Hello a very close friend of mine asked if I could build him is dream car, I could not refuse.
Its going to be black . Interior will have some red highlights. The engine,Electric fan/rad Exhaust will be from the grand national Kit.
Its going to have nice wide steelies from the amt ford intercptor police car.
I am going to have remount the engine mounts. I figure out the intercooler location.
Here is some picks to start.
Thanks for looking.
Hey Garry .. I think you are right. but at the time I started the trim I think I was all out of flat black. Lets just say there is alot of armour all on that trim,.
and to think of it.. so far that trim was the hardest part of this model.. I think it adds to the realism . But I learned a thing or too about masking. getting better so its still very rewarding. thanks for the Feedback.
Almost Done..
Now all I have to do is get some of this paint from can to bottle to do the much needed touch ups.
Thanks for looking , All comments welcome.
"I actually cut my lenses into 3 parts, filed/trimmed, and re-fit them so they would fit flush and not have a too-long look"
what a great idea I should have thought of that, Maybe when i get some right cutting tools I will do that.
Thanks,
Yes drag it out. Your t bird will look cool under the hood.
Update. well I had to tear the front end off. the lights where just not sitting right, parts sticking out.
So I think I will Glue the Clear glass first then the light housing.
Thanks for looking.
