  1. One more I guess. You now know what direction I am going and some of you will not approve.
  2. Badass! Not my favorite color but looks applied correctly
  3. Most peculiar thing. Applied dupont clearcoat over testors lacqour and almost suddenly strange blotches and blemishes appear randomly. Never seen this before. I guess the two are not compatible. Nobig deal. Will let it gas out completely and hit it with another color coat. But next time try dupli-color clear instead.
  4. You planning to wetsand the paint on the emblems? Revealing the bare metal foil underneath? If so put two layers of foil. Doesn't take much to burn thru the foil back down to bare plastic
  5. Looks badass but I would carve that master cylinder out of the firewall.It looks like half of it is embedded inside. With your skill, you should easily be able to scratchbuild one.
  6. Thanks. Its so easy. I just stripped some speaker wire and removed strands until it looked like the right thickness then twist it back up, bend it to the shape you want then just glob some black paint on it to make it look like its wrapped in electrical tape. Where they terminate at bulkheads and other things..I only sliced square or round styrene rods, drilled a tiny hole thru it and slide the wire thru it. I do that before I paint it. The hooks are only just pop can aluminum cut thin, glued at one end to the firewall, then just bend it over the wires after
  7. added a little detail to the firewall
  8. thanks wonderbread customs. Itis this..
  9. interior color test.Too yellow? Tryin for this..
  10. For next time..spend a little more time with the 1000 grit. The polish won't cut the orange peel, only remove the fine scratches left from the previous stage. Not that it looks bad. Just saying.
  11. That red covers well over black
  12. Like the tan color. BTW. Your heater hose are routed wrong. I believe one goes to the intake manifold and the other goes goes to the water pump, but the nipple is on top.
  13. Added some surface rust to the manifolds. Fooling around, misted it with spray adhesive and then sprinkled some rust over it.

    1966 chevy II

    Pretty badass. Had lots of problems building this one too I think. The thing I hate most is when the tops edge of the interior does line up with the top edge of the doors. If I recall I had to grind off the top of the firewall and inner fenders to get things good.
  15. Pretty badass I guess. Never could understand why anybody would buy a post coupe when a hardtop was available but perhaps they had theyre advantages.
  16. Looks like "evening orchid" a chevrolet color.
