Modlbldr Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) This, like a lot of builds, started with the wheels for the inspiration. As soon as I saw them I thought of a modern Hot Wheels Redline tire. This is one of my few builds that actually turned out just as I had it pictured in my mind. I got most of it completed and started in on the BMF. Halfway through I didn't like the results and so it sat for a few years. When I read Dr Kerry's Amnesty build idea I thought that it needs to be finished. So, I made new BMF to install. With that hurdle over I could move on. So, here it is http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// The interior is a mix of kit parts and 2010 Camaro wheel and seats. Hope you enjoy and I'm glad it is finally off my bench and on the shelf. Thanks Dr Kerry. Later- Edited January 3, 2018 by Modlbldr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks D2M Thanks very much. The paint was just plain old DuPont gray primer with a gloss coat sprayed on to be able to apply the decals without them silvering. Once the decals we're applied I covered the body with a couple of coats of DulCote to get a semi-gloss look. The wheels were some red aluminum 23 inch sleeves that a buddy gave me. (He used to work for Pegasus and designed a lot of their stuff. He also gave me 3 purple and 3 blue- he hasn't been able to find the 4th of them). I put the sleeves on Pegasus rims.
