BKcustoms

Thanks for the pictures Bryan! Those are a HUGE help. I'm doing some painting on the engine now, if all goes well i'll have an update later tonight.

Here's a link to some pics of my car. http://s918.photobucket.com/albums/ad21/bkcustoms_bucket/85%20Regal%20build/

Well I've opened the trunk and I managed to finish up the bodywork, all thats left is making the trunk jamb and scribing the door lines and then it's off to the paint booth for some pearl blue. Thanks for looking in.....Billy

Great work Bill! I like how you take the time to make sure everything would work in 1:1, it adds a lot to the realism of the build.

That is Awesome!

Thanks Chas! That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure before I tried it.

This thing is so COOL! you are the CARtoon master!

That turned out great!

It's got a lot of "show" and a lot of "go" what exactly is wrong with that?

This really needs to happen! Honestly, I'm surprised there's not a kit of a late model yet.

Thanks for the link, Charlie! If I ever do this again that's probably how I'll do it, it looks so much easier than what I did and it keeps me from having to rescribe the trunk and door lines. (which I suck at lol)

That chassis turned out great! The stance is perfect.

I love the stretched out look this has! I'll definitely be following.

oops, I just realized this is the wrong section. can someone move this thread please?

Can 2 part urethane clear be used over Model Master enamels? This is the first time I've used enamels and I really don't want to screw it up.

I'll be following this one! I have a glue bomb of this kit that's waiting to be restored, maybe this will be the inspiration I need to get it done!

If the red is transparent (Candy Red) you will get a deep metallic red when sprayed over silver, but if it's an opaque red then the silver will have no effect at all.

Nice project! Let me know if you need any reference pics, I just finished putting a SBC in my 1:1 Regal.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! Here's a couple of pictures of the cuts I made. The wedge cut in the roof was made so I could narrow it in the front since the AMT roof is a few mm wider on both sides and it wouldn't match up with the portion of the Olds roof that I kept. I hope this helps, I'll do my best to answer any questions. ...Billy

Interesting effect with the rainbow flake, I'm interested to see how this turns out!

Well here is something I started working on this week, I chopped the roof off of an AMT 51 Chevy Fleetline and grafted it on to the new Revell 50 Oldsmobile kit to create a 50 Olds fastback. This will be a pretty quick build once I finish the bodywork (it's still in the rough stages) and will be mostly box stock with some custom touches added since I can't ever leave anything alone Anyway, heres the pics. Let me know what you think! ...Billy

Thats one of the nicest black paint jobs I've seen!

Nice job! I really like the green accents.

I picked up that magazine the other day, It's a great looking car.

Amazing work!
