Next up on the bench as I progress with my 32 Coupe build

Great kit there. I'm using one to create the car from the movie Hot Rod. Not a good pic, but here's some inspiration.

Cool. Those cars had a very classy look I always thought.😎

Cool build there DW

I will be doing mine as a resto done my way. Part original and part day2. An OOB build up with a fair amount of paint detail

Main body in Tamiya racing white with a metallic red roof. Red interior and a stock weezy 383 with a 2 barrel carb - may change that yet as there are some 4bbl carbs in the box

I think the same Greg - hence my wish to build one. And I am a Mopar man to boot.

That'll 65 Plymouth Satellite be a nice kit to build Bill.

Thanks. Just need to get it finished up. Looking forward to your build.

Got a start on the motor. Mixed up some Tamiya acrylic paint for Mopar Turquoise. Started with sky blue and added some green and white to come up with the colour. SMS aluminum for the inlet. The chassis components are in the booth

[bill-e-boy]

Lots of stuff back from the paint shop. The SG black chassis and parts. The gas tank was painted ally first then masked prior to painting the rest SG black.

The interior is gloss red mixed a little stiff and airbrushed from a distance to the effect of vinyl. The dash front had a heavy last shot to get some gloss up. The seat and door card inserts is flat red with some SG black added to darken it a little. The floor has had a few more heavy coats and looks a little darker which is what I am after as the carpets my reference car looks a tad darker than the inserts

  

Reference car

And I finally got some pix down loaded for the vehicle for the inspiration and reference. My colour-way will differ a bit from this but it is such a nice tidy car to use for reference. It looks like a very accurate restoration of an unmolested car.

 You totally nailed the interior colors, Bill. Great masking job!  It looks like they gave you some nice, accurate detail to paint. Gonna be cool!

Thanks Jim. Yup the masking wasn't too bad - just tedious. It is not one of the jobs I love to do. 

I found from somewhere here a trick to lay down a coat of the unlaying colour to seal the masking and to decrease the likelyhood of bleed through. We shall see how this goes as I have masked off the dash panel and layed down some silver which is a greater contrast colour to the red

The way I heard it was hit it with clear first but I guess it can work that way too. I usually forget that step anyway....😔

Yup done that too - but thought I would give the base colour a try to see how it goes.

Not a bad idea. It could be better than clear in many situations.

Following! Have 2 of these in my stash, and was gonna avoid a stock build, but your interior is very nice and can't wait to see more progress on it!
