customsrus Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Ok everyone, got a little update for you. Got the chassis 99% finished, still have a bit of plumbing to do. Car will be Hugger orange with white stripes, so I painted the chassis to match. Painted the front of the chassis black, I used a few different metalizer paints on portions of the front and rear suspensions.I also used some carbon fiber decals on the tanks. I made the front steering posable with some brass rod. Added brake lines front and rear. So on with the pictures. Next up the interior. Do you guys think I should paint the interior the bland grays of today cars or should with go with something to match the orange?

Wonderbread Kustomz Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I would do the interior with orange accent pieces... Maybe a white interior or grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azers Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I suggest dark and light grays with orange accents. Or various shades of metallics with orange highlights to mimic the engine and frame details. By the way nice work so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customsrus Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Interior is finished. I decided to go with light and medium tans with some carbon fiber thrown into the mix, also added some orange accents to the door panels and dash. Colors are Krylon Almond (light tan) and Khaki. I then painted everything with Krylon satin gloss.Made some seat belts out of ribbon and used photo-etch buckles. I also used flocking for carpet.

customsrus Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Oh no I not finished yet. Also got some color on this build. Color is Testors Hugger Orange. I still need to put the stripes on. I will then clear coat, sand and polish this, I am hoping to get this finished in time for Heartland. Wish me luck. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodguyinar416 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) You got my attention! that is one sharp looking Cavelle or Chamero whichever! It is looking awesome, but the only thing I think I would have put the Camero headlights in it and used a different grill that does not say Chevelle? otherwise keep it going....
