  1. Don't you hate when you have fitment issues..... I didn't find this one till late in the game, when the front bumper didn't want to fit properly. This issue is totally my bad for missing it....
  2. Excellent work.....???
  3. Wow, the roof really stands out. ?
  4. Discontinued and very hard to find Super Deep, Staggered Fujimi Wire wheels given to me by my very good friend @Hondamatic Time to set the ride height and get these mounted on the 59 Cadillac.
  5. Thanks buddy! Yes, I found some at a local hobby shop here in Honolulu. I'm experimenting with it on different colors I have on hand on sprayed spoons. So far I'm really liking what I see. Thank you so much for sharing the info with me. ?
  6. Chassis meets body, and a few engine bay detail work.....
  7. Looks great for your first time.
  8. Thanks Steve, that's so cool how the color changes so drastically. I'm heading to the hobby store today to look for that Mr. Hobby super smooth matte! Thanks again for sharing... Aloha, Derek
  9. Dude!!! I absolutely love this satin metallic red! What company produces this paint, or is it sprayed with semigloss clear? It's beautiful!
  10. Tub is finally in the body.... The clear coat has been sanded with 6k, 8k, 10k, and 12k wet. Hasn't been ceramic coated yet.
  11. Very good information!!! I wish I seen this while I was working on my Chevrolet Pickup Truck. I had to test fit everything as I built.
  12. Mockup..... 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser with 18 inch Rallies.
  13. Shot Splash Paints 2k Clear this afternoon.... 20230208_124443.mp4 20230208_124532.mp4 First video is in the sun, Second video is in the shade. Now to let it fully cure so I can sand her down.
  14. The dashboard is finally ready for the interior tub. 20230207_155039.mp4
  15. Okay, after looking at my test spoons shot with a couple of different color pearls, I've decided to leave the Tropical Glitz "Coral Reef" base coat alone and shoot 2k clear right over it. Thanks everyone for your input ?
  16. Another test fit....
  17. So, I mentioned that I would change up the dash just a little bit. I really wanted to bring it to about 1979 with a Cassette Deck..... Not everyone will agree with this, but I like it. I'll probably throw a Cassette tape on the trans hump or something.....
  18. Yes, I've been testing on spoons. I haven't decided if I want any flakes or pearl to the base coat yet. And yes, leaving it as is is also a real option. ?
  19. Thanks, I'm changing up the dash a little....
  20. More interior stuff....
  21. Took a break from this build to do Tom Daniel's Red Baron. Now the 59 Cadillac is back on the board. First up, finish up what I can on the chassis, then on to the interior
