Beautiful job, Tim.

Thanks, Gerald. That was my take on Tim's 1-1 car.

Finally finished this one up. Resin 69 Skylark kit from EBAY. Modified to be a 68 with scratch built hood and fender gills and trim. Scratch built resin custom interior. Monogram GSX 455 engine. Resin hubcaps and steelies from Missing Link resins. Fireball Motor Works tires and brake calipers. Model Car Garage photo etch emblems. Revell 68 Chevelle chassis, frame, radiator, exhaust and shroud. Embossing powder carpet, cellophane windows. Revell chrome paint with clear. Bare metal foil (a really bad job by me). PPG Omni acrylic enamel paint over Dupli-Color filler primer and Mr. Surfacer fine primer in Cameo Cream. Ray's Kits engine compartment decals and selective Molotow chrome paint. Rust Oleum texture black on the vinyl top.

I just noticed the vinyl top is all wrong on the roof pillar. I guess my 69 to 68 conversion is a little off since I used the vinyl top molded on the 3D print of the 69.

Very slow progress on this one. Painted the body. I have repainted the chrome three times now. It fingerprints very easily it seems. Never got the hood to fit right in the corners. Worst BMF job ever. It fought me all the way and it still looks bad. Engine turned out good. I still need to put the radiator hoses and air cleaner in. Finish the radiator shroud. Add the mirrors last. Chassis turned out fine. I have to get the body sitting right on the frame and attach the back bumper without screwing up the finish.

Very nice! I love colors that are different than the norm.

I'd say that was a lot of talent-a beautiful job!

Very nice!

Very cool!

Ordered some today.

I may try thinning it and see what happens.

That would make sense because Future is an Acrylic product. I may try spraying it and see what happens. Thanks for the tip.

Has anybody used a clear coat over Revell chrome spray? It says acrylic on the can and I have noticed it will rub off if handled. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I feel your pain. I spent more time in both Skylark builds on the hoods than the rest of the builds! And they still don't fit right. In my latest build I thought I had it fixed so I painted the car and it STILL does not fit right. I hope you did not take the comment as a slight on the build because it wasn't. I remember guys having Mavericks in the day ( the Ford version) but they were 302 cars if I remember right. Cool little cars fixed up and your build, as I said, could have been on the street then.

In looking at the car, a cool build that would have been running around the street in the day. In looking at the hood it seems the corners don't fit right. Did you have fitment issues with the hood or is it just the way I'm seeing it? I have built two 3D Buick Skylarks and had the same hood fit issues. There is a Javelin build in the in progress forum-same hood fit issues. Is this something in the printing process? I'm not familiar enough with how it works.
