Ever wake up n just want to paint something?

[TNT]

Yesterday i woke up and just wanted to paint something mainly a body. Since the 66 galaxie 500 interior just is not right i needed a break. Went to the dungeon and looked through my stash. I forgot that the amt 1925 model kit has 2 builds. So i grabbed it and went through my foo foo cans of spray. I had a little duplicolor metallic black and 2 new cans of duplicolor patriot blue. Did a quick cleaning of mold lines n such wiped them down with alcohol wipes. Put everything outside to warm. No primer. Sprayed the parts and of course in this weather it hazed  over which i figured it would. But with meguiar's gold paste n liquid wax i knew it would buff out.

But i got that urge out of my system i can put these away and get back to the galaxie.

i said to myself build right out of box nothing added nothing removed. Be darned if the way i want to build it was with steelies and 4 narrow tires. The darn rims are only 2 skinny 2 fats. So i may actually had to find 2 steel rims for the rear. 

Thanks for looking.

Thanks, neither color in metallic was available way back then, oh well. And in the pics the bodies are switched going to do the top up turtle on the fenders.

I hate to say this but no, I have never had an impulse for painting something in the morning when I wake up. Painting stresses me out a little so no.....but vowing to build a kit strictly out of the box? Yup. All the time. And I never, ever do it. I can't do it. There are no kits that I have built so far that were good right out of the box. Not one.  But your rattle can paint jobs look darn good, Tony, and this should be a quick build should you decide to continue with it. I'm following ☝️

Nope, me neither…but I wake up wanting to either glue something together or hack something apart quite often.?

Yeah, me too, Greg, but I wouldn't want everybody to know. ?

Thanks. It is hard to not want to chop a kit up or up grade a part or two.
