MarkJ Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Thanks Josh and Scott. I think all the items that go inside the car are finished, so I believe I can start painting the frame and interior and all the parts that go in there.

Must not be long until engine time , friend.. Yes, Carl. That is next on the agenda. I had to steal a 350 from a 1970 corvette kit. What's weird is from the ref pictures, the engine appears to be all white and the headers too. I will use a big block in the Corvette if I ever get around to building it. I bought the Corvette kit strickly for the engine to put in this 74 Camaro build. I have a big block from a 65 Chevelle kit I can put in the Corvette. The small block from the 70 1/2 Camaro kit was used in the 65 chevelle late model sportsman I built a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chassis was bristle brushed because that's what I'm doing now. And using your rules of brush painting, it came out very well, I must say. Thank you for getting me in to the brush painting world. It makes building a pleasure not having to worry about the weather or going outside to paint. I always got trash in the paint from a tree or some other source. That doesn't happen at the work bench. The whole build is done at one station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I totally agree, brush painting takes the weather out of the equation. A must for me because I build from November to April... in Montreal (cold cold cold) Thank you again for sharing your work methods. Exchanging learnings is actually the best part of the hobby for me.

Mattilacken Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Looks very good! Looking at the surface at your chassis I could not tell it was brush painted. Is there a certain technique? I have started using an AB in a heated room with ventilation, seems to work fine as for now. I live above the Arctic Circle, snow has already come, about 2 feet and been below 20 deg Celsius already.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you like a link to check it out? Even if you have a booth setup, its so much easier to clean bristle brushes then it is to clean air brushes. Not to mention the fumes and having to wear protection when you paint or clean. We use acrylic paint which is non toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
