daring .. and well if at one point you think it doesnt look good you can always go fenderless it pretty unique thats for sure

this is the part where the real weathering begins .. white arylic paint with superfine sanddust mixed ... the bellypan , did that darl with salt .. wanted it to stick out and if it was light grey it didnt pop that good salt build up low on the sides painted the seatbelts , have to redo it with matt paint this was gloss and that looks weird , the chrome closing stuff (??) is scratch made some outside pics where you see the difference between the blue and salt better i probable will make the truck into a shorter truck so i can hang a sort of flat / low trailer behind it with room for 2 cars .. then i can add a future racer or mix and match ..

hmm yes that def. a great idea COOL TO FOLLOW i'm actually the other way r......... i'm doing my best modeling with cars like this , the old models .. tried a modern car a while back (a older japanese NISSAN LAUREL) .. super simple building if you ask me , only a few parts and not as much room for customising as the old timers ... but i just lost interest and found it boring

i just love it , looks very very good , awsome result

:wub: :wub: sooo awsome !!!!

came out sooo awsome i just love it

very very interesting because this kit is one of the cheap kits here in holland and i just saw this like a month ago and wondered if i would do this kit in the future .. so fun to see what this kit is about great start on the kit !!

awsome painting !! the whole build just is so great to watch ! good luck in the hospital !

thats really cool

very very cool this color really pops already , imagine when there is clear coat on it

either 4 or 15 ....~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very cool !! curious on the rest

got rid of the ugly lettering by wet sanding it , then downtoned the white a bit .. i would have been better of with a darker color now on the pics you cant see the salt effect real good , would have popped so much better on a dark color hard to shoot in this light > the open headers / exhaust that will come out of the side later on , gonna do those chrome national street rod association decal on the rear some decals , need some mild weathering later on

started teh detail work today first painted the rollbar chrome red lenses and chrome bevels , pretty nervewrecking painting lol then did the front suspension . rods and backside of the rims chrome hamdpainted the "window" frame and although it was a risk i was able to get a super tight line and shape overall looks i was pleased with the results but pretty static and plain , i wanted it to look like it did several runs on the salt ... this is what the first set up is atm dont mind the 22 i did that with black and painted the center with chrome , looked cool untill i touthed it b accident and tried to clean it off , the paint was east but the back didnt want to work with me so i redid the black but ruined the numbers and made them too thick. also after the salt weathering it now looks stupid , the chrome inside of the numbers is now gone .. so i will fic that later with something new make it or break it >>

well felt like building again today ... i'm feeling a bit better now , first the rough belly pan work i did a few days ago used old vw beetle hub caps from a incomplete 1/16 kit and removed the vw logos and painted them silver / chrome and now you see why i used the cobra wheels the caps fit in these perfect and still show a lip of the rim so i was able to color match that to the body then i scewed up a bit last week at the rear and had to make somthing to cover my mistake .. i used rings and taillights for this i have to undo the lights from paint and make them red .. did not want taillights but like said i had no choice assembly looking at the semi shine i decided not to clear coat it , a deep shine would not fit this car imo

really came out great love the belly pan and that interiour really cool like that !! i would say id one day you have the nerve you could weather it like it really drove in the salt i'm currently building a dry lake 32 roadster myself

looks awsome .. :wub: one small taste thing , i think chrome rims would stand out more on the very dark colors sceme and make it pop more ..

looks great , its now really looking a bit more old with this base color on it

looks awsome , any plans for the wheels ?? like a wash or .. paint or ???

thnx well i was really sick so i have not done much yesterday i made and sprayed some moon disc covers ... i hope to do some stuff today

lol and the green one you posted i also found but did not post because it was a whole lot smaller and a rendering .. but that green one is soooo cooolll , scool bus meets airstream meets hotrod

i just use selfchanging lights

nice job, starting to come together great !!!!!!

yes thats understandable .. bit pricey .. i really like your example ... this also looks way cool > stylewise i mean

this is one of the most amazing dio builds to watch you really inspired me to begin building a dio myself and so i did a couple of moths back and i also have a topic about mine here.. thnx for the inspiration
