did you reinforce them with some thin brass rod Dave? id hate to see it come apart on ya, it looks so freakin good! the frame is totally cool! i have one of these kits, but im afraid to chop it apart like you did............yea i know im a chicken! LOL bryan

oh man! that came out soooo nice! the black with those fat whites looks so cool nice work! bryan

here ya go Jake, heres how i make "streaks" heres the thinned out "raw sienna" just touch a small brush where you want it to start....... taake the brush and drag it straight down..........very lightly... then i hit it extra lightly with some rust powder.......and thats that buddy......a nice long rust streak that took about 5 minutes. hope this helped ya! bryan

yea Ray, you should! once you do you`ll never go back! hey even shiney cars have dirt on them somewhere right? i know once i started weathering, thats all i wanted to do.... dont get me wrong, i loce shiney cars too, but theres just something about it i really enjoy.. cheers bryan

jake, do you mean the streaks? or just the spots? the streaks i make by thinning out some rust colored paint, usually raw sienna, and i take a very thin brush and just touch it on there where i want the streak.....blow downward on it, or you can also use one of those cans of "duster", i usually use a hair drier...... when i get to the other side of this, ill make sure i take a few pics of my process so you can see what i mean..... bryan

speaking of rotted out junk! LOL ok well not rotted out........ here is my next project. i have had this body done for a while, and i now have the kit coming to finish it. there are no holes in it, its just all surface rust.... its gonna be a forgotten gasser..... im not sure what im going to do to the engine and frame yet, but it wont be totally rusted out, probably light rust, and lots of gunk on the drivetrain...... lookin like it has been sitting outside under a tarp for a very long time! this one is comin soon..........tune in then. bryan

thanks Jon, glad ya like it........ the weathering is my favorite part of building! i just love weathering........im tryin to keep this one subltle tho, it wont be a totally rotted out junk pile! LOL bryan

KOOL! cant wait to see what ya cook up! bryan

the drivers side and the rear have been weathered........im tryin not to gunk this one up too much, so its basically just dirt! with a little grease around the right parts, and a touch of rust.. more to come, lemme know what ya think! bryan

ok, ive got the driver & pass doors done! weathered, and shot with a coat of dull sealer! now its on to weathering the body! bryan

thanks Joe, its gonna be a little while before i can finish it tho. im out of some things that i need, so it will have to wait a bit. cheers bryan
