Got this one used online some time back. Not a glue bomb but had definitely been gone through. Only had half of the door steps and hood handles. So after seeing a few other non traditional builds online decided to lower it down making the missing parts unneeded. Thanks for looking.

Hello Sir

A pair of very nice builds there. 

I have to ask, what did You use to do the gold pinstriping of the Koach fenders? I am impressed with the work!

I have both kits in the stash. I have been collecting aftermarket parts for detailing them. And the pinstriping is one of the "how-to's" That I have to address.

The rear tires that You used on both kits, are they the ones that came with the kits? I also find the color that you used on Grandpas Koffin, it is a different one for sure. Is it metallic?

Thank You for sharing with Us all here, appreciate your taking the time and effort.

Take Care, Be Safe, God Bless, Later

Sincerely

Russell

Thanks for your (and everyone’s) kind words. Answers to your questions below:

Pinstriping was done by hand with a gold sharpie as was the gold trim items on the Drag-U-La

Rear wheels and tires are original to both kits. Koach has different front tires but original wheels. Drag-U-La front wheels and tires are from a VW Scirocco kit.

Attached a photo of the paint used on the Drag-U-La. Sprayed directly on the black plastic (i.e. no primer). A link to the Drag-U-La is below if you’re interested in seeing more photos.

Thanks again for the kind words let me know if you have any other questions.
