Quiet Eric

Thanks Donny! It's '67 Pontiac Regimental Red.

Clear coated, vinyl top sprayed (it isn't the greatest, but it'll do). About ready for foiling and assembly.

This one was inspired by a picture. I have another picture of this car somewhere but can't find it. The chassis started as an AMT '65 Chevelle funny car. Revell '32 front suspension, while the rear is out-of-box. Lots of fab work on the cage and chassis tubing. The body is a "defect" resin I found on ebay. The color is a mix of a couple Tamiya shades and the decals are from a few different Slixx sheets covered with a 2K clear straight out of the can. Bumpers and lights are Fusion Firm while the door handles and emblems are Molotow (I forgot to do the rear script and nose emblem before these shots, but I'm not taking new pictures!). I tried to mask the interior cover before I cleared and accidentally pulled off part of the Doug's Headers decal on the passenger side, so the u and the g got hand painted and then I just cleared everything. A lot of pictures here but I'm pretty excited with how it turned out! Doh...I forgot gauge decals too. And the starter and oil filter. And the tie rod! I guess it's back in the shop, but you get the idea.

I saw it on the 'gram earlier but love seeing big pictures on the computer. Really cool build Dennis!

Went ahead and cleared these two.

I've also been doing some paint work. Got my '70 GS in basecoat. There is a '70 Stage 1 prototype painted a one-off color they called "fireglow pearl." I tried to replicate that using Petty Day-Glo Red with some pink pearl over that. It just looks orange here, but once it's cleared and in the sun I think it will really pop. That was the last one that needed basecoat before I tried out some 2K clearcoat for the first time. I got my GTO and the Corvair cleared. I'll clear the Buick and my pro street Camaro tomorrow.

Spotted this one yesterday, local college vehicle. Not the coolest thing in the world but I always appreciate something like this in such good shape for it's age.

It's a thing of beauty John.

Now we're talking! Even an overhead banger would be losing a lot of its power trying to make those slicks spin. An Ardun and a ScOT change things!

I love that interior.

My jaw literally dropped. Excellent, excellent build. I have a huge soft spot for a Cutlass S.

Turned out great!! I would have been tempted to start over with another body. Really turned that one around.

This one wont get a build thread as there's not much to it...but the GSX kit being built as a GS Stage 1 with a special color. Got rid of the hood tach and chin spoiler, otherwise being built out of the box. G60-15 Goodyear Polyglas tires from Mean Machine Models.

I missed this one being finished, looks great! Reminds me I need to finish a similar '55 wagon project.

Absolutely killer!

I sure don't plan on making a habit of this detailing, what a pain! I wouldn't say it was enjoyable, or that its entirely accurate...but on a racecar, it's hard to avoid. Injector lines, fuel pump lines, added the steering linkage, valve cover breathers, fuel tank filler, a shifter, and a fire extinguisher. Likely the last update until it's finished though it might be a few weeks before the body is wrapped up.

Are those drag radials???

A couple old Fords today... Really clean Fox body LX convertible in Emerald Green And a '28/'29 Tudor in well earned patina

I'm sure you've seen this one before, but in case you hadn't... Perhaps pancaking the hood would help give you some room to blend the new headlight surrounds in on the inside. But what you've got is looking good.

Thought I'd be taking a break on this one while I got another one in paint but changed my mind on the color for that one, so I've been knocking out the chassis. Made a lot of stupid mistakes that I had to sort out, the biggest problem being having the chassis, floor, and cage all glued together but wanting them different colors. Went with silver for the bars and black for the floors. Ended up spraying everything silver, then brush painting the black. It's not my finest work but it'll do. And of course there's stuff that fit fine in mock up but gave me trouble now like the drivers side header. The magneto is from Detail master. I plan on doing the barrel valve and fuel lines, and it still needs a few more parts installed along with some detail painting and touch ups, but I got to a good stopping point.

I have seen those before and almost ordered them because I really like their American SS wheels/tires, but never noticed the 4 lugs. Pretty cool!

I just noticed those wheels are 4-lug...where did you find those??

I've posted about the '57 before, but it has changed a lot since the last time it was on the road. Of course that was around 3 years ago. I've also been working on this '64 El Camino. It's a full frame off. Lots or rust repair, suspension work, 9" rear. 6.0LS. But it's been pretty hard for me to find the motivation to get out in the garage the last couple years. Much easier and quicker return on my effort building models!

Oooooooooh man. That is cool.

You're nailing it on this one. Always been one of my favorite customs.
