Thank you all, I messaged the guy who made the paint. I'm waiting is answer.
Meanwhile I will try all your suggestion

I was surfing on this website when I came across this pic.
How the hell did he paint the frame to look like this ?
Thanks !
-
Looking good so far.
Will be following

I really like whats being done. You might want to go back and re-scribe the door seams (re-blacken with some acrylics) because it seems you've lost a good bit of detail in your rusting process.
Thanks,
Yes, you have a good point. Nom i'm trying to figure out a way to do this step. Think I'll try the drybrush technique... what do you think ?
-
Need to go now. I have to go work on my costum exhaust line.
I'll update the topic as soon as I get picture
-
Finally I took my DSLR out of the closet to provide you better pics !
Here are the last progress.
The frame done
Frame + Engine almost done
Last mock-up before final "glueing" (right term ???)
For the front grill, I made a custom one from a piece of aluminium brush plastic at work with a laser engraving system. Here is the design
Here is the final result of the grill, but please help me decide, don't know if I go with my custom grill or one of the 2 optional that was with the kit

Little progress on the interior
Painted misc parts
More progress on the engine

So, after a few days of break, here is an update.
Fast mid-progress mock-up
I think I won't go the same way it "should be".
The interior will be simple but clean. All the mechanical parts and the frame will be clean and rust free.
For the chasis, i want a rough look, so it will be rusty.
As I worked in a compagny that produce signs, I have the chance to have the hand on a nice paint kit.
What I liked is it's waterbase paint, so easy to clean.
You have different color in the paint. I choosed the bronze.
Once painted, you have the choice for the aging process.
I'm gonna use a mix of them. As I wanted a rough look, I applied the paint with a brush insteed of an airbrush. The results is perfect.
Here is a pics of the bodyparts paint. (No aging yet)
Forgot to show the dent I made on the passanger door and on the bottom of the trunk
-
I really like the direction you go.
Gonna following this for sure !
-
Wow.... very nice !
-
In the week-end, it's hard to find time with the kids !
I made a little progress. Here we go !
Finished sanding the chasis. It's not perfect but I wanted it this way as it's a ratrod. I wanted a rough look.
Started working on the interior
And finally, little progress on the engine
-
Didn't have time yesturday to make a big progress.
More bondo and don't know how to tell it in english, I had a piece of styrene on top of the windshield
-
I must apologized for my writting. I speak french and not perfect in english.
Wish you understand all my comments !
-
Little progress.
I sanded the bondo on the chassis and primed it. Still need little more bondo and sanding.
I have finished to modify my frame. Forgot to take picture
Will try to have pics at the end of the day.
Little progress on the engine. I choose to go with the v8 dual carb that was in the kit.
Started assembling and painting.
-
Wow beau travail !

So yesturday I made the choptop.
It was my first time so the results is not perfect.
There was 2 trunk in the kit, I decided to use this one
I was looking at the trunk and I tought it was missing something. So I grab my lighter and came up with this result. You won't see all the details because the picture are from a telephone.
Next step, the frame extension. I just have time to cut the frame, I will glue it up tonight.
So, the homework for tonight:
- Finish the frame extension
- Sand the bondo of the choptop.
My question is, is 120 grip is to low for sanding the bondo ?
-
don't be afraid to cut it
can't wait to see it doneThe cut is already done, and it was pretty easy. The tricky part for me is to glue them together and to have a nice fit.
I can't stop thinking wich process i'm gonna use.
Wish me luck

I'll first introduce myself as it's my firt post on this forum.
Im 32 and from Montreal, Canada.
I started modeling 12 years ago. I did a few that I put in the garbage ! Nothing worth pics as it was very basic without any mods.
Following all your project since 6 months, last friday I found myself buying a new kit.
I'm a little afraid since I have no experience for the results that I expect. Hope you will give me some tips along this build.
So first pics, the box itself !
Then, I made a fast mock-up to see the stance i wanted. Didn't adjust play with the suspension height yet, I justed want to see where I'll go.
I decide to play with the radiator cover by giving it a angle. Haven't decide yet which engine I will choose, I don't no yet if the clearance is good. I think I will have to extand the frame about 1/8" to 3/16".
The angle you see in the picture is less that what I want, I will correct this later.
Now the trickiest part (for me) !!! The choptop. I plan cutting about 3/16" of the top height as you can see.
I started cuting, now in two separate part. Tonight I will weld them together, I must say, i'm really nervous about this step, It will be the first time, hope it will be easy.
can't wait to see it done
