Back to working on the LJ Torana pro street. While I wait for the opportunity to apply a clear coat to the Pano. Need to get the basic body prep done, then I can work on modifying the rear wheel arch. So same usual process block sanding body, I like using the black surfacer makes it easy to see whats going on and keep track of the surface. Havent done this type of modification before so it will be interesting to see if I can stretch the wheel arch to suit the tyre.

Thanks Stu, Pano's build up good and a few variants to choose from. Worth getting one for sure. The guys YouTube channel is also excellent, he is one of the pioneers of the Street Machine car culture in Australia. He built some brilliant show cars over the years. Very close, hoping to get the clear applied tomorrow. Then il let that settle for week or so. But yeah after that wont take much to get it completed.

Traditional style hot rod. The Maroon would look great Tamiya TS-11 Maroon is a nice colour. An example of that colour I applied to a 69 Camaro The street rod style, like the kit box art. The Red on 40 Ford will look good. Use the Tamiya TS spray cans, they are specifically formulated to use on kit styrene. And are much more user friendly

Have you decided on a colour ??
-
That primer coat is looking decent, should be a good foundation for the colour coats.
-
Paint the dash same colour as the body. Satin/semi gloss for the seats to replicate vinyl material. Matt/flat for the carpet. That should break things up a bit and separate all the components of the interior.

Thanks Mathias. Starting to look the part now. Thanks David. Its a very nice colour with excellent coverage. With some extra effort and details the engines in the DDA kits present well. That 50 Pontiac Sedan Delivery would be a rare sight im sure. The Panel Vans are a rare sight, but there is still a yearly show with massive culture

Thanks Bob. Should come to life a bit more once I apply the clear. Thanks Ken. Just trying build something different. There will always be Holden builds to see in my thread, so good that more kits will continue to become available.

Yeah multi purpose vehicles. Also known as shaggin wagons back in the day 😄 Cheers for dropping in to comment Brian. Paint work all starts with the foundation, good prep leads to good paint jobs. It has taken me many years to learn and develop a system that helps me get consistent results. Mr Hobby 1500 Surfacers are excellent primers. Spray can or airbrushed it always lays down smooth once you learn how to apply it. Thanks Bob. Cant go wrong with the Mr Hobby 1500 surfacers, good stuff. It will be a trip back in time, to see the Pano all done.

Super clean build, well done.
-
Im interested and will be following along to see how this builds up. I got the brilliant white version.
-
This one was blue, purple, bright aqua over a gloss black base.
-
Another great custom build. Well done Starting to see your build style, I like it.
-
Good one, shaping up like an Aussie ute. Look forward to seeing the build progress and what you do for the frame.

Thank you very much to all who commented, much appreciated. Yeah I always use this for all my clear coats Clear coat does change the appearance a little bit. It brings out the pearl pigments and reflects light. More than anything with colour shifts, its all about the type of light and viewing angle. The Quasar is a subtle shift compared to others in the SMS Extreme series. The difference you maybe seeing from my wip thread to here, is the camera. Phone camera for wip and Sony Cyber Shot digital camera for under glass images.

Hope things improve for you Carl, have always appreciated your comments over the years.
-
A well thought out build with lots of excellent custom work, well done. Its good to see someone posting mini trucks. Hope to see more of your work and maybe wip.

Nice one. Nailed the look of old school style. Like how you done the rear, with filled in the tail lights and tail gate. Great idea to use that particular decal. Simple kits but they are a lot of fun to build.
