The second photo shows how the colour looks with gloss clear. Totally changes it.. Cheers, Steve 7

The car will be matte pearl green, chrome will be stripped and blacked out. Wheel hoops will be black, centres will be gold/bronze. Cheers, Steve The wheel sets I find most appealing are 1, 3 and 4. The others just sort of disappear under the car. David G.

I cut out the cowl and fender edges off the 70 Cuda as well. The tail panel needed some trim work to fit the Johan body. Lastly I made 71 taillights with separate bezels and lens to fit the 70 taillight openings.

I'm heading to the hobby store today to look for that Mr. Hobby super smooth matte! Thanks again for sharing... Aloha, Derek
Steve H Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Updated mock up of my WIP wide body Caddy. Final wheel choice made! I have some different tires for it now, but profile is the same. 6
Slotto Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 something that was built by somebody else and been on the shelf for many many years. Gonna give her the once over shown here with a wheel swap. Keeping the paint. I'll explain when I create the build thread. 9
Cool Hand Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 Quick mess around with the DDA Custom Blown Holden HQ sedan, fitted up some Aoshima Cragar style wheels to see how they would look. 8

I'm guessing that it sits so low because the engine weighs more than 2/3 of the entire rest of the car? Wild mock-up, it should look great when it's done. David G.

KC FitiWerks Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Bought 2 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertibles for $20. Same models, ARII & IMEX. One is missing some chrome,tires and windshield frame. The other is complete. Don't know what im going to do yet. Stock build or slam the complete. Or attempt to stretch and make a convertible limo. 5
Spottedlaurel Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 CBR 2023 entry, Accord Wagon bodyshell sitting on a stretched NSX floorpan. Themes in the running were wagons and mid-engined, for some reason I combined both. In the end it went to Run-What-You-Brung, which certainly covers it.... 3
