Modlbldr Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Thanks Horsepower. Yeah I haven't finished the BMF yet. This was just the first round last Friday night. I'll try to get the rest finished this weekend and then hit it with another light coat of clear to hold it all down. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 I have been working on the interior. Trying to replicate something close to this. http:// Here is where I'm at so far. http:// http:// http:// This is with the interior just sitting in place for inspection. I'm glad that this is not a convertible. I'm not extremely proud of this interior but going with it. http:// http:// Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Your interior looks fine. The contrasting color on the seat inserts was common on these cars depending on how much Sun they were exposed too. I like the Carpeting you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about what it does to the chrome finish, I know that Alclad and SpazStix have adverse reactions unless you use a specific clear. Next thing I want to try is using the ink/paint from a refill cartridge through an airbrush, if it stays as brilliant as the pens do I can see a ton of possibilities, especially for the aircraft guys, or doing our own bumpers.

Modlbldr Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Horsepower, I did clear over the Molotow and it dulls it quite a bit. Fortunately I only used it on the small stuff (side markers, door handles and locks) I figured I can touch those up easily enough. I haven't heard of any clear that doesn't dull it and it is adversely affect do by touch for a long time after applied. As far as using it through an airbrush, I've seen that it works very well. There is a site on FB called Model car hobbies worldwide! where the guys build amazing lowriders. They use it through an airbrush to do the frames and suspensions. Great work there.

Plastic_Passion Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Man this is lookin real nice! Makes me want to work on my 69. Although my hardtop is real rough. It needs a whole lot of love. I built a hardtop convertible with a burnt copper/red with tan and black interior. It came out pretty okay. I'm with @Snake45 on color matching I just try to get one that looks close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
