Hi Guys.

Unfortunately, I have no time enough as I wish to describe all photos. I hope they are self explication.

I’m a big fan of Foose’s projects. So, I decided to star this one:

The material wasn't strong enough. So, I decided to copy and cast in resin.

And for me, the coolest work so far: THE WHEELS!

The correct model is the NITROUS II:

A friend of mine made the exactly Foose’s Nitrous wheel model using CAD software. Then, a specialized company made it in 1:25 scale using prototyping process. Matter of fact, I asked him to design the NITROUS CHROME, because in this case, I’ll get two different wheels with only a few fulfill job in that holes. So, that is the model that was designed:

Here, the process:

Of course, still need sand & refine work on this, but isn’t cool or what????

I hope you guys like it… this project is running at baby steps. But, I promise update as soon as possible.

Please, please, suggestions and comments are very welcome!!!

Alex, I love the way you do your body work...everything comes out nice and straight! 8) Clever idea for the inner fenders..................I have to try that! :D

BTW, what kind of putty are you using? Most putties I've seen have a greenish/blue appearance.

1st: Hi guys. Thank you all for the comments. Obrigado Ismael!

2nd: To be compared with Bill Geary is a honor. Tks Enzo and Marco Cruz, but I guess I still have a long way to get there!

Bill, thanks for your time here! I appreciated a lot. The putty is from PPG: P242 Beige:

I’m testing it. It was my first work with it. To be honest, this putty is nice, but it’s needed to apply very slowly, otherwise, a lot of air bubble will soak the area.

Again, thanks a lot. I hope get back on this project very soon…Right now, I’m working on a “greatâ€AMT: General Lee -huf!- (and all corrections that must be done aswell). :evil:
