taaron76 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 I finally got around to spraying the base coat and clear coat on the '68 Firebird. The color is Gravity Colors BWM Crystal White Pearl, mixed with Gravity Colors Titanium White. There is a hint of pearl in the paint, but its hard to see in these pics, but shows ups nice in sunlight. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microwheel Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Beautiful work Tim. White has always been a color that gave me fits to get right. You pulled it off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Looks perfect so far!!!! I agree with Jim..............I won't even try it though. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taaron76 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks, fellas! Took me a few coats to get it to match, but it come out pretty even. Step 1, spray two coats disassembled. Step 2, spray 1 coat assembled. Cake! Here is the 400 primed and ready for the Firebird. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Man that motor is a beauty Tim!! Is that one of those resin Holley 4 barrels from FAB? Everything looks super about the belt/ pulley arrangement except for the lack of tension on the main drive belt. Totally awesome stuff man.

dragmodels44 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 WOW! that looks fantastic. I love the opening doors, hood, trunk. I've tried a couple of times and just can't get it. Awesome models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 That is a very pretty engine with the added details.Since I am very familiar with Pontiac engines, the rivet counter in me has some issues with certain details, but what has been added has been done well.

taaron76 Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 It's been a while since I did anything with the '68 Firebird, but the outside of this one is just about complete. I was able to finish up the headlights and get the glass glued into place today, so I figured I'd take a couple of pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
