Can-Con Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Looks good Dennis. I don't think I could have done any better and I've been doing foil for almost 4 decades now. ? 1
OldNYJim Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Foiling sucks - but you nailed it! Looks great dude! 1

alan barton Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 You passed the BMF test - that is a very nice quarter vent, in my opinion, the hardest part to do without wrinkles. This will really add to the realism of the finished model. Cheers Alan 1
slusher Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Real nice foil work, Dennis sir. I also believe you was determined to get it done… 1
John Goschke Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Nice clean work on this car, Dennis. Excellent foil work, too. What wheels did you use? They look super. 1
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 How much do you charge to do BMF work for your best buds? Asking for a friend....J/K....you certainly made it look easy....a stiff drink and a sharp blade! Well done! -RRR 1
geemoney Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 love it all when you filled in the hood parts, it reminded me oy father doin the same thing in 1:1 to our 57 Sedan delivery... i was 6.... good times! 1
Dennis Lacy Posted July 28, 2021 Author Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) UPDATE! I successfully clear coated the body, hood, dash and some other small parts on my lunch hour at work today. Edited July 28, 2021 by Dennis Lacy 2
OldNYJim Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 That looks GREAT! Tamiya clear? And, more importantly…did you still get to eat lunch? 1

Kit Karson Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Klearly one over-the-top kustom hardtop '57 Chevy! Sleek silver is a kool kolor and the red-hot & black interior will truly pop! The body mods are way kool and quite kontemporary for a kar that has seen even the "best" names try to kustomize, like Boyd's CheZoom! 1
Steve H Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Hi Dennis, crisp job on the foil, looks fantastic. Must have been a great podcast, and a really good drink to pull that off in one go. You’ve been kind enough to share your paint “recipes” with me, how bout the drink recipe?! Seriously though, that paint job really comes to life in the sun. Great looking build all round. Cheers, Steve 1

But, I sat down at the bench with the only goal for the afternoon being to foil the trim and I took my time. I used a brand new #11 blade and found it easier to control the trimming by holding the blade with my fingers rather than in a handle. I went non-alcoholic on the ice cold drink this time as my nerves felt relaxed enough. When I do want spiked punch the recipe is very simple, though: Glass, Ice, Jack Daniels #7 and Diet Coke. ?

Dennis Lacy Posted August 14, 2021 Author Posted August 14, 2021 UPDATE! Finally I got around to masking off the body so that I could spray the radiator and the big cavity in front of the core support matt black. I also painted the flat areas at the outer ends of the bumper opening matt black as well. This way there won’t be any bright painted areas to detract from the custom floating grill bar that I made. Next steps will be to brush paint the underside of the body flat black followed by polishing and waxing. 1
beeRS Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 Such a cool custom. The Champagne Gold really suits the smooth shape. 1
