Looking good Jeff!

Looking forward to seeing this project come to life, going to be a cool build.

Thanks all. As soon as my 49 Merc is off the bench I’m going to start on this, so probably mid week or so. Stay tuned?

Here is my entry for the group build, will be starting it soon.

Wow, great looking build! Terrific job, this one just really grabs me.

Todays scores, all ‘old’ stuff

Cool stuff!

Thanks all. I think it’s done, after the pics I went back and added a dot of chrome on the door locks and trunk lock, hope to do some better pics for an under glass post this weekend. Thanks again for following along.

Thanks guys , got the body wet sanded and polished, did the foil work, and currently have 1/2 the glass in and the headliner painted. As always, thanks for looking.

I don’t know what you have on hand for paint, but I have a bottle of model master lacquer aluminum paint that I would do the panel with, then I would foil the outer trim, for the tail lamp rings I’d pool some Molotow into something and with a Tamiya ( or equivalent) small pointy swab I’d detail the rings, probably after hitting the ‘lenses’ with Tamiya clear red.

I did a mercury body a couple weeks ago with the colorshift paint from scale finishes, iwata neo with a .35 needle, 20-30 psi, painted it as I would with a spray can, came out pretty good. I just used the same technique as my spray bomb jobs. I used Tamiya ts-13 clear

Wow,,just wow, fantastic work on the trailer, and much like something I would do you had to build another model to continue working on the original model, haha.

That is one impressive looking bunch of plastic, fantastic

Thanks guys, not bad for 10 hours worth of time, lol. Super fun doing it with friends and trying to beat the deadline and still get some sleep!

Calling it done?

Almost there …..

Thanks everyone, obviously this isn’t a show table build, so it’s a bit sketchy here and there, lol, but having fun just the same. Was back at this about 8 this morning, should be able to have it done in time.

Ok, I think I’ve hit the limit of what I can get done today, about 7 and 1/2 hours into it, now I’m waiting for clear coats to dry on cab/hood , so here is where I end for tonight I think,

Thanks all, I’m motoring right along,

Thanks guys, I have a roller….

Air bags painted, some clear on the cab, and the start of dash detailing…..

The colors

Moving right along, got almost everything in color, next will be clear coating the body parts….., making good time so far…..

About an hour in and everything is in primer……

The last two years efforts,
