WolfmanJedd Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Man, this one kicked my butt. I was trying to go with old stock car racer look, but the black paint (which I now know is very difficult to work with) got really dirty and of course, I frosted the glass again (I now use glass glue!). So I panted the windows red and rusted it up. The skull and numbers, lettering etc. I hand painted. I like how it looks, but it is certainly a basket case. I even lost the radiator hose... Ah, the learning process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 To my eye, it turned out pretty well! It certainly has a "bad a_ _" look to it! I might suggest you dull-down the chrome on those bumpers and grill a bit; they almost look like newer replacement parts unless that was the look you were going for on them. I hope you post more pics of that Freightliner in the Truck section on the forum; it looks really good, too!

TooOld Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 For having a messed up paint job that's a pretty good save , it looks great ! The rust and hand lettering look correct for that type of race car . Buy a can of Testors Dull-Cote , it works wonders on those shiny tires . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
