Eloveless Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I have learned a lot going into this build. Actually taping up before gluing. Gluing parts before painting when I can. Here is one night of work. Can't wait. My brother in law what's a purple and white TCU car for his office desk. Let the fun begin.
MrBuick Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Nice! I've always thought the '69 Goats are among the best looking muscle cars.
Poppa mitch Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I agree that this year goat is very cool. Looking forward to more pics.
Eloveless Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 I agree that this year goat is very cool. Looking forward to more pics. Here is the mock up so far. This is the first time (BC I am still learning) I took the time to dry fit, prime, and dry fit again. All going together. My new Paasche VL dual action airbrush and compressor are coming in tomorrow!!!! Can't wait. Now I am using acrylic paint, can I still go over the body with enemal lacquer or is that a no no?
GMCMAN52 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Looking good, as for the lacquer paint your going to need a good coat of automotive primer as the Lacquer is a hot paint and may harm the plastic if not primer correctly.

Any alternative if I go another route for clear coat after paint?
GMCMAN52 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 You can use lacquer and enamel clear over lacquer paint but you can't use lacquer over enamel paint.Did the steering column arrive yet.

Eloveless Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 So far so good. But my air gun is spraying splotchy and can't move forward until I fix that.
Snake45 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 The fit of the front bumper on that kit has always been a problem. Requires some extra care to look good.
bandit1 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Cool... If you ever stumble across the 68 correct parts from that old MPC kit I believe is what it needs to be let me know... I'm looking for the correct 68 one year only stuff for that kit...
