I totally concur Drew....And your cars are drivers.. not trailer queens ;)

To scratch the outside pipes not too hard, to hook them up to the manifolds..thats lotsa time!!

I think the list of judges makes this real!!! THE JUDGES: David Carl Peters, automotive artist and acclaimed model car builder who produced exacting replicas of real drag racing cars for their owners and drivers; Roy Sorenson, publisher/editor of Model Car Builder magazine; Dr. Marc Weller, M.D., longtime contributor to Scale Auto magazine & an avid hot rodder; Drew Hiewarter, Scale Auto columnist & model making authority; Jason R. Sakurai, a longtime modeler & former editor of Scale Modeler magazine; and Stacey David, host/executive producer of Stacey David’s GearZ on Speed Channel, and a builder of hot rods and model cars (“Panelâ€).

I watched the 1:1.....love a blown '32 you will have trouble finding that color.....its custom mixed for Stacey

I've thought over and over about them....I decided to go with the white decal..I think it will break things up

Duplacolor primer in grey. Then shoot a HOK BC26 white basecote and drop color.

Drew...you really gotta get out of the pits and go check out the show and shine.....people really do have mile deep black lacquer on customs I'm not talking stock or racing,,,CUSTOM cars have bling....never seen a suede or dull AMBR winner

Almost there......

Heres the factory correct colors....... http://www.xframeche...evy334/1408.htm

All I build is customs....lots of flake, zing, and zowie!!!! My paint better be a mile deep, yet still show all the details....Lacquer!! "Stock" yet shiny...... DO WHAT YOU WANT!!!!!!

Anyone still on this build??

Christmas at Harrys ???

Thanks Bill...I've been leaning the same way....with all the bling...why hide the wheels :lol:

I finished up the foiling.....wow that took most of the day!! did make some progressive throttle linkage for those deuces!! looks like final paint detail, decals and chrome next....

Looks great! The texture is unique!! I got a similar idea from DamnCranky.....I used paper, white glue, and dullcote. I learned to google image for a pattern, sized it and made enough to fill an 81/2 x 11 inkjet sheet. Printed it out and when dry sprayed it with dullcote.Then I transfered my masking tape patterns to the printed sheet, cut and glued (mix elmers white and water 50/50 ) dip sheet into bowl of gluewater , lay onto area and with Q tips, tweezers, and toothpicks push , prod and adjust to fit.....an electric blow dryer can also be used.... Also works on headliners and doors ...my first try......:

Don't let Harry see this one...it will end up as a ROM!! B)

With the Gold, Either the Green or the Red will look great IMHO. That said I did a Cameo a while back , not 50's, 60's or even 70's style.So try the Green Pearl...this is what I ended up with...:

Shake it slow and easy Rob and all those parts will fit......... ............. ..............
