Dude!!!

I absolutely love this satin metallic red!

What company produces this paint, or is it sprayed with semigloss clear?

It's beautiful!

Hi Derek, the colour is GM medium Garnet red with Mr. Hobby super smooth matte clear. The second photo shows how the colour looks with gloss clear. Totally changes it..

Starting to gain some momentum on this build, thought I’d throw a few wheel choices out for opinion. The car will be matte pearl green, chrome  will be stripped and blacked out. Wheel hoops will be black, centres will be gold/bronze.

The wheel sets I find most appealing are 1, 3 and 4. 

The others just sort of disappear under the car.

Bob, are the fender vents out of a Monogram 1/24?

I was thinking of doing the same thing for a while and was wondering how they would fit.

Yes they are. The body fits the Revell Cuda chassis/interior very well. 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.

Thanks Steve, that's so cool how the color changes so drastically.   

I'm heading to the hobby store today to look for that Mr. Hobby super smooth matte!

Thanks again for sharing...  

Aloha, Derek

Quick mess around with the DDA Custom Blown Holden HQ sedan, fitted up some Aoshima Cragar style wheels to see how they would look.

I'm guessing that it sits so low because the engine weighs more than 2/3 of the entire rest of the car? :D 

Wild mock-up, it should look great when it's done.

Revell 48 Ford Custom I started a few years back.I slanted the b-pillars and the hubcaps are from the Revell 50 Olds Custom kit.It’s been mocked up for a while.I really need to get back to this one.

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.20230314_141408.thumb.jpg.f8cbe72681be1f69a94f04f8d248563e.jpg
