Straightliner59 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I built this Jimmy Flintstone kit for the 24 hour build . This is about all I would stand any chance of finishing--and, I did! I made the open header ends and the pushbar. It's far from perfect, but, hey, it's amazing enough I finished in the allotted time! It was a fun project. It looks much better than the first one I built 23 years, or so, ago. That's a good sign! Hope you like it. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi Daniel! Great job, stunning for a "one day challenge". Bravo. As to the color: is-it Tamya's Titanium gold (acrylic)? It looks a lot like it... There can never be too many Bonneville cars. We are just a few members of the "Flat Earth Society" it appears, alas...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 WOW Daniel, it's stunning to know you delivered this project in less than 24 hours!!! Of course, you could tell me that it's a pretty simple build but you even took the time to make custom parts... it's really amazing my friend! There is no way I could do this and it proves your great talent and love for our favorite hobby! I also really love the color as Claude mentioned but it is only the coating of an impressive effort, I take my hat off to you nice man!!! 🏆👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a tank lakester I built years ago, as well. I also have an idea for a Blowfish inspired 'Cuda. I enjoy your flats racers, a ton, my friend. And, I agree--it would be great to see more of them! 17 hours ago, AmericanMuscleFan said: WOW Daniel, it's stunning to know you delivered this project in less than 24 hours!!!

Hahaha I don't usually attempt timed challenges, because, for me, it's as much about the journey to the display case, as it is a completed project. Indeed, I will tell you it's a simple build--for once, I managed to keep it that way! 🙂 Still, there are some things, that just can't go ignored. Those pipes were one of them--I HAD to do something with them! As always, I appreciate your kind words, my friend. 8 hours ago, Phildaupho said: This is beautiful. Maybe the ultimate hot rod. Thanks, Phil. It is a gorgeous car! And a badassed one, at that! 5 hours ago, 89AKurt said: Think Daniel is still making up the lack of sleep. 😅 That came out great! Yes, what is the paint!!!!!! Hahaha! Actually, I work nights, so, I didn't lose much sleep, at all--a couple of hours before the "start" to sort out the pipes, and be sure I had enough of the proper sized tubing. I did--but, just! Thank you, Kurt! In case you missed it in the replies,above, the paint is Dupli-Color Ford Sunburst Gold. It's pretty nice, with a wide variety of tones/hues, given changes in light. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to have a look and comment. It's always appreciated!

Sooo is it Titanium Gold or Ford Sunburst Gold ? It's the Ford Sunburst Gold Metallic from Dupli-Color. Thanks, Bob! It's a neat "little" kit that can double as a nightstick! 😁 I think they can still be found on Ebay, from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicmustang Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Outstanding. Have one in my stash (over 20 years). Never had the nerve to tackle it. Great job, especially for a 24 hr. build. What did you use for the windshield? Edited February 4, 2021 by magicmustang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Awesome job, Daniel! One of my favorite resins! Great call on upgrading the exhaust. I actually finished one of these many years ago. Yours came out better. (And..I can use it for home defense if I need to. ; ) Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
