I'm calling the interior done. There was no seat back for the front bench so I fabbed one out of 2 pieces of scrap styrene and a skinny strip. I flocked the carpet and package tray and hand painted the dash and vents with flat black then detailed them with the 1mm chrome pen. I hand painted the simulated wood with brown enamel. Also added the turn signal lever from a piece of stick pin. for giggles I wanted to see how the 2 colors play off of each other. I dont hate it.

That looks like it could turn over. Very cool

I'm new to buff and polish, I learn by doing and I make due with what I have on hand so, for this project I applied 3 coats of clear. Then sanded with 600, 1500 then 3000 wet. Then used Novus 2 followed by Scratch X. Both are probably close to the same thing, who knows? Then lastly i hit the body with lemon Pledge. This is what I ended up with. At a club meeting last month a fellow used a ceramic coating on his MGB. It was beautiful. You could see clear into next week with that finish. I'm looking into it.

Very shiny. Great build. This does not look like a 50 Chevy. ?

At the Bel Air, MD Parade. Looks like part '62, part '67 with a modern windshield

Well, I use craft acrylic paints almost exclusively. What I do is squirt a drop of flat black into a bottle cap along with a healthy splash of water. I mix it up with a brush then wash the chrome parts to give them some depth. I'll let them dry and lightly go over the chrome that stands out with a stiff q-tip to reveal their shine.

I picked this up at a show last month. It was a bag of parts in a gallon freezer bag. It had 3 wheels and the engine was missing. It was previously painted dark blue but had been stripped with the exception of the rear valance. I once again tried this crafy acrylic pea green metallic pearl. This time I mixed it up 4:1:1 alcohol, distilled water, paint and shot it at 30psi. It was a slow go but I got it done. Next I shot 3 coats of Duplicolor clear. Before paint, I did rub on the emblems with BMF. After, I removed the paint from the emblems with a mini q-tip drunk with alcohol. I darkened up the grill and wheels with a black wash and sprayed the interior gloss white. The wood grain is contact paper. I added a shift lever using a stick pin.

You know me too well David. Wide and low.

Great color scheme. Nice job!

No build thread for this one. It seem I'm getting lazy about making them lately. I got this along with a handful of others from a buddy years ago. He had used a testors green from the rattle can. Well, I like blue so I blew it all apart and stripped everything. I used craft acrylic metal flake paint mixed 2:1 with alcohol and shot at 20psi. The clear is 4 coats of Duplicolor. The interior is painted with my gloss mix of black acrylic. And the details are from a chrome pen. The carpet and package tray is black flocking. I removed the 350 and wedged in a 396 which I cast in resin. I added carburetor linkage, a throttle cable, heater hoses, fuel lines, plug wires with boots and a rubber radiator hose. I also used some wire ends for the velocity stack and exhaust tips. I made all the glass from blister packaging. You'll see there are no wipers, side mirrors or door handles. These are lost. When I get a new set, I'll put em on. Thanks for looking

Super clean. Liking the color
