Looking real good man

Hi Bill!

Very impressive fabrication, bravo! I'm inspired by the mounting tabs you designed to hold the bodyshell in place. Clever!

A little update..... the front clip is held on with mini disc magnets.

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi Bill!

Very impressive progress, bravo!

That coarse metalflake gunmetal reminds me of a HOK flake... Is-it? Just curious...

[Dirt Demon]

Yes it is House of Kolor Galaxy Gray....with purple/ blue shift flake mixed with the first coats of clear. The orange is House of Kolor too. Ultra orange pearl

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi Bill!

Thanks for the answer. HOK's are top products. I was familiar with the Galaxy Gray... but the bluish sparkles puzzled me. Now I know...

Very nice! Happy holidays to you!

PS: Where is Union Springs in NY? Hudson Valley, I guess?

Very inspirational build of a bad to the bone bowtie ground pounder.

Hi Bill, what an awesome build! I love low, I love tubs, and one of my all time favourite cars is a ‘62 Impala. What a perfect combination. Very nicely done.

Cheers, and Merry Christmas

WOW, that's a real beast Bill!  I love the color combo with that massive and powerful engine!  Superb build in the making!

[Ian McLaren]

[blackbeard]

[gotnitro?]

Off the charts Bill  ! Killer paint work too

Happy Holidays too

[Tortuga Kustomz]

Awesome work, i like the idea on where to put the magnets, you can't see them there...

[Dirt Demon]

Update.... waiting on my decals.... mail is super slow.... but got the doors hinged and are removable..... everything fits good. And lines up.... super happy with how it’s turning out.

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi!

Very sharp, can't wait to see it with the decal work done.

Will-you be using the kit's front & rear windows? How do you plan to set-them in place, in the case of the windshield more precisely? Just curious... 

CT

[Dirt Demon]

Yes I will be using the kit glass... the windshield fits perfectly and will not interfere with opening the doors. I’ll be using clear glue to hold them in place. I will make the door windows out of clear plastic sheet. 

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi Bill!

 I saw that the dogleg door post is part of the door now, and the whole body can be removed at once, so I was curious. Good idea.

Amazing work Bill, can't wait to see more

[misterNNL]

I like the fact that this project is being built without a visual overload of chromed everything bling. The use of dark metalizer  on the induction system is a great choice. Great thread to follow.

[Dirt Demon]

Well... decals finally got here.... applied them now ready for final coats of clear.... getting close now.

[blackbeard]

looks fantastic bill everything works great with the colors you chose

[Metaldrumm]

Love it ,really top notch work ??.

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi Bill!

Great. When you say "decals", are those actual decals, or painting masks that you used to lay the flames? If decals, the match with the interior color is great" Bravo!

Wow. Dynamite work. Can't wait to see her chromed and done.
