Very nice! can't wait to see it decaled so much i have a 1965 galaxy my first ever Darkside build on my desk!

Mark how was the flares made on that era of car? same as the late 70's?

Amazon I was hesitant to get them but they work well if you have a dehydrator that will help speed up the drying process. Amazon.com: San Jeirie 3Pcs Silver Liquid Mirror Chrome Markers, Permanent Reflective Metallic Chrome Paint Pen, High Gloss Car DIY Model Painting, Touch Up Repair Kit for Plastic Metal Glass Resins : Arts, Crafts & Sewing

Mark, These work well for me about 2 days drying time and the chrome is dry to touch i use it on all my chrome trim cars.

how are you doing the chrome trim around the windows you have added?

that dash is awesome great work!

Nice it will be worth it! I need to use your template method when i do some Pontiac front windshield for sure!

Well I have a lttle more done this car will be hut stricklins Buick tamiya mica blue mocked up the grills to see how it looks will definitely paint the grill frames aluminum

thanks, i usually use 2k clear but hardly ever polish one out.

mark do you like those pads? i seem to burn through when i have used them no matter how light of hand i try to be with them.

Thanks, definitely trying to improve the out of the box brick nose!

A little more work ha been done cleaned up the opening some more and added the lower grill trim laid some filler primer to see where I need the last remaining filler and it will be ready for basecoat

Yeah I think I need to narrow up the sides of the grill frame they seem to big

Well got back to the Buick after looking at a lot of pictures I decided the nose was just to straight up so I took my razor saw and made some angles to give the nose a more aggressive look (it might not look like it in the pictures but there is a slight rake to the nose now) i also worked on the upper grill still in process for sure but I think it’s looking better…….

looking good mark! that blue is nice as well just a little info on the tamiya glue green top i had issues with it (working) until i used a bigger brush (definitely applies more glue) when applying and it works like a champ now. hope this helps you in the future.

wow!

Mark that is spot on yeah i have to build that one!

yeah i have always wanted to do the smokey chevelle at least with his little mods he did to that car.

great build!

Mark you have gotten me wanting to build a 60's era Nascar! looking good with all of the mods especially the wheelwells

Ok I see it now and yes the wicked line of paint is hard to beat

curious as to what acrylic blue basecoat you are going to use through the airbrush?

Mark i see you are knocking another one out of the park! as always learn new things from you.

well done mark! too many things to comment on that you hit out of the park!

I am the same way i never seem to be finished with a build or i notice things too well i guess
