bluestringer

Looks great. Like the color.

Looking Good. Nice color.

Looking good. Nice work.

Nice.

Another color coat and 2 coats of clear............

Looking good. Pretty sure that's a 396. I think the 409 had a dual snout air cleaner. The 65 Impala was the first year of the new 396 engine and I think the 409 was discontinued.

Thanks. Yea, I knew the routing would be off, just wanted to be sure they terminated at the right location. Drilling those little coils packs was a chore, did the best I could. I still need to do some touch up painting. The instructions did call for semi-gloss black on the lower plenum but I just used what I had. I may can dull it down some with some dullcote, but I'm not really going for precise accuracy, just wanted the wires to end somewhere close to plugs.

Looking online at images of this 4.6L Ford engine, it looked like the plugs were at the top of the heads. I hope that's correct, that's the way I ran the wires.

I was going for a burgundy/maroon. Used Createx Transparent Deep Red over a black base. Think I need to put on another coat. Have not put on the clear yet, should look ok after I get it on.

Thanks Bob. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Looking great. Nice work. I need to find me a Revell 66 kit and see if I can replicate my first car.

LOL.....yea, I'm running out of room for my stash and wanted to get a few out of the way so I can buy some more. This one will be slow as the weather has got too cool for me to stay in my work shed for very long. Hope to get it painted this in a few days.

Started this today. Paint will be Createx Transparent Dark Red. Straight OOB build. All comments welcome.

Calling it done, warts and all. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Calling it done. Going under glass.

Test fitting the body.........

Looks great. Nice work.

Looks fine to me. A simple two tone that goes together great. Get that chrome on there, it's going to be a looker.

Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you.

Great job on the foil.

Thanks. Thank you. I like the muscle cars also. I usually jump back and forth between the hot rods and muscle stuff.

Thanks. You are right. I may just make it a dune buggy...........LOL.

Been following this for a while. This is some impressive work. I never even realized scale car modeling could be taken this far. Fantastic.

Man I hate these floaters. I spent 15 minutes the other day chasing one around with a fly swatter. Bob, your paint job looks great, hope the foil holds. I need to improve my paint jobs, the floor polish clear coat I use is just not working, maybe I need to air brush it. Better yet I think I need to find a good spray can clear.

Looks great. Nice work.
