like I needed another project got this out and was having a look at it and the roof fell off !! 

somehow about 3mm fell off all the pillars

so then I had to line em all back up



haven't decided much about anything else yet including color though I was thinking flat black with a bright metallic roof

 Ride height is set

Those dang plastic eating termites! They can be such a bother... Then again, they might make something better!

 

I like the look of this! I'll have to watch and see how this goes.

[Mooneyzs]

Brett....i am totally digging this build. I am loving the chopped top and that ride height is perfect. That color on the roof looks great!! You going to do the whole car that color??. Keep up the awesome work.

thanks Chris, Got the black on ( a nice satin ), you'll have to imagine the roof as its still taped up at the moment, I think once its been foiled and chrome installed it'll look  chithot man 


I did have a backup colour to go over the black but as it came out just as I envisaged it, it aint gonna happen.

Lookin good man!!

[CrazyGirl]

way cool !! can i ask what kind of glues and fillers you used ???

[brett]

Thanks guys,got it foiled but no pics yet

 

. I do use Tamiya putty as a finishing filler, most of my body work is done with styrene and super glue with baking soda. I dont seem to have a lot of success with the Tamiya cement but it does soften styrene filler pieces pretty good.

Very nice work so far Brett, nice chop and color choices. Satin black really looks nice on it...

Unexpected roof chips are always a pain to put right but you did a great job

[Ace-Garageguy]

All that slice-n-dice on the roof sure looks great under paint. Good stuff.

[crazyjim]

Looking good.

[brett]

thanks guys , most of the shiny stuffs attached and I started on the interior


the mexican blanket actually has no sheen to it at all so the camera flash is lying, gloss blacked all the lug nuts tonight so will try alclading them (with a brush) tomorrow

[peekay]

Nice work Brett - chopped and lowered and with that colour scheme it looks real mean.

[Dr. Cranky]

Coming along nicely.  Love those two colors and they way they work together.
