1965 Chevy II Gasser

[Zippi]

I have started my next project.  It's the Moebius 1965 Chevy II Gasser.  I got some of the parts cleaned up, glued together, and did a trial fit of the body over the interior tub.  Just now got the Tamiya White Fine Surface Primer shot on the body & parts.  I'm going with the Tamiya X-7 Red Acrylic paint and it will be cleared with the Tamiya X-22 Clear.  Things are looking good so far.

Thanks Ray.  I needed a nice kit to keep my brain off overload for a while since I also have the F-350 Ramptruck and a 56 Ford pickup on the bench.

Just got the Tamiya X-22 Clear shot on the body.  I had a little trouble with the Tamiya X-7 Acrylic red paint but I think once I polish is out it should look ok.

Nice, slick, red = already a race car!

Saw in one of your videos where you picked up that #29 Cartoon Network NASCAR model.  I built a lot of the old Monogram NASCAR kits back in the day, you got a good deal on that one. I never built that one, but I did online racing back then with the old Papyrus NASCAR 2000 PC game. We had a online racing club where we ran NASCAR races once a week competing with each other on one of the game servers. That #29 Cartoon Network car was the car I ran most of time, so that brought back some memories. I've seen the kit on ebay going for around 15 to 25 bucks. I may just pick one up and build it.

That's pretty kewl James.  At least someone knows something about that car.  I plan on using it for parts.

I got out in the garage this morning and did a little wet sanding and polishing on the 65.  I rubbed so much I think a Genie popped out   That's about all I can do with the paint.
