thanks guys! im back at it this morning....after an all nighter at the bench i am still feelin good, so i think i am gonna shoot some clear on this body before it starts raining today. thanks again stay tuned bryan

i think its time for a little nap.......its been a long time since i pulled an all nighter at the workbench.......ill be ready to clear this thing when i get up. as always thanks for lookin guys, and your comments and suggestions are appreciated. good nite! -_- ZZzzZZZZzzzZZ.......... bryan

i was diggin through the "under glass" section and cant find it......do you have a link john? thanks in advance. bryan

ok, ive removed the tape, and this is what i ended up with. i think it came out ok, it got a little wide on me on the rear of the left quarter panel, but thats ok, you cant look at both sides at the same time! LOL thanks for lookin guys, ill wait a couple hours and start shootin clear on it, after i sand it very lightly with some 3000 grit paper to thin out the stripe so it wont take 3 gallons of clear to bury it..... more to come, thanks again for lookin! cheers bryan

thanks Karl! im using 3m blue fineline tape, and 3m green 3/4, and 1 1/2 tape. cheers bryan

wow! my camera is drivin me nuts! its not like i am shaking it when taking pics, i actually have a tiny tripod i use at the bench! i dont know whats goin on with it.........gotta fix it though. thanks for lookin guys, its time for some breakfast! LOL bryan

finally shot the thin red stripe..... that was alot of masking for such a tiny stripe! its a scale 2" wide.......i had it maked off once, but didnt like it, it was way too wide, then i thought about doing a stripe like the cudas used to have with the slashes in them.....i was worried about it bleeding through so i didnt do it...... here is shot red, ill let it dry a bit and then unmask it..... oh and heres the tail light panel in place...... more to come, stay tuned bryan

thats lookin pretty mean! nice work bryan

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! very nice work dario, thats the way i like em.........just a little crusty, but still sweet! really nice build man, not overdone, just right. cheers bryan

i think everyone would agree.....no matter where Cranky is, he needs to get to the workbench!! build something cranky! LOL see ya soon bryan

you know it! BB is incredible.........i cant wait till sunday! cheers bryan

I agree with ray on the sleeper...... this thing is way cool, and so much work to get it to where you are.... im lazy, i woulda bought the resin one! LOL cheers bryan

once i get the workbench cleaned up a little bit, i think this thing will be ready for final masking.......i also noticed, and should have thought ahead, but the vinyl roof has lost some of its detail, so ill have to shoot it with some texture paint... ...what do you guys use?, i have seen some of you using texture paint for vinyl tops, any help is appreciated. stay tuned for more guys! cheers bryan

amazing John!! i love the low angle shot of the front end.........it looks like its ready to bite your face off if you get too close! this thing is beautiful all the way around, paint engine detail, interior.......its just sweet man! cheers! bryan

Thank you Sam! cheers bryan

thanks Ray, Ron, and James! i appreciate the kind words. cheers bryan

Thanks david! cheers bryan

thanks wayne!! and if anyone was wondering, the paint is a chrysler color.....i forget the code, but it is "dark iris" thanks again bryan

sorry for the "semi blurry" pics....something must have gotten changed on my camera, its been takin really poopy pics lately, time to bust out the manual and see whats up with it, so i can take better pics..... cheers bryan

ok, here she is, unmasked. the paintline came out really sharp, now all i have to do is let it dry and shoot on a very thin red stripe to seperate them. here we are with the tape still on her..... and now unmasked! a couple more, a little closer... let me know what ya think guys.... my workbench is a catastrophe! so its time for a little clean up while this thing is drying for the next color! thanks for lookin bryan

ok the second color has been shot on the body, and i shot the decklid as well......stay tuned for the "unveiling" cheers bryan

yea chuck, im going with cutting the skirt lines in, just to break up that 6 mile long quarter panel! LOL i have a couple resin bodies here (speaking of varying thickness) that are pretty much unusable....well, unless i make slammers out of them. keep it goin, its lookin cool, and like someone said, you have the skills to make it right! cheers bryan

ok guys, we are taped and ready to shoot the second color! wish me luck....... more to come! cheers bryan

ok, i`ve started tapin the body for the second color..... i didnt want a straight line down the body, so i mirrored the upper body line 6 scale inches below it. i like it, its not straight, and it follows the curve nicely. im using 3M blue fineline tape, i hope i dont get any "bleed through" heres the line 6 scale inches below the upper one.... a straight line would have been boring, unless the body was straight...... more to come guys, im on a roll tonight.......i didnt realize it is 2am! LOL thanks for lookin bryan

If you know Chuck Ellis, i do believe he casts slant 6`s, hes a mopar nut....i can shoot him an email of your interested. i have one of them here somewhere, id have to find it to show you a couple pics.... but what i can remember they are really nice. let me know and i will get in touch with him, or if i can find mine, we can swap something for it....let you know when i find it. keep it goin, it looks great so far, i love wagons! cheers bryan
