thank you for the kind words! I did take some pictures along the way, not sure why I didn't post them here. I first started with a primed body and my arsinal of washes. I use various techniques using rust, black and earth tones , usually puddle it on the top parts and brush them down the sides. These washes dry pretty thin, so you can afford to be kind of heavy. I followed that with a coat of dullcote to seal it before the next step. I use water base paint for the next step so your techniques can vary, I did spray some hair spray in a cup and brushed it onto spots I knew I didn't want paint to stick (I don't think I needed to with this particular paint though) I then sprayed my color. then using a stiff artist shading brush, some water and my secret weapon (windex) I started the scary part. Start small and try to think of how the paint would really peel, I was careful to try and have the effect stop at panel lines to try and hide what it was I was actually doing. after that I did a bit more washing and shading, and sealed it all with a dullcote/clear mix

Worked on the front and rear details, after taking a break from trying to clean up those stacks. I'm having trouble cleaning the joint where the stacks were glued to their bases. And then I dropped one and bent the tip. Might be a sign... taillights painted, rear bumper sprayed with dullcote and added a bunch of grime same treatment on the front bumper and we can say I'm on a yellow headlamp kick.

Awesome! I love it already. I've had a 37 for ages I wanted to make a short little rod from, so I am watching this one for sure!

Couldn't resist throwing the steering wheel on and mocking everything up again
-
While paint was drying I decided to do something with those front wheels, instead of trying to mask everything or brush paint the windows in the wheels, I sprayed the whole wheel and removed the paint from the face of the wheels with a pointed tamiya swab and some windex

So I had the day off today, and my girlfriend was busy. It's safe to say progress was made. Stated the day off by foiling the trim, shooting some clear on the body and painting a bunch of various parts. Interior going together, went with the black and white, and of course had to "tone down" the white a bit Gold flake steering wheel and matching shifter ball Major sub assemblies together and it was time for a food break.

that is fantastic

Got some paint on the bar, working on detailing it a bit, trying to simulate weld burns. I know you won't see it in this, but it's good practice for my 41 build.

Didn't see that coming, love that rust finish
-
Very well done!
-
Finished up amazing

yeah, that's would be a better question for Eric, I'm sure he will chime in here soon. It is different than your typical evergreen. Solvent doesn't seem to like it as much, but it bends super nice

Eric gave me a few sticks of his eBay find .080. It works quite well for this roll bar I whipped up this morning. Quite happy with it.

Pictures do not do this thing justice

So paint happened today.. Also still can't decide on the scoop or the stacks. I'm going to keep playing with the scoop.
