Pennzoil Chevy SS (Fantasy Livery)

[Jhedir6]

It's been a good long while since I've worked on a NASCAR project so it's about time to bring out a new one.

I'll be using a Chase Elliot Chevy SS and will be doing an updated fantasy Pennzoil livery. I know the car never ran with this livery, but I don't care. I'll mix in the Pennzoil decal set (Slixx) with the kit decals to make my own livery. I'll be using Powerslide's Goodyear tire decals and some other details along with the stock kit decals.

I'm at work and will be starting the project here, but with it being a long weekend here in Canada this weekend I'm hoping to get some primer and paint done. Paint will be from Gravity Colors (Pennzoil Skyline GTR-R34) pearl yellow.

Not sure how detailed I'll go on the chassis, since it's not going to be an actual car I'm replicating, I may just go for a quick build. We'll see...more later tonight I hope.

OK change of plans. Recently I found a really interesting livery I like and have decided to swap over this build. I hadn't painted the body yet so it was an easy switch.

The new build will be Michael McDowell's 2016 New Hampsire "Rat Rods" livery. This is a livery the team made up as they didn't have a sponsor for the race.

Decals are from 3 Amigos and you can find them here.

Paint is Tamiya LP's, I took White (Lp-2)  and dropped in a few drops of Blue (LP-6) to get the correct colour and then thinned it out with some Mr. Hobby leveling thinner. It's not my best paint job as I had to take a few swings at it to get the colour I wanted, but after the decals are done and a matte clear is added I don't think it'll be that apparent. The colour in the photo is actually darker than the colour on the car. The colour on the car is spot on for the pics I have.

Plan is to get started on the decals here at work tonight, so I hope to have a few updates as the night progresses.

Comments always welcome.

Looking forward to seeing more of this one ...

Decals are basically done. I have a few more detail decals I want to add off of Powerslide's Goodies sheet. I also need to add some yellow decals to the roof rails, then I'll be ready for clear.
