Ok fella's. It got to 60 degrees and the humidity was at 59%. Did a little paint testing with Testors paint. When I tried this some months back it did not go well. Using my Paasche H airbrush, Klean Strip Lacquer thinner, Testors red paint in the small bottle. Air pressure was set to 28-32 psi. I am so pleased with how this test turned out that this is my new paint process.

Working on the suspension this morning. I think I have the rear where I want it after cutting the axle tubes down a little but the front tire are hitting the body. I'm sanding down the back of the hubs but not sure if I can get enough clearance.

Gorgeous paint and foil work!
That was quite a novel approach to masking for the stripes. I've used plastic wrap for similar shoots, I will have to keep this in mind for future use.

Thanks Dave. I really meant to paint the white first but that did'nt happen. To much in a hurry to get some paint on the body I guess. I was affraid all the tape on the blue would mess it up but it was fine.

That is pretty nice looking Gene. That yellow looks like it went down nice and smooth. Great job.

Coming along nicely. I like the pic that was posted of the 32 Banger with the oil can mounted to the firewall.

All three will be nice when completed. That long nose Cobra drag car will be kewl. Never tried a 1:16 scale. I alway see the 1:16 1959 Chevy El Camino at HL every time I go there.

Good looking Stude. That green is some nice eye candy.

Nice looking Ford. That black looks slick as glass. All the scripts look fantastic. The video was very well done. Great job.

Some of these are pretty wild and dangerous looking. Heck....back in the day, safety was the last thing on our mind right???

Well, not so good on the foil this morning. That back end like to drove me nuts. Once again the foil didn't want to stay down very good and I pulled it off 3 time and managed to mess the paint up in a couple spots. Not really a good line on the bottom side for the blade to follow. Its on and that's as good as it's going to get. To much foil work on this car for me.

Fun indeed! Lol. I'm thinking stock, orange with the white half vinyl roof, or metallic bronze with an orange swoosh stripe that runs along the side and up over the back of the roof and a set of Mags. I have thought of fitting a hood scoop to the custom hood and go all out with side pipes and raised rear!
Yeah going all out sound good. I can see a straight axle on the front with some big Ol meats on the ass end. Nice looking Gasser. That's just me now.
-
This looks like a fun little project. The hood looks pretty good. What's the plans for this one?

Thank Chaz. I think I need to lay off the coffee when I'm cutting the foil.

That looks really nice Stephen. I like this version over the Fruit Wagon. Great job on the conversion.

That turned out pretty nice Greg. The detailing on those wheels looks great. Super job.
