Metalmad

Coming Soon !

Joe thank you ! and yes the carb is from Fireball.

Small mock up of the Chevelle SS which I might shoot one more coat of clear on her before final assembly.

Thank you Carl !

Finally was able to get a little bench time in on Chevelle SS this evening.I wash able to get the distributor installed , plug wires , coil , starter, and one of the vent tubes installed and I also installed the accelerator cable as well.

Thank you all for chiming in on this. The kit comes with 12 really cool solid and metallic and pearl colors so hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to shoot some of the colors on a few extra bodies that I have laying around to experiment with.

Not sure why it came with reducer since the paint is ready to shoot ...... I have airbrushed automotive paint and 2K clear and I'm planning on testing the paint this weekend if time permits.

On my B-Day my sister in law had ordered a Custom Shop 12 color basic airbrush kit from TCP Global and had the set shipped to me so I was curious to see if anyone here has used these airbrush paints on their builds and if so what kind of results did you have.

Very Cool project !

Shew looks good ! I'm in the process of building a 69 SS Chevelle in Fathom green myself.

Thank you Jeremy !

Finally was able to get some bench time in this weekend so I have a small update for you all. I was able to get the bare metal foil done on the trim on both the front seats, the molding around the wheels , front and rear glass trim and the trim on the roof and on the hood inserts.Will try to get better pictures later this week.

She's looking good !

Thank you Pierre ! I have finished polishing her out & when we get a little sunshine here in Ca. I will shoot some pictures of her.

Curtis I have thought about it but have never attempted it. I have always bare metal foiled after I have cleared and polished it out which the results have always been good.

Will still need to polish out the clear and add the ever fun job of bare metal foil.

Thank you Don,Jim,Anton and Carl for the encouraging comments !

It's always a pleasure to watch you build and see the finished build ! Amazing build Art !

She turned out awesome Art !

Finally found time to clean up the work bench & do some rearranging which now I’m a little more motivated to get back on the Chevelle build. So here is a small update on her. Finally shot the last coat of clear on her today and I also finished up the wheels which I will be using Fireball Modelworks BF Goodrich drag radials on the rear and to get the rear tires to look correct on the rims so I had to deepen the wheels on the front side and the rear side of the wheels.On the interior I used embossing powder on the floor and I also mocked up the exhaust to see where I will lay down the brake lines. So that’s all for now on this update and hopefully I will have another update sooner than later.

John, Awesome build ! and you always come up with the out of the ordinary cars to build.

Love the color combo on her ! Looks Awesome !

Not a big fan of the blue color but she does look awesome in blue !

Thank you Jeremy !

Thank you Andrew & Mike ! Andrew to make the heater core hoses I used bead wire and heat shrink tubing then I shaped the bead wire to the configuration I wanted then I ran the heat shrink tubing over the bead wire then heat shrank the heat shrink over the bead wire.
