Here are a few mor pics of progress I have made. Got both doors hung and the clearance issues figured out. Still need to fill the door jams.

Thanks. I have a question. What would be a good mock up glue to use so I can take apart to paint? Thanks to this site I am learning a lot of modding tricks and stuff.

Thanks guys. I haven't really worked on the trunk other than cutting it out and making the hinges. But definitely need to thin the edges of the trunk. Thanks for the feed back.

Here is a 57 Chevy bel air that I'm doing a door and trunk mod on. I have one door almost completed. This is my first trunk and door mod. It's coming out pretty good so far. I think! Thanks for looking.

It's called GM fusion orange effect. DuPont urithane paint. Thanks it was my first custom builds

Oh yea. I forgot to mention this was entered in the Gearz contest

Thanks guys. for the hood issue. The air cleaner is hitting the bottom of the hood just a bit. i need to trim down the bottom of the air cleaner. but doenst really bother me because i display it with the hood open. BUT good eye!

Thanks. I was thinking it had kind of a Foose feel to it.

I painted this with synergy green. It DuPont paint that is a 2 stage paint. You can get it from a automotive paint store. Some places will not sell it in small amounts. But I is a nice color . I get it from work. Just mix it my self

I found that using this mini jet paint gun with a 0.8 fluid tip gives a great finish.

Thanks! I wasn't sure how the finish was going to come out. But I was very pleased with it. No trash or runs. This was my first attempt with BMF.

Finished this one about a month ago.

All I can say is WOW!

Thanks everyone for the feed back. Its very encouraging. As this is only my 4th build I have done in 24 years. My first moded build. The color is G.M. fusion orange effect and urathane clear (both from Dupont). I used the kit glass and evercoat lightweight body filler to fill in the rear window conversion. The windshield was too small and needed something to fill the gap. I found an old set of ear bud headphones, and pulled the wires out. Then with an sharp exacto knife split it down one side and wrapped it around the glass. Then glued in place. It worked very well. Thanks again for looking

Here it's. Did a rear window conversion, suspension mods, wheels and tires, battery tonneau cover and a few other things. Thanks for looking

thanks. It is real rust in a way

They came with the kit. I just did a black wash treatment to them. For the weathering I used this prolly old news but new to me. Very cool stuff

I thought about that. Thanks though

Here is mine.

I was looking threw my wife's jewelry box and found the skull and cross bones for the grill. Lol she still hasn't noticed

thanks Doc. I had fun building this one

thanks. I air brushed transparent blue and yellow then did a black wash over them when I washed the engine to tone down the shine.

My second build in 24 years. Really enjoyed this one. Hope use like it. Thanks for looking

I did the same build with out the flames. It was my first build in 24 years
