Progress Interior and chassis both done. Front bench seat is made from a second rear seat. Back filled and then split in the middle. I have to detail the engine a little And BMF the body. Then start final assy. I'm pumped. I've wanted to do this car for a while now -
Thanks, Thats what I figured. As Ronnie was the master with a 4 spd This car is my next on the bench and want it accurate
-
Is it known for sure if this car ran as a 4spd ?

I know it's a long shot. But I could use the red tail light lenses for this one.

What do you use for flat and satin black?
gtx6970 replied to LennyB's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Cheap rattle can flat black. Usually Dupli color, Rust oleum or similar in the big cans Same source for a semi gloss if thats what I need Its $8 -$9 for model size cans of paint. I can get big cans for same money and get twice the amount exibit A is Rustoleum grey primer, Duplicolor semi gloss black. Tamiya gloss clear -
All primer coats were wet sanded with either 600 or 800 grit Exact same process I used on other bodies Like mentioned Im beginning to wonder if I have a mis labeled can of glossy white / flat white
-
Yet. Mine is quite glossy when first sprayed It's 15 . 30.minutes Or maybe an hour later it's anything from blushed to downright flat
-
Ps. I'm starting to wonder if the can of gloss white is mislabeled and anything I put on top of it goes flat as well
-
I'll shake any rattle can pretty good. To be honest I think 2 of the 3 were with warmed paint 3rd was not. All 3 same result. I got one of the afx cars ( strickler 65 Dodge ) shined decent..but it took almost a full can of clear 2nd one is sox martin afx hardtop. The white came out dead flat. The blue roof is so so . Slightly above pure flat...more a semi gloss at best I'll paint the red on it and see how it looks. But picked up some testors wet look clear today I've always had good luck with it. Worst case they all go in the strip tank and I'll start over with all Duplicolor
