57 Cameo WIP

[jdhog]

Hey guys.  Here's my little 57 Cameo.  I want it in the weeds.  I cheated by gluing the axles to the frame sans springs.  The paint is Wicked Colors Pearl Tangerine over silver with Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel clear coat.

Great start, I love that color!

You can easily make some reverse leaf spring mounts though for more realistic lowering

  JD, I'm not a big fan of the Cameo. But I AM a big fan of a Good Looking Paint Job AND Good Photography. On both counts Well Done!

I know.    I should probably do that.  I have another Cameo on the shelf.

This is gonna be a sweet build! Love the wheel/tire combination, and the paint looks great!

I got a little foil on it.  Foil'ing is my kryptonite.

Thanks funny how close the colors are. And i mixed my by hand using yellow and red lol

I have been able to get a little more done to the Cameo.  I made a bed cover out of an old CD jewel case.  I have found that the kit chrome is in pretty bad shape.  I think I will strip it and shoot Alclad.

Looking great...

I like your thinking about getting it down ... we all need to just have fun and not get too detailed about things that wont be seen. 

It is looking really good!

[darthsideous]

What a nice paint job, good going so far.

[jdhog]

It's getting closer to completion.  I shoehorned the motor from the 2006 Camaro Concept into the engine bay.

That's a good looking truck - you should be proud of this one.

[Spex84]

You're such a cheating cheater! Looks great

I have one of these on the bench, and trying to notch the frame/build suspension links/etc etc really stalled it. I should have just glued the axles to the frame!

I like the forward rake you gave this truck, and the orange paint is unique. Sweet.
