did the inside of the bonnet matt black and the hose on top of the radiator matt black the pins inside the hood i made and placed myself they make sure the hood is level with the fenders when its on very carefully did a dryfit with the grille and bumper tryed on the spotlights .. and the chrome on the black really makes it ... cant waight to see the wheels under it .. but i have to be patient and handle the body with care .. i use a sorft cloth to hold it fiingerprints are a nightmare you see every toutch and then i need to clean them off again lol -
i dig it !!! rust looks great .. maybe the layer is a tad thick , try to get a thinenr layer like that on the body a tad less rough (the structure) .. maybe a lot of body detail will be lost when its that thick ? like it becomes less detailed .. but the look > awsome and the rust look is cool you could also do the bonnet and trunk rust and the rest primered or ...

i do the same stuff with regulair paper .. you can try using normal household glue like the clear glue people often use to glue paper or ... and i always just paint over some clear carnish .. i have that in matt and gloss .. maybe its easyer and cheaper ?? but ifyou like this method keep doing it because it look great

bad news i wanted to glue in the windows .. and well i was so carefull but some glue got on the side of the body , dont understand how .. i was able to polish it .. smooth but the shine never became the same .. the good news is i therefore gave it a nother coat of clear ... and when i saw that a nother one ... and man it became soo smooth and soo deep ... just like a mirror now .. so i learned that when i build up layers of this clear coats every time it gets more flat and deeper here is the result > the body was just on the counter and the littke signs on the wall .... whow then did the hood .. to keep it the same and you really saw the difefrence when the hood didnt have a nother coats or 2 just like glas / a mirror its really that smooth so i learned a cool thing for next builds .. because i did thicker and muyltiple coats i will let it sit in teh closet until the weekend .. iw as actually planning of having it asembled this evening lol and well tbh on the right side at the bottom there is like a wide runner / thickness difefrence in the clear .. due to all the mayhem when it got damaged ... but its so reflective you can hardly see it due to the reflections ... ps i am known for weathering and filth lol but now well this got to get me in the shiney club also right ??? -

thnx guys !! just started on the distibuter and wires -
nice !! one thing to start with if you really want to slam it like the one you posted .. you need to make the bottom line of the rear wheel well cover straight and place the cover a tad lower so the lower lines is level with the lower body line .. just a observation would make a lot of difference

it is well today i made a paper mold of the top of the aircleaner and scanned that in the pc and started some design in fotoshop .. the idea was a oldschool pinstripe .. but sadly it was to small to get a real nice crisp pinstripe on there .. so after a few try's i put this tiki on with a v8 logo on his head ... glued it on and made it so the paper went into the edge where the pin sits in the middle still showing the steel pin for now i put one thin coat of varnish on to seal it .. later i will mask it and spray clear coat on and try to give it real depth design wise not what i wanted but the best option for now also made the filtermaterial inbetween black .. i also have to make a distributer and wire it -
yes that would be cool @!@
