TimJ Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Joining my '57 Nomad on the bench is a '55 Bel Air hardtop that I'm building as part of a CBP on one of the Facebook groups that I'm a member of. So far the body has been nosed and decked followed by a couple of coats of primer. Edited September 21, 2015 by TimJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys. Over the past couple of days I've got the body and underside painted. Paint is Tamiya Metallic Green and Humbrol Gun Metal. Ive also added redlines to the tires for a bit of extra color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I dig it. Gonna stay flat or going to gloss it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I've glossed it up Rob. A few coats of Tamiya Pearl clear gave it a nice shine. I dry fitted the side trim to see what it looked like. Looking forward to applying the foil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Those wheels, those redlines, that crazy two tone; looks like a vintage Hotwheels. Can't wait to see this finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 It's been a while since the last update but I have made some more progress. The interior is finished, side trim fitted and the BMF is under way. As there isn't much left to do now I should have it finished before the end of the year.
