Hello......thank you all so very much for the kind comments.......I really do appreciate them:).....here is a sneak peek of the painted body mocked-up on the frame......I airbrushed  the rainbow flakes mixed with clear that my good friend Eric Ellerbusch sent me to use......Eric is one hell of a painter one of the best out there.....thank you Eric .......then I airbrushed H.O.K. Pagan Gold Kandy over the flakes......then I added the first coat of clear over that......I tried to get as close to the the paint job that`s on the real car as possible......Eric Goodrich owner of the real car said I got the paint really close......so I will go with that.......I still need to wet sand the clear and add another coat of clear.......thanks for looking

Holy Schnikes Johnny Boy... I just wet myself. That color looks awesome and it plays off the frame and engine color quite nice. You are a Rock Star Mr Hollywood!! I am totally digging it. This bad boy is about done and will be done for DSC.

Hey JT,

     As usual,  your paint work is just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!   You do such a great job of recreating these wild show cars my friend.

   Can't wait to see all your models this year at DSC.

awsome !! tasty !! insane job !! love it !!! the craftmenship and detail in this is stunning !!! paint > whow ..... real fan of your work !!

 

can i talk about one small thing i keep thinking about ?? not ment offensive !! i feel when looking at the original thats more slanted forward .. this one backwards ..its not that i dislike it .. it kind of almost gives it a funky mixed look of a showrod vs gasser .. its also looking real wide in the front and narrow in the back

again i really dont dislike the look but lookin at the original its got a more narrow track in front and wider in the back .. and sitting more level ....again just a thought i had not ment in a bad way :)
