Smart-Resins Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Alright, I can not seem to find my old thread. But anyways... Finially I have a update on this! I busted out my new Paasche airbrush today to try since its fathers day. HEHEHE. I sprayed some alclad. Man did I get excited!! Very very nice! So I sprayed the front motor mount and water pump and oil pan on the motor, as well as the front and rear suspension and the rear rims. Yes, the whole rear axle is not there yet. I will make outer axle halves later. I have several pics here. sorry they are a tad darker (yellowish) I dont have a good photo shop and it was dark here(rainy). I do hope you enjoy. Jody
Square Peg Round Hole Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I'm loving those rear coil overs... where are they from?
Smart-Resins Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 Thanks. That whole rear end package is out of the mean n nasty camaro kit. Thanks. Jody
Smart-Resins Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Quick update. I got the body painted in the testors one coat pearl white today. Son managed to some wtrestle himself onto my frame and busted it, so I had to glue it back together. Unfortunately, I can not unglue the rear suspension, so I will have to spray a tad of the pink into my airbrush and see how well I can touch it up. Thankfully they were all clean breaks, all 5 of them!! But I will move forward anyways. I am not trying to make a show winner, so either it looks good when I touch it up, or, it will still look good from a distance!! Thanks. Jody
Smart-Resins Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Another quick update. This thing is really making good progress. Even with my frame mishap no thanks to my son, I was able to touch it upmostly satisfactory. Where I did not do so well, wont be seen anyways because its under the bed inbetween the huge balonies! So that is ready to move forward with me finishing the suspension up. Cleared the body the other day. Thought it was completly dry when I did a mock up of it on the frame. Left DNA imprints. Today I picked it up ready to start polishing them out. I was very surprised because I could just barly tell where they were. So I stuck the decals on and waited for a while. Then I cleard over it with two coats. No more fingerprints in it! So the body is done! Here are pics of the body. Tomorrow I hope to mount it on the frame and then move into finishing up the suspension and start the interior! Thanks. Jody
Smart-Resins Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Here is a quick mock up with the suspension parts (main) and the engine mounted. The body is also mounted. Have the bottom of the interior(exterior bottom) done and the interior sprayed white. Now to do the puple ribs. Thanks. Jody
Smart-Resins Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Alright. Another quick update. I got the grill and shell in and made the dul blower plenum box and got the purple sprayed on the interior. Now just to repaint the white in the interior and it can get installed permanently!I took a couple of shots here with the dual blowers sitting there. Mind you, I will be making angled boxes for the carbes to sit on, then the blowers horizontal on top of those, so the motor in all will still be about another 3/8s of a inch or so. About the middle of the windshield! Thats why when I was asked about the motor height being so low, I new better then to raise it.m I want it bigb and bad, yet also to a point where one could almost see around those blowers! LOL. Hope you enjoy! JOdy
Foxer Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Looking good and it's coming along well .. despite everyone's efforts to resist completion! May the Finish Be With You.
pharr7226 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Very nice work. I love the subtle fade on the scallops.
Smart-Resins Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Thank you guys for the nice words! I hope as I get used to my new airbrush I can try to paint scallops like that! Those decals are very cool! Jody
