Spitfire Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) This is my second build in about 17 years, so I'm pretty rusty, but I chose a '32 Sedan for the project. Building box stock with a flathead V8. Wheels are from a '32 street rod Monogram kit. My primary focus is improving my paint skills and honing my assembly skills without diving into any major modifications...just trying to achieve a clean build. Paint has some imperfections and isn't glass-smooth, but I'm happy with it, especially considering it's just Rustoleum rattle-can.

afx Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I agree nail the basics before launching into scratch building and major modification. Welcome back to the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I like your subject choice and paint colors. A little sanding and polishing can make a world of difference in the final appearance of the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I need to acquire some junk bodies to practice on...I'm worried about making it better instead of worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66belair Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Good way to go about it. Get a routine on how you clean things up before you assemble. He more time you get to spend at the bench the better. My time is hit or miss and just when I think I got something mastered it bites me in the behind. Here’s a 32 theee window based on the same kit I’m working on.
