My dad had a burgandy 66 but the only pick is black and white. I have seen burgundy 66 at a car show and on the road.. I was thinking that too Carl. The only reason I'm not painting it that color is that I already have three models painted that color. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 With my '62 Galaxie done, it's time to get back on this one. I got my colors picked out finally. They're Tamiya TS-78 Field Gray for the body and Tamiya TS-5 Olive Drab for the interior. After going over the body with 1000 grit, I could start spraying a bit of paint. I shot the headliner with a couple of coats of Olive Drab. I then taped off the body and shot a couple of coats of Field Gray on the underhood area and the underside of the hood. The Field Gray will get a coat of Tamiya TS-65 Clear Pearl followed by TS-13 clear. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 First two coats of paint on the body! For some reason, the color isn't showing right. My tablet has problems with green. I also got the frame/floorpan, seats and door panels painted. I'll give this a light sanding with 1000 grit. Then I'll spray a coat of paint, let it dry a few minutes and spray a coat of pearl clear. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I really like this build, and look forward to seeing how the paint job is going to look under the pearl clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I agree looking forward to seeing it clear coated. What do you have in place of the windows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just masking tape. I always spray the headliner first. Then mask it off to paint the body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Welp, I ended the old year and started the new year with covid! Still recovering. I made the mistake of dragging myself out to the garage with the idea of doing a mockup with the Goat. Bad idea! I had forgot that I had to install the floorpan in a different manner than usual. Like an idiot, I spread it too far and cracked the quarter panel AGAIN! So, I glued it again, filled the crack with crazy glue, gave it a light coat of Tamiya White Putty and sanded it smooth. Then I cut a corner out of a piece of paper, held it just off of the body and shot a coat of primer. Once it's ready, I'll sand and shoot a couple coats of color, sand and shoot the whole thing. Minor setback. But, it's still annoying. Especially when I did something stupid to cause it. At least I didn’t have to strip it and start over! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Thanx Mathias! I'm just trying to push through. I think I've turned the corner with the covid deal. I got the quarter panel back in paint. I took it outside for a photo to see if the color would show better. It did make a difference. Once this is dried well, I can sand it, get a coat of color and a coat of pearl on. I shot a coat of pearl on the floorpan and really like how it looks! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dino246gt Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 That GOAT is looking cool and those three maroon ones, WOW, fantastic trio!

Modlbldr Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 That is such a shock! I was enjoying watching this project and enjoyed talking with him about his fantastic builds. Does anybody know him or his family? I know he lived a little over 3 hours east of me here in Kentucky. I would love to get this project and finish it in his honor. He was such a talented builder.
