Makes me want to break out my '41 Ford Woody, that has no instructions ahha

Oh wow..

Awesome!

I'd invest in a airbrush if you already don't have one.. a Iwata revolution is like $80 here and a good air compressor is around $100... They also sell airbrush kits at hobby stores around here, so they're probably around you too...

Wow, good luck on getting this done in that time period... Do you mean the whole car, painted, decals and all?

wait, you build the chassis? Or are you scratchbuilding it?

Considering that you've converted it to a hardtop pretty sure you could fix that no problem.. It's just the molded lights? at the top of the roof..

My grandpa had a '63 beetle that he wouldn't sell. When it broke down, he fixed it, got in a crash, fixed it. He just wouldn't get rid of it until the pinto came out in the 70s, not sure what year he had.

Cool!

Today I didn't get much done, but I mounted the shifter, dash and I re-built the front chassis to be longer to fit in the front end better and also wider so it would mount up to the existing frame much better. Still haven't figured out the engine mounts or the front suspension, although I did mount the spindles to the wheels.. I've collected the A-arms and little small stuff...Rear suspension needs leaf springs and also shocks or springs, can't decide right now... Thanks for the comments! -Glenn

Thanks Niko, I figured it was Copper... I would wetsand (1200, 1000 grit) the car and put a light coat over it. But don't burn through the paint, go easy. And then clear coat it. That should fix it..

Looks cool man!

I'm going to try to finish up the interior today.. Hopefully...

wow, good job man.. That color is very, very yellow!

Good job! This is really good for just starting modeling! And your English is a lot better, good job on that too!

Amazing... Good job. Can't wait to see this finished

How about that blue 427 on top of the pile?

Thanks Stan, your Impala build came out amazing...

Thanks James, I tried something new with this build as far as the paint, I think it came out okay, but I don't think I'm going to be doing it again soon... -Glenn

Amazing job!

Good job cutting the doors out, hope to see more of this!

No problem, photobucket can be stupid sometimes...

Finally! A update with pictures! I've been working on the paint since Thursday on last week (??) First, I wanted to make it really look like a resto car that needs work so I sanded off the trim on the passenger side door. I also drilled holes to look like where you would mount the trim, you can't really see them... I need a better camera than my phone haha. Then I painted the car. After that, I went back with rust to make it look like, well, rust. Here's a overlook of the whole painted car. But that changed when I wanted to put a dent in the passenger side door. I'm still kicking myself over this and it happened Friday or Saturday. I heated up the door and it got a little too soft. Since the plastic had the consistency of molten lava, my tool pushed right through the plastic with little or no effort at all. I had to set it down and walk away until the next day. Next I placed some styrene behind the hole and puttied over the horrible, horrible mistake. I have since painted over it and tried to make it look like the original. Then I started work on the chassis and interior. I superglued the tub to the interior so it'll never ever come apart again The original front chassis did not agree with the Hemi, the crossmember was touching the oilpan and so were the headers, you just couldn't get around it. So I cut it out. Then I scratch built a simple front chassis based off of a gasser chassis, which seems to work. I just have to add motor mounts and figure out a way to mount a front suspension on it. Thanks for looking, since I haven't had a real update since Wednesday or something like that haha... Advice and recommendations are welcome! -Glenn
