wraith Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Some sanding of the body is being done. I need to pick up a small round file and do som work on the side openings of the front bumper. The edges are too close to the driving lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraith Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Picked up afile set to give the problem areas a lil more body work. I also have scratchbuilt the front knuckels to hold the rotors and wheels! And YES! She will roll! I don't like building models that dont roll! Right now i am waiting on the JB Weld to dry to I can finish the body work. Pics as soon as I can find mt camera cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraith Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) now some pics here i have filed the side of the fog light opening on the pass side. you can see the difference on the driver side. the edge of the opening is too close to the fog light. I need to pick up some googlely eyes foe the fog light lenses. both sides done pics of the wheels and rotors. the wheels will be painted gunmetal. some VIPER floor mats. i cut the floor out of a interior tub of a diecast the went bye bye years ago. sanded them as thin as I could get them. I think they will liven up the interior a lil bit. a side view of her with her new wheels mocked up in place. the suspension/chassis is almost ready to be painted and detailed. Need to make some wheel wells yet and then the wheels can get put on for good. it was a simple suspension but making sure everything was the right height took some careful measuring. and just a cool pic!

wraith Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 debating on weither or not to prime the body before the silver base coat and then the deep amethtyst pearl top coat and then clear coat. the body panel lines are not too deep. i dont want to wash them out. Anyone have any ideas? if so please come forward! she is almost ready for primer (maybe) and paint. and do I keep the hood, roof, trunk lid and rear spoiler satin black or just the hood satin black? I am having a hard time deciding. opinions welcome on that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod59f100 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Ordered my Deep Amethyst Pearl paint today! Have to finish cleaning up the body and get her ready for primer. base silver coat and paint! Still touching up the chassis as well. Hoping to have her dome this coming weekend! Is that the same paint as the plymoth prowler purple. If so i wished I knew because I have 4 cans of spray in that color.

wraith Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is that the same paint as the plymoth prowler purple. If soi wished I knew cuz I have 4 cans of spray in that color. Nope. the prowler purple was only used on the prowler. this is the purple (deep amethyst) that this will be a bad pic of the color, but it looks sweet and waxed!
