    this build started about six years ago. after rethinking and wanting to make some changes, it got dusted off and put back on the workbench. the doors were opened with a hotknife years ago (before i discoverd the back of an exacto blade) so the door gaps have been repaired, the jambs and hinges built, new hood scoop and a set of scratchbuilt rear window louvers molded in the body. the fender flares were scratch built along with the spoiler, and shaving door handles and vents were all done the first time around. after the original idea of a 60s custom, its taking a turn to a modern pro touring look.

    Great build, spectacular paint job. I wished mine looked this good. I've got a few questions, what did you paint the block and tranny with? And what did you use for the grills? I'm building the same car, but I didn't open the doors, or vents. I have to mask off the trunk to paint it black and possibly carpet it.

    The block and Trans are painted flat aluminum it made from vht and the mesh is from ksmetals.com stock number #02207

    Looking good. That's a great looking kit. Are those the kit's wheels and tirres?

    ps...Your right front tire is mounted backwards...

    The wheels are from the kit they come chrome but I gave them a bath so the can be painted black like the factory. The wheels are just setting there now but good catch ill make sure there not backwards on final assy.

    Your detail work is excellent. I also applaud the exhaust finish. Can you give us a "how to"?

    I'm following for sure.

    Great work so far. How do you make the headers look like they have been heated? It looks vary believable.

    They were based with stainless steel paint then airbrushed copper, gold and blue to give it that used look.
