“Root beer Float”

[Intmd8r]

An older build, this is my fist (successful) experiment at executing a two tone paint job, using Testors One Coat Lacquer.  Love the Testors Root Beer color, hence the name.  Built as a curbside, as I was not overly impressed with the engine detail or the fit/finish of the hood.

I'm not a big fan of '37 Fords. But, that is one very nice build. I like in a lot. Great job.

Looks good, where did the pinstripe come from?

[crazyjim]

Looks very nice.  Is that a gold stripe along the sides?

Testors One Coat Lacquer - straight fromthe can.  Don't remember what the white pearl color was called, but I did use Inca Gold as a base coat for Root Beer color.

Yup - I bought a roll of gold tape a while back that had different sizes of stripes.  Just cut to length, and trimmed it on the body.  I think its made by Testors????

I used the same roll to make the racing stipe on my '55 Gasser.

I bought a decal sheet of different pinstripe designs off of eBay a while back.  Don't recall who made them, but they are surprisingly great quality.

They seem to be finding their way into my Hot Rod builds lately.....

Nice. I'm usually not a fan of 2-tones on fat-fendered Fords, but this works well. Very attractive car.
