Both are great looking builds. Not all coupes were chopped in the past and it's nice to have a little head room anyway. Great looking paint and well detailed drivetrains. The wheels and tires look right on both.

I think it's refreshing to see one not chopped! The little coupes are good looking just as they are. I really like that dark blue one; it just has the look and stance. Love the color on the gold one. What gold paint did you use?

That's Testor's Extreme Lacquer rattle can. I think they called it something like "gold metalflake" but it looks just like Inca gold. I really like that paint but the cans really suck. Very difficult to push the valve down with my arthritic fingers. Had to use two hands. The blue deuce is just OOB but I probably opened up the front cross member a bit. Ray, Rusty, Larry, and Bill, thanks for the comments!

Yeah Dave, I agree but it's just a thing with me....I can't leave well enough alone ?.  Thanks for your praise ?

By the way you detailed the builds I wouldn't speak of laziness! Both look very cool!

I was trying to be humorous, Ollie, but sometimes I just want a certain look that's rattling around in my head and voila!

Get one of those snap on handles , from hardware store makes painting alot easier.

Naaah.....all the cans are different and many won't work. Now if there was a set of pistol grip spray things, I might be interested ?
