bluestringer

Something went wrong with my clear.....what do I do now.......start over? I used this Rustoleum lacquer on another body before this one and it turned out great, Don't know what happened.

Thanks. I'll be using Rustoleum clear lacquer.

I'm going to try foiling some of the trim work this week but was wondering if I should put on the clear before or after foiling.

Thanks Chaz. Thank you.

Looks great. Nice work.

Thanks. I like the craft paints also.

Thanks. I will.

The weather warmed enough so I was able to get in my work shed and get a little done. I finished the engine, headers will go on during the chassis build, and got some painting done. The body is Createx Pearl Green, the interior will be a lighter shade using Ceramcoat Wedgewood Green. Still have to put on the clear. I'll let it sit for a couple days.

Looks great. Nice work. Always did like that show.

I saw yours, it looks great.

Looks great. Nice work.

Thanks. Those are the kit wheels. I shot some metallic aluminum on them. I think they will look good once the paint is on the body.

It certainly turned out nice Mike. Looks great. I like the Pro Street look.

My last 2 builds have been disasters. The 69 Camaro and the 97 Mustang. Both were going good up until the body to chassis install. Could not get either one to fit, I was just breaking off stuff trying to get them right. I'm moving on to something else. This is the AMT 55 Chevy kit. I hope the body to chassis fit is better. I know most of these are done in a two tone paint job, but I'm going a different route. It will be one color from top to bottom, probably Createx Pearl Green. It will also have minimal chrome trim. Two reasons I'm going this way, first I saw one on the internet that was one color and thought it looked great that way, also I'm not good at masking and spraying a two tone paint. The one I saw also had only the main chrome on it, and I do not have enough foil to do it all anyway. I will be going slow with this build as I think I have been rushing my builds too much. All comments are welcome.

Thanks Chaz.

Looks great. Nice work.

Looking good. That stance is great, that's the way we done them back in the day.

Looking great. Nice work on the dash and interior.

No more updates on this one. I'll post some photos in under glass when it's done.

Looking good. This kind of stuff is way beyond my capabilities but I enjoy seeing others work.

Looks great. Nice job on the paint. I hope to start on my 55 in a few weeks.

Cool beans. Nice hot rod. Are those seats from the kit?

Looks really nice. Love that blue. I'm working on a 97 Mustang right now. I don't think I've ever saw this kit at my local HL.

Looks good. Nice work.

Looks great. Like the color.
