im pretty much working with one goal in mind to get a presentable affordable Gbody Cutlass casted, i could use your guys help in getting in touch with Jimmy Flintstone to cast it since he can meet the demand and keep the cost low. i started with a monte carlo cause it looks right as a cutlass than the regal. the surgery would be a lot easier as well. im calling it the 88.5 because i dont intend on making a dead accurate cutlass just bringing it up to date

Fords reply, our truck survived a "real" tornado

on a sidenote the location of the shoot was west detroit so no special effects were used

yeah that sucker was a chore only thing i left alone was the hood because its bad enough to look glassed

i didnt want a white white so i mixed classic white with sand beige to get a off white

did some painting, the top is classic white with a few drops of sand beige to give it a off while look , i racked my head the whole day wether to do scallops or panels i got mess of tape the size of a soft ball from all the patterns i tried and didnt like. i still gotta mask off the sides.

man thats beautiful

yup, thats the dark red over the crimson, ill do a stoplight red on a later build it does look good in bottle probably a 58 impala

all fixed

i never thought of chargers as the metallic paint having type i wanted a solid red for this just finding one that worked without it being "loud" was a problem

im totaly digging the fastback 57 idea

i tried the spoon test with gloss and it looked like ###### so i went to the store and got some testors dark red and im much happier now this was shot over the crimson

nice it would go harder if you left the B pillar off or painted it black

i changed the color to testors dark red im much happier with the result

kinda what i want http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y281/charger4404spd/Charger/red-backleft.jpg what i dont want http://www.hodgerestorations.com/gallery2/68%20charger%20maroon0009.JPG

one half my brain says its red primer then the other half is saying its maroon(british crimson) has anyone ever painted a car this color and had it come out good? i have stop light red metallic if all else fails but i for some reason cant see this color as a gloss color.

very nice stuff

cost, other than flexibility i dont notice the difference

fixed im happy and its DONE

heres the roof before with the damage made visible attempt one was a massive fail, in theory the testors is supposed to be "hot" to the spray glue it is but i sprayed it too light it only worked on a small part but because i sprayed too light, 2nd attempt was a success

im fixing that right now ill fix the wipers too

its great im thinking of buying a second one when the funds are right, its 80s so expect 80s detail it was once motorized but you cant tell after its built. i was gonna do white but now im between black and off white
