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.

Inca gold, same color the exterior will be

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

Thanks ! I actually have a can of Phoenician yellow , and will try the spoon test

Look forward to your updates , the Viper is my absolute favorite car

This combo is off the charts ! I cringed when you said how twisted everything was, but you massaged it into shape ! Fantastic work

Outstanding work. !!!

Well we're flying or crawling thru May, and still have several builders hammering away on their projects ! Keep up the great work everyone!

Now that is sweet like the combo !

Now that's scratchbuilding ! Awesome work love the lines

Very cool

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 .

Very nice work !

My wheels arrived from moluminum, and they immediately went into the booth for a squirt of primer !!! Let em dry and fog some gloss white over them and my combo will be finished !!

Nice work Tom ! The interior looks fantastic

Thanks ! I'll paint the spool gunmetal then wash of rust

Nice frame color that's gonna be killer

I could but its actually green fish line , maybe a coat of gunmetal would give the look Other question I have , what does the gin poles attach to when stowed , they dont seem to hook to roller , guess theres a pivot in the trough they rotate on ?

Okay I'm stumped , trying to decide how to paint the winch cable ? Its braided fishing line. Black doesnt seem right , but not sure how to make it look right...any ideas ? Heres what it currently looks like

Thanks Sam ! I had a photo of yellow truck w black and thought it looked cool. I was planning orange sheetmetal, but the color didnt look good

Whooohoo !!! Looks like your going for the quarantine 15 !!! Your really taking advantage of the downtime, looking forward to the Pete

Oops missed ya Kerry ! Thanks for the comment . The panic color was more gray than in envisioned

Thanks ! Thanks ! The visor is k & s aluminum sheet. I just eyeballed width, then bent ends over around doors. I used dremel to finalize shape Thanks , its really coming together

Cool build
