Modlbldr Posted February 7, 2018 Author 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-

Modlbldr Posted February 7, 2018 Author 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-
espo Posted February 7, 2018 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.

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 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.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 I'm liking that color for sure! I'm usually not a Corvette fan, but I really like what you've done here!

Modlbldr Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 I repainted the seat inserts. I think it looks much better now. http:// http:// http:// More work tonight after work. Later-
Modlbldr Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 Got a bit more progress done today. Got the dash detailed. http:// http:// Got the steering wheel done. Just need to glue the interior together in the morning and wire the distributor. Later-
Modlbldr Posted February 24, 2018 Author Posted February 24, 2018 Back to work on this tonight. I had broken the windshield on it but George Bojaciuk sent me a new one along with a nearly complete kit of this! Thanks George! I still owe you more. Anyway, I was able to sit at the bench with it tonight. I am nearly done and should be able to finish by tonight. Here is where I am at now. http:// http:// http:// http:// At this rate I'll have another in the display case at work by Monday morning. Stay tuned. Later-
JJ Deuce Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Looking great! '69 corvette is one of my favorite cars. Love that gold paint on it
Spex84 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Lookin' sharp and the paint color is dramatic! I think the re-painted seat inserts are much better now, nice work.
Modlbldr Posted February 24, 2018 Author Posted February 24, 2018 Finished this one up last night. Moving it to Under Glass. http:// Later-
fizi Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 That has gone together great, colour combinations are excellent and a super clean finish, love it great job
Plastic_Passion Posted April 5, 2018 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
