envious8420 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) pulled this outta the mothballs, hoping to be distracted by all of the detailing opportunities. Edited January 10, 2010 by envious8420
envious8420 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 i think i'm gonna do it as a privateer, i've got 2 partial kits that make all of the total parts. undecided on color so far, lets see what a few hours bring. this has turned into one of those 24 hour builds but in 12 hrs.
vizio93 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Wow !!! Those wires will defiantly keep you busy Edited January 10, 2010 by vizio93

Custom Hearse Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Yeah... I get lost working on a model and forget about smoking too. Looks like you got a good project going there. I'm looking forward to seeing the paint job you're giving it. Keep up the good work!

Bill Eh? Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 That's going to look wicked with flames the length of the body!

envious8420 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) some flames to snack on. got some minor touch ups for the black then a coat of clear, some contingency decals then more clear. Edited January 10, 2010 by envious8420
John Truby Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Jim, were all those colors painted with spray cans? If so, that's some mighty impressive work. I'm sure it will look awesome when it's complete. Congrats on deciding to quit smoking. John
envious8420 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 just before final coats of clear. i think the flames came out ok.

Custom Hearse Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Nice work Jim! Those flames came out spectacular! I have to paint some flames on a van kit I've been working on, but fortunately, they are one color flames. Looking forward to seeing more!
envious8420 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks, Marshall! a van would look sweet like this.
GOTH KUSTOMS Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Nice set of licks you got on that straight liner, should look great with clear over them, noce work...
envious8420 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 My comp is on the blink. have to use my phone. will try posting from work tommorrow.
Guest JamesDE Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Man, that is some bad to the bone detailing right there. Have fun with all that wiring. I am workin on the Pennzoil TF as well so I know what you are goin through with this. Good work so far!!
Ryan S. Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Lookin' good man, I'm loving the flames. There's just something proper about flames on a racecar.
envious8420 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Posted January 14, 2010 thanks guys!! james, this is also a pennzoil kit, if you need any decals or spare parts lmk. i bought 2 for the motor for another build.
