got a few coats of clear on the Nassau blue and the hugger orange bodies, got some color on some interior bits as well, icy blue [for the Nassau blue] orange [for the hugger orange] and black [for the dark blue] need to do a little work on the bucket seats for the orange and black interiors before I can paint them, and the orange needs another coat of paint, then some dull coat or semi gloss coat to knock the shine down. still want to put a few more coats of clear on the bodies before I paint the white on the tail sections. also waiting on my other two paint colors to come in at work. I almost have an assembly line going for these, lol. the bench is getting crowded....... Chris, will be using the spoilers on all of these, but will keep my eyes open.

KJ, I see my wallet taking a hit at fulton..............

David, they didn't have that, I just happened to get the Camaro's there, the titan and transporters just happened to be in my stash. Although I would like to say David, your advice in one of my topics about painting has helped me tremendously, without your input, I would still be chasing my tail for a shiny/deep paint job, for that input, I am truly grateful, and can't thank you enough, each of my paint jobs is an extension of you in one form or another, I hope I do your input justice, and thank you again.

Dennis, you knocked it out of the park again! terrific looking build, well done sir!

thanks all. the color on the blue one is GM spray touch up paint, I saw it on a 2014 Silverado at work, and ordered a can of it. it's called 'Luxo Blue Metallic. of note, the paint layed down great. got the other two in color now, Nassau blue and hugger orange. the orange may need a trip to the pond, looks like I got something on the body and it has some fisheye, i'll see if I can massage it out, but it may need to go swimming. on the blue one, I have the clear wet sanded out, just need to polish it out now. I also painted the tail white to match the box art scheme, and will do so on the rest of them. may be slow going after I get all the bodies painted, but stay tuned.......

congrat's Tim, that is pretty neat!

everything looks great so far! that two tone interior is very nice, excellent work so far.

so a few weeks ago or so 'Ollies' had that sale on models, and naturally I couldn't resist buying too many. I ended up with a pile of these, so the other day, I got in a mood to crack open one of them [as I was waiting on paint to dry on a few other projects] and started to get the body in shape for primer/paint, and it ended up in the booth, so I then thought, if doing one now is good, let's start a few more! so I have two more in primer this morning, the ultimate plan is to build these to cart them around on, just need to pick up one more of the Camaro kits to make the 1/2 dozen.

making progress, seem to have too many projects going at once.....yet again... thanks for looking.

thanks all. slightly stalled on this at the moment. as I was waiting for the cab to dry, I started a few other projects, lol [66 chevelle and a 69 Camaro]. should be back on to it shortly though, thanks for following along.

I gotta say, I am really digging that! cool build.

sweet set up JT, looks fabulous man.

that's a fine looking rig! nice job.

looking good man!

i dunno, that looks pretty good to me too. if it were me, i'd leave it alone and use it to compare how you've progressed.

nice job, she looks fantastic!

looking forward to seeing this one come together, love the color as well

thanks guys, rear panel didn't come out as well as I had hoped, but I can live with it. Mark, the green is 'krylon short cuts' [small can] Hunter green. I must say, I didn't care for the paint itself, but it was the best 'looking' green I could find for this project.

superb work on the engine, looks beautiful. if this work is a result of a slump, I can't imagine what you get done when you are in the 'zone'

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb sorry, that was from my chin hitting my keyboard every update is just better and better, killer job so far!

wow, that is slick! candy tangerine with gold flake in it...........???

excellent work, looks like you could jump in and drive it.

started a 66 chevelle today, I used to own one, was an SS clone, I shoulda never sold it........ anyway, I saw a new spark or sonic at work in a pale yellow, it was called 'lemonade' on the window sticker, and the color just screamed to me to do a 66 in it, so to the parts counter I went with paint code in hand and ordered a spray can of the color. today I did some body work, and then layed on some 'lemonade', needs a wet sand, then some clear coats, but I like the way it looks so far, will have a black interior, but still unsure of wheel choice, maybe poverty caps, or the incorrect rally wheels. I also may use some PE bits on it. stay tuned....

thanks guys made some progress, not as good as I had hoped, but I think once 'wrapped up' it'll look ok,

another fabulous build! all the little 'extras' are just pure dynamite, just fantastic!
