The color is so amazing flopping between different colors time to allow it time to cure , and decide if more is needed

ISO hilburn style intake

Casey , it will be 1/25 -
Sorry David ( espo) I didn't reply to your question about the adhesive for carpet. I used a brown paint from tamiya , brushing a small area at a time then dusting the embossing powder on. I figured if the powder was thin the paint would conceal it Thanks everyone for their feedback

I'm planning a build and would like to use this style intake and double plug heads, but unsure where to find one Any help appreciated.

No problem Tim glad to have ya along I started paint today, the roof and coves got a coat of diamond dust lacquer, followed by multiple coats of white lightning. The silver took a very long time to hide under the white. I wanted both to show thru , hoping to enhance the pearl. The diamond dust coat laid down beautifully the white lightning after 3 medium wet coats, I ended session at 5 , and it looks good and even the interior colors kept me awake, and finally settled on champagne gold w white accents.

The body shop was busy today getting the body sanded and back into primer . It reveals more work ahead in a few spots , but glad it showed up before color ! Sorry for the messy background lol I used a goldish color embossing powder to replicate the carpet I sprayed the upholstery primer white , and not completely sure what color combo to paint it . I've looked at several photos of Pacer interiors , they seem to use main body color and accent , which would be gold and white ..what's everyone opinion? I originally thought shades of Tan, but would appreciate a few suggestions . Heres the door panels and dash for reference

The powerplant is a mishmash of kit engine and Roush parts , just the kind of power improvements someone may have added . The electric fan is from BN L resins My buddy suggested the engine color , its sunburst yellow from rustoleum. while the booth was running , I sprayed the floor pan the future body color to get a feel for how it sprays . 3 light color coats , then 2 coats of wet look clear and it's done. I cant wait to spray the body now ! any feedback welcome!

I was inspired by other builds on here to tackle an Edsel, but decided to add a few changes . I mixed the kit engine w the carb, air cleaner , and front cover / belts from the Foose FD 100 Roush engine . The wheels are from the parts box . I also ordered the MCG etch set to enhance the build detail. The body will be Inca gold w white roof and coves . The engine ended up a goldenrod shade . The separate frame will either be black or burnt metal, but in want to test the color ... All the holes were filled w rod or strip, this will be a modern touch on a classic. the wheels were from the parts box , not even sure what make they are. I originally planned to use the Foose Daggers all around , but didnt care for the huge rear wheels . The rear axle was just floating in the photo The finished rear ride height ended up slightly higher than I planned , but it's the stock axle position. I might add a small lift block before paint .
