    Body was clear coated and the decals were then added and 2 coats of clear was added. I wish I hadn't put the decals on the black didn't look good for the emblems silver or Chrome would have been better than black on all the emblems. As you can see it is just as shiny as the Corvette was after I rubbed it out and put a gelco on it. The exhaust system I fabricated from what they had on the kit the bottom photo is what I was shooting for this car to look like from the rear it gives it a realistic look for a Grandpa's car at least Southern California. ?????? If any of you have a chance watch the documentary called "Where They Race" lot of old footage in this documentary????

    Hi The car body I used a dark grey primer the headers are the grey I used first then went to a white primer. The hood and fire wall l used the white primer and then sanded it wasn't until the yellow I noticed relief in till yellow if I would have noticed it in primer I would have used some patch filler so I had to give it extra coats and sanded. All the paints are used on this car I've never used before spraying the yellow and clear coat we're not like Dupli-Color paint the only thing Dupli-Color was the adhesion promoter.

    All the paint is drying on the body I also was working on the interior I was using a new brand of paint I was not happy with the way it was drying semi gloss after a week it would leave fingerprints on the surface. The console I changed it from what looked like by adding real wood l use masking tape for pattern making for the insert. When I pulled off the tape so did the Chrome came off well that's okay it saved me from having to strip it when I go to glue the wood in. I was reading one of the sections where they were talking about how to remove the Chrome off of the pieces one person said easy off oven cleaner another said another thing hey try masking tape on this kit it does wonders. ????

    With the motor in the chassis I started on fabricating the exhaust system and put in the differential and traction bars.

    Hey Greg How did it turn out? I thought you said it worked out great these last photos if that's primer it didn't look that bad not like that red oxide. Have you done any more?

    I'm going by what I remember in 1966 I knew some Grandpa's with Novas one was Butternut Yellow it's my favorite color for Chevelle's and Chevyll that's the GM name for the color. This my first car after a 3-4 year period and was thinking 51 Chevy and wasn't watching what he was doing primaring the detail away the paint is beautiful the detail that you're expecting to see isn't there. The hood as a scar where you're supposed to cut out for the scoop I didn't notice it I used a white primer and it head the scar.

    The compliment is well appreciated but there was one problem when I went to do the air cleaners painted I put them on masking tape sticky side up and then shot the paint after I got everything done I went to pull them off in a long came to Chrome with it I have one other incident but that comes later.

    I started this before the Corvette I had to quit because the paint was still too soft while I was foil wrapping it and left fingerprints so I've started back on it through the different steps I will tell you little bits about each photo. Today's photo I'm starting with a single shot step one in the instructions engine. I wish they would make an intake manifold to have dual quads and keep them under the hood I had to take that ram welands and cut it down until it was under the hood and I hope I got it right.

    Hey Karl I don't know if you've ever seen this before but it's also something I've had for quite a while because I too like Hudson's this is a 1930 Hudson with 2 blown Hornet V8. If one of the model car companies ever build a Hornet with V8 here's a good example which you can do.

    I'm sorry I found I had more time in what I was doing and I was able to edit the photos

    I finally finished the 60 Corvette as much as I bellyached about building it I feel that it turned out quite nice I picked the right color. I'd sure like to hear from you folks how you feel about the Corvette if you feel the same way as I do I'd sure appreciate the comments.

    I hope you know I was kidding! I did a 32 Mercedes one's and it was fun to do. Have you seen a V12 Packard? Hoping to see some of the progress you're doing on it.
  16. Stanward VonDiederichs
    U are going to have a lot of fun building this kit I had quite a few photos of this car that I just deleted about a month ago from a museum. Also Eleanor Roosevelt's 1932 Plymouth Town Car it was beautiful. Are you going to keep it stock or drop V8 in it????
  17. Stanward VonDiederichs
    Here's the back view as of today I'm happy with the tail lights I should have put them in when it was still white plastic instead of after. Now I'm working on trying to get the seats fitted in.

    If you end up spraying it that color would you take a suggestion? Take the spray can and stick it under a hot water faucet and bring it up to baby bottle temperature then spray you might like the results.

    The color I remember it being is about the same color as the Stone, Woods and Cook car a light dark powder blue metallic it's an old '60s color.
  20. Stanward VonDiederichs
    I want one too but not at that price. I didn't know they made one.???
  21. Stanward VonDiederichs
    I would love to build one of these I remember reading Hot Rod magazine about the white car. I been a fan since the 50s

    I'm glad you guys really have enjoyed this post because it does show promise as a real neat looking miniature. I have so many different photographs I used to belong to one of the clubs but I got tired of people taking other people's posts for their posts instead of going and looking it up themselves the owner I asked you one day how many photos do you see at a visit he said all about 5 or 10 he was surprised when I told him when I go looking I get between 35 to 100 photos of good stuff. I used to go to a lot of the car shows in the area not too much anymore it's kind of hard for me to get around I'm getting too old I have about 10 SD cards filled with car shows here's a few that I've attended. I also found a photo of the second owner of Star Teaser and a photo with the body being painted without the lettering

    Go to YouTube see the video that I put down it's got the car in it the very first car shown in the video it's really too bad the damn woman stood up just at the finish line so you couldn't see the time. I wish I could tell you more about the Jag motor but I've had this for a long time and I forget if you look it up start teaser if you do the digging it's in there and answer all your questions because the section with the motor they had all that information.
  24. Stanward VonDiederichs
    Ohh if you go to YouTube look up this "UK Drag Racing 1975-76 Santa Pod, Wroughton, Blackbushe and Snetterton" Nick Pettitt

    Here's a photo of the original one. The car was then sold and I believe it was the second owner who redid the car and built a whole new chassis for it and put a fiberglass body I was trying to look at some of those early photos and I couldn't find them right now I got too many. The third owner gave it to paint job of today.
