DAVID SAW THIS AT NNL EAST , WOW THAT IS SWEET ! .

nice job ,

JOHN ,SOUNDS GOOD TO ME , THE PLEXY CLASS WILL CLEAN UP EASY ,AND THE PEG BOARD WILL WORK WELL ,AS FOR LIGHTING I USE CFL LIGHTS ,

JOSHUA , THANKS , I USED A DRY BRUSH ,GET SOME PAINT ON A PAPER TOWEL AND RUN THE BRUSH THOUGH THE PAINT UNTIL IT IS DRY AND THEN LIGHTLY GO OVER THE SCRIP LIGHTLY ,

THE COLOR IS WRONG FOR YOUR TRUCK BUT THE IDEA IS THE SAME ,

JOSHUS , GREAT TO SEE YOU BUILDING AND ASKING QUESTIONS ,IF YOU ARE GOING FOR AN AUTHENTIC LOOK THEN THE VALVE COVERS SHOULD BE THE COLOR OF THE MOTOR ,IF YOU WANT TO ADD SOME COOL DETAIL TRY PAINTING THE CHEVROLET SCRIPT BLACK AND THE 4-BOLTS STEEL ,

I hope they have them ,I would like 2-3 of them ,

DAVID , I CAN IN NO WAY TELL YOU HOW FRICKEN COOL THIS IS ,YOU DO SOME GREAT WORK ,IS THERE A CHANCE WE MITE SEE THIS AT NNL EAST? EVEN UNFINISHED ,IT WOULD BE COOL TO SEE ,

A PIC OF THE UNDER SIDE ,

I use to paint large cooling towers and condensers for a comp, they where as big as 36 feet long and 12 feet wide and 12 feet high ,i could paint the 36 footer in just over a hour , it was a very HOT job ,the comp, was EVAPCO ,

TOM , yes I use square rod on the in side wall at the top so I can sand it into the rounded shape ,it all so give me the straight line for the top cover , a lot of putty is used to fill in the gapes ,I hope this helps ,

it,s coming along nice STEVE , i,m not sure how mine will take shape ,i,,m thinking of useing the cab and hood,grill for arat rod ,and the rest on a c.o.e chevy may be a 41 ?.

here are some pics of my first try at one of these ,55chevy, it,s in a diorama, i did this one back in 2007/2008?

some side by side shots ,

I THINK THIS LOOKS BETTER, ??

TOM THANKS ,thats cool that you are inspired by my work, look forword to seeing what you do with the idea ,

THOSE SPRINGS NEED TO LOOK BETTER ,I.LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO , MY EYES ARE NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE ,BUT THE PICS DON,T LYE ,
