Lowlife ! ! Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Finally finished this one up, took way too long but they all do... ( theres a build thread in the work bench section if your interested ! ) To summerize... Paint was done with a few white primer coats, it was then painted chrome, then thin coats of bronze metallic, 4 or 5 coats of clear, then polished out ! Each layer was wet sanded before spraying the next ! I love the colour it changes in the light, still not upto some peoples level but its getting better ! Scratch bits include the dash, centre console, firewall, engine bay, radiator surround, exhaust tips and the intake system. Also smoothed the front valence, door handles, mirrors and rain gutters. The bumpers were thinned and added closer to the body, and the front and rear lights tinted, rear valence removed ( but i might add it back later when ive cut holes in it ! ) Photoetch steering wheel, number plate surrounds, bonnet pins, tamiya disc brakes, and the suspension chopped about to slam it ( notice the sump scratched ! ) Had to add Foose plates, as a tribute ! sponsor decals add to the SEMA look i like to imagine ! Thanks for looking, loads of pics now !
shoopdog Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 That turned out pretty impressive. Those are some massive cannons poking out the back!
Lowlife ! ! Posted May 12, 2020 Author Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks Keith, but I changed my mind again, the exhaust tips are gone and the rear valence is going back on !!
Dann Tier Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 CONGRATS, BUD!!!!....you got it done!!....BRILLIANT job!!!!
matthijsgrit Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 That's a great tribute, show it to Foose, I'd say ? Good choice to ditch the exhaust tips, they were to big imho. Looking at the rest of the build, I trust you'll come up with a great solution. At "SEMA in Scale" * this would be a great showpiece. Well done. * Community build idea?
AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Superb build Martin! The question is: how low can you go... and your answer is: down to the ground! Well done sir!!!
beeRS Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 That looks mean! Colour and stance is perfect. Chip would definately approve. Well done Martin.
Lowlife ! ! Posted May 18, 2020 Author Posted May 18, 2020 Thank you all for the comments, I really appreciate it !
Koellefornia Kid Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 You really caught the Foose-Look here, Martin!
