  2. after messing up the paint job on the one side and the re-trys! i just couldnt get it back into color so i went with a tu-tone color which made more sense. Dark color grey was the color of choice. afewminor details and shes done for real this time......
  3. Thanks James! I use Super clean aswell,I think the key here is i always get busy and forget i have stuff in the lake......and most times it doesnt take the paint off,I did acouple 70s ford trucks and they didnt get to clean but clean enough to primer and everything should be ok.......
  4. AWESOME Vette Jeff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that color combo is tops in my book!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wanna do a 1976 to 9 Camaro in that color scheme.........
  5. Nice color!!!!!!!! looks great on that drop top!
  6. This one was pretty messed up! I ytried and tried to get it back into shape but old plastic didnt take kindly to the hair dryer. So i went a different way and cut it clean out of there! Cleaned up the Area and after modifying one from a revell-o-gram 1965 Impala Convertible. i think it worked out pretty well!!!!!! might look a tad tall but i think it is ok! and looks more correct.
  7. Here's acouple more inprogress shoots. The glue ont he lower front fenders was pretty thick, but i was able to sand it back to almost smooth again (both sides were like this) A nothing fancy interior, paint brite red then shot with testor's dull coat custom lacquer rattl can. Off to look for some red line tires,and i will be using the 7 Litre wheel covers. and the engine (hope i can find one LOL)
  8. Looks like the A-piller has been repaired acouple of times.Nothing major here,except the omitted Vent post. I have the A-piller back in place and started work ont he Vent post, Awhile back i started makin them out of two pieces of sheet stock, for better detail and less work sanding and filling. The worst part on this project was the custom panel on the back,it was really glued on!
  9. First picture is how a friend got the lot and i ended up with two of them. Top left is the galaxie and the '66 impala is the purple one with the goofed up windshield frame.... Here's how the Galaxie looks now,(will do another post later on on each subjects) Heres the Impala
