65 Chevy Make Over

I like the colors, nice weathering job by the way. -
Kerry, Im not sure how far you are from Antigo, WI, but there is a big 2 day derby there next weekend.
-
Skip now that you say that, yes it does have that piece. I was wondering about what went there, I just happened to over look the part when I was putting it together. I stayed up late lastnight, the car didnt get finished but it was atleast made presentable for today. I still need to finish multiple things on it. Anyways heres what it looks like.

In all honesty most cars that people derby now are not desirable cars. Now I will say there are some 50s and 60s mercurys, edsels, mopars and Lincoln's that I probably wouldn't derby. Majority of the people run 80&newer crown Vic's, 70s gms and mopars. That's not a desirable car but to a limited number of people and they have every opportunity to buy them.

I decided to go with yellow on the car. The body, dash, rear seats are drying right now. It wont be completely finished for tomorrow but it will be presentable.

I'm just trying to post a picture on my phone. I will have more pictures in the morning. And it didn't work.

I striped the body overnight and nothing is wrong with the body. I started painting it again.

It's a Tamiya kit.

Yea I have a 78 monaco I will build.

As the model sits, the motor and suspension is done. I will get some pictures of those tonight. I am attempting to get this car done by saturday for a contest. I have the interior in paint right now. I was painting the body last night and my paint messed up. I was using valspar because I always have good results with it. However for some reason when I used a can last night the paint was very coarse and looked like sandpaper. Im gonna give it another shot tonight.

Mine arrived the other day, its a nice simple kit. Im building it for Derby City Shootout towards the end of July. I will probably start a thread up soon for it. Im going to build it similar to this.
-
The first picture is just a mockup but I should have it done tonight. Got several small things to do but I made a lot of progress last night. I had to keep the striping simple on the dash. I dont know if I could have done anything much more complicated. I also had a bit of a setback. I managed to drop the other headlight on my floor. I going to try and find it tonight so we will see how that goes.

Here's my beer bottle shifter. A guy had sent me a scale case of beer bottles so I pulled them out and cut them apart. I still need to touch up the paint on the door panels and my fingerprints on the dash but I tried some striping. Once I do the dash I might do some on the body if I feel like. It has been pretty difficult so far. Im gonna finish up the interior tonight. The truck should be done this weekend.
-
Thanks for the comments. Ive had quite a few people tell me the other wheels/tires looked better but I am gonna stick with these for now. I got the interior mostly painted. Came up with a unique shifter for it and tried my hand at pin striping. It honestly hasn't turned out too bad. I will have some pictures tomorrow.
