Wonderbread Kustomz Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Got this kit for 18 bucks at Hobby Lobby yesterday... Decided to start building it... Going for a rust/resto look.... Maybe. Made some cancer spots and removed some trim.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Great looking color on that. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. How do you keep the salt on while you spray the paint. I know others have done this method, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm having fun right now with this same kit. Nice to see you didn't chop it. How have you lowered the suspension, or have you yet? I am starting the rear by removing the leaf springs and making trailing arms with air bags. Later- Edited April 16, 2013 by Modlbldr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprayed some water on the body and sprinkled the salt on and let it air dry, then painted the body and after the paint was dry, I scrubbed the body with dish detergent and warm water...

Tom Geiger Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 James - I was rockin' with you right up until the interior photo. You are doing a great job on this car, so I have to say that the interior just doesn't look right. Interiors don't rust and get dirty, without any fabric tears etc. For reference, go to eBay Motors and look at some of the beat up cars for sale. And go look at Hollywood Jim's 1950 Olds interior. I don't mean to criticize, but you were doing such a good job on this car, you need to work on the interior. I'm pretty good at this, so I'm happy to offer suggestions. If you need more interior parts to play with, I have a few parts kits of that car. I'd be pleased to mail you whatever you need, no cost at all!

Wonderbread Kustomz Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thank you Tom... Trust me, I don't get offended easily... I'll gladly take any suggestions anyone has to offer... Let me see about redoing the interior and getting it to look right... I really only wanted to make it dirty, not rusty, but I can see how it does look rusty...
