bluestringer

I've decided on a 396 chevy engine for mine and am waiting on one I ordered from ebay. Have you decided on a color for yours?

Thanks. Thanks Mike. Thanks Bob. I kinda rushed through it and didn't update my WIP very often. I like the coupes too, but they are more finicky to build than the high boy version IMO.

On the bench.....................................comments welcome........

Things didn't go too good with this kit, fenders, body, hood didn't fit right. Had a heck of a time with the headlights and bumpers. Who cares, it is what it is. Comments welcome.

Do you want the treaded tires or slicks? I have a set of white letter slicks that are 2 piece units you can have. Don't know if they will work for your application, they came from a Ford modified series kit.

Looking good Bob. I did a mock up just a few weeks ago planning the same thing with the extra 55 I've got. The Chevelle frame fits in good with just a little modification. My problem is I've already used the Chevelle engine in my pro street truck I did and I don't have another Chevy engine. I'm thinking of making the bow tie fans cringe and put in a Hemi engine I've got laying around.

Interior........

Chassis is rolling.............

A little mock up to see where I'm at. Looks ok. Almost got the chassis done.

Thanks Bob. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks Mike.

Brushed on some clear..........

Looking good Bob.

Thanks. Thanks. I will clear it with Revive It floor polish. Thanks Mike. It's Createx AirBrush colors opaque purple. Not the Wicked, just their regular color line. Did you airbrush the Future or brush it on? I'm thinking of brushing mine, not sure about running through my airbrush.

Going with the carbed Ford engine.

The Henry J is looking good Bob. Nice work, keep it up.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks John. I'm sure yours will turn out better, I've saw some of your work, really nice builds. Be careful with the decals, I had problems with some of them breaking apart.

Thank you.

This purple looks blue in these photos.

Great. Do you got a WIP started?

I will be starting this soon. It was a Christmas gift and will be my first big rig kit build. I will probably have lots of questions along the way. Thanks.

Thanks Bob. Thanks. Thanks. It's Wicked Colors Pearl Black. Thanks Mike. I tried the Createx Gloss Top Coat again. Still not getting the gloss I'm looking for. Revive It floor polish has looked the best to me so far. Thanks.

I've got some black but haven't used it yet. I used my Paasche H ( not sure but it's probably a .5) to spray the white and yea it went rough in spots, not very smooth. I was spraying around 30-35 psi. I actually did try it on the 32 body and it was going on really rough so I stopped and washed it off. I may try it again on something but I will thin it a little more. I'm using their 4011 reducer. I put the purple on with a Paasche Talon ( #2 tip and needle, .38 I think) and it sprayed good with just a little thinning.

I used their white AutoBorne sealer under it. It was the first time I had tried it, but I didn't care for it much. It doesn't spray well or I didn't thin it enough. I haven't painted the body yet and I will probably just go back to my regular Rustoleum primer.
