Joe Handley Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Threw this together for the club build project. I've known about it for a while, but with how the last 4-5 months have been, so I kinda threw this together in the last couple days between work, visiting Mom after work, and sleep, which is why I don't have many build pics of it. Not my best work, and I have a few things I'll do different if I build another one of the '32 Kits. The headlights and shocks/brackets are in the purple pothole (I used a prescription bottle), but those will be in flat black as well and I may paint the shock portion with Future once the black primer is dry.

Bill Eh? Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I am really liking your combination of flat black and a dark shade of red on the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it's Model Master GM Flame Red over the same Duplicolor Black Primer the rest of the car is painted in, I just left off the clear coat to give it a semigloss sheen over glossy on the wheels, engine, and interior. The chrome that remains I hit with Pactra Window.Tint for lexan R/C bodies. The tail lights are self stick rhinestones from Michael's and I may go pick up some normal ones today while heading over to visit Mom.

geetee66 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 That has a menacing presence! I also like the black with the red wheels. maybe give the tyre treads a lick of matt black to knock down the shine? Just a suggestion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Thanks, I wanted kind of a sinister, down and dirty street fighter/chopper like hot rod, plus the time frame I had to work in, wouldn't allow for something pretty. I did get a picture of it from last night with a friend's (and former co-worker) more showcar like version of the 3 Window and a Model A Lowboy he built with input from his little son and a Surf Woody he put together. Oh, here's the other two year end contest builds, the black Ardun headed roadster (also built by a good friend and now an inlaw of a current coworker) and the Model A p/u came in First and Second, while my friend's 3 Window and Chopped A tied with my 5 Window for Third.

rbarlow1 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Sometimes these things just work out when we focus on just building the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH things. This is a really cool combination of colors and finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
