lordgodbob Posted April 18, 2021 Author Posted April 18, 2021 Ok. Chassis/stance is fixed, engine compartment tin is sorted out, and the chassis is basically done, waiting for the body. Silver and black are done, I’ll start decals tomorrow, hopefully.
iBorg Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Nice update....now where did you get those Oldsmobile valve covers?

Those are the Moroso valve covers that come in the Camaro Pro Stock kit. I sanded the lettering off, painted them flat black, and used decals that come in the WJ sheet from Slixx.
Bob Warfield Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 This car is looking killer! To make even more so shouldn't you cover that tunnel ram with a cut up beer 12 pack though? ?

However, every pic I see of this car has the runners exposed, so I’m going to leave it that way.
am73grand Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 This build is amazing. Thanks for posting the pic of the stencil for the tire lettering. I am going to have to track one of those down.
lordgodbob Posted April 22, 2021 Author Posted April 22, 2021 Decals done (again) ready for clear (again) hopefully it goes better this time! This car is so cool, can’t wait to have a finished model on my shelf.

MackT Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 That is outstanding in every aspect. As Cousin Eddy would say " she's a beaut Clark"!!!
afx Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Maybe not risk applying clear? Think it looks pretty good as is.

lordgodbob Posted April 28, 2021 Author Posted April 28, 2021 Clear went on with no difficulties, I’m on the home stretch now!
