Thanks guys! Yeah Brodie, its the Lindberg kit. Everything fits together well and its a solid kit to say the least. The kit gives nothing in the way of custom options, but thats not too big of a deal. First off Nate, the spray on chrome is made by Alclad, not Alcad. (Geez, I guess my Boston accent is dropping the Ls now..think I would know how to say what Im selling...) Anyhow, Alclad makes a full line of spray on metal and chrome type simulators. They air brush over a black lacquer base and, in my limited exsperience, give pretty convincing results. The scallops were made using 1/32" fine line (Kustom Paint Shop I believe) tape. After the primer was block sanded down, I misted Testors Diamond Dust over the whole body. Then it was simple as laying down the tape and spraying the Inca Gold. I went with several light coats to minimize build up around the tape. I waited till the gold was almost dry before I pulled the tape. Finally, I carefully sanded the tape lines with 6000 to 12000 before laying down the clear.

Lovin the Olds and 58 Imp. Great paint!

This build is just out of sight. The whole time Ive been checking it out, my minds been trying to come up with the perfect pirate cliche to sum up the build, but I cant think of one to do it justice. Fatastic job!

That paint looks great for being old and neglected. Nice save on a cool model.

Man, this one is wicked! Great choice on colors and body mods.

Sweet ride. That is a very interesting kit, how was it to build?

Great job on the interior. That along with the paint and stance really make this one an eyepopper!

Built up the motor. I used Alcad for the valve covers and accessories. ">http:// ">http:// Doing up the bag mounts. Lookin a litttle jankey, but they are coming together. [url="http:// Up next, BMF, finish the gut and stick this ride together!

Its been about 2 months of watching this project collect dust on my bench. Recently Ive blown the cobwebs out and laid some paint on this piece. This has to be the smoothest paint job of my short career. All done with Testors laquer spray bombs, Squadron putty, and a shed load of prep and sanding. Some mock up pics. This is actual park height! [url="http:// %5Burl="http:// %5Burl="http://%5B/url%5D %5Burl="http://"]http://

Sick. Sits way right.

Havent been on the site for awhile and I gotta bring this back to the top. Sick build!

Love that fade, works great with the car.

Gotta bring this one back up top. That paint job is killing 'em.

Great job on the side trim!

Awesome.

Love that interior, great build all around.

Love this kit and what you did with it!

Great mods and paint!

Bitchin'. Great stance and wheels!

Looking forward to its Under Glass debut! The detailing is supurb.

Great detailing! Cant wait to see the Merc too.

That thing is cool!

Nasty!

Get some pics of that thing in the sun, I think its a great effect. Over the top, but thats what makes it great.

Funny, I was just leafing through the Throttle Magazine book and now this comes up. Looking forward to this!
