bluestringer

Wow. Fantastic.

Looks great. I like it.

After reading the panel line tutorial on here I tried it for the first time. Back in the day I had never heard of or thought of getting the panel lines to stand out. I think it turned out ok.

Actually that's the decal that came with the kit. I think it's the way the camera depicted it, (I was using a macro lens with a ring light) because it doesn't look that good just looking at it. Also I said it was done but I've yet to add the taillights which are giving me a fit.

Bed is done...............

Looking good. I had the same problem with the wheels and tires in the 65 stepside. They are different sizes for the front and rear, but you can barely tell by looking, only found out when I was mounting the tires on the wheels.

Having problems with my paint. I'm using Rustoleum 2x spray cans and after finishing part of the interior I started getting bubbles and it's been just too thick going on. Then my primer just stopped spraying. My work room is my outdoor shed and it has no AC. The temps and humidity have been terrible here in South Georgia for a few days now, so I'm thinking maybe it's causing the problems. Anyway, here is the almost finished interior.

Wow, that is really nice. Excellent work.

Engine is done, probably need to do a little paint touch up. Getting it wired was a bit tricky, but I think it looks ok. Interior is in primer, hope to get it finished in a couple days.

Looking good. You could try wrapping a strip of tape on the inside of the wheel to tighten it up.

I didn't have any steel paint for the exhaust manifolds, had to order some. I'll try working on the interior while I'm waiting on it to get here. Not sure how I'm going to come out with this wiring I'm trying for the first time.

Nice.

Working on the engine. I'm building the custom straight out of the box, just want to get a few basic builds done before trying to add more details, although I have a pre-wired distributor I may try to install. Going with Rustoleum Spring Green for the exterior and Nutmeg for the interior. I was dry fitting the interior and can't figure exactly how the seat sits in the tub, seems to be a bit awkward.

Got it. Thanks all.

What size wire or what can be used to replicate heater hoses? 1/24 scale.

Very nice.

Nice, looking forward to seeing the build.

Next project..............

Thanks. Here's some better photos. The color is Rustoleum Spa Blue. I left the hood in primer.

Finished the Old Pro drag car. Looks ok, could have been better, but could have been worse. Sorry about the blurry photo, was having problems with my camera, I will post a better one later.

Nice, that's a beautiful green.

Hmm.....108 views but no comments, maybe it looks worse than I thought. I can take the critique, tell me what I need to do to make it look better.

Engine is almost finished. Need to add the fan and distributor. I had thought about trying to wire it but decided against it. I did try to do some weathering on it, not too crazy about the way it looks, but I guess it could be worse. That intake stuff was a bugger, it would not fit together correctly, I tried to correct it but finally just got it on the best I could. Also found out I will need to remove the headers to get the engine into the frame.

Dropped by my local Hobby Lobby today to pick up a few small items with no intention of buying a kit, because I always wait until the 40% off sales. When I got to the aisle I saw the 40% off sign up. I knew it was wrong because the sale went off on the 22nd, and sure enough the sign said ends May 22nd. I ask one of the associates about it and she said get a kit and take the sign with you to check out and they should give you the discount. So I got this...........

Who makes the best pre-wired distributor? I had got one from Gofer Racing when I did the 68 Chevelle, but the wires seemed too stiff and un-manageable. I want to try again when I do the 65 Chevy stepside pickup. I had rather buy the pre-wired instead of trying to do one myself.
