55 chevy custom

[brett]

while waiting for a decal fix on my cuda I thought I'ld start another project instead of finishing one of the other 20 + started projects . Revell new(er) tool goodguys version.

Started a couple of nights ago

if you see the couple of little paint flaws , they were fixed today and its been cleared. Next is to remask the roof and do a little fogging around the lace panels then another couple coats of clear

[Greg Cullinan]

Not your typical 55. I like that,your patterns look good and that color combo is sweet.

[brett]

roofs done

[brett]

Different but I like it. Looks like you did a gold basecoat and then black or very dark brown over that. Cool.

Did you use Tamiya masking tape and slice it thinner the get the banner effects on the sides, hood, trunk?

[David G.]

The interior is nicely detailed, the masking and paintwork is awesome. Overall, the car just has a solid feel to it as it sits on the workbench in the last couple of photos.

And, oh yes, what tape did you use? It seems to work well.

[brett]

Thanks , yes it was Tamiya tape cut to width and yes the gold basecoat was applied first then a light clear then taped then the black then unmasked and then recleared. hth's

WOW!!!

Awesome looking Paint job!!

[Wayne Buck]

Very Nice build and an Awesome paint job! I wish I could do that!

My only question is: It says "with a c" in the title, but I don't see a compressor or anything under the hood...

[Scalper]

Great looking 55 one of a kind. nice build

[brett]

Thanks guys. As for the c........ some people are very touchy about the whole custom/kustom thing and although I am aware of the differences just noted it as such with a little tongue in cheek humor. Does it even scrape in as a custom? barely though its definately not stock and I wouldn't call it a street machine either. Your call

[kymdlr]

That Paint is KILLER!

[AlanNZ]

Jeez, Brett, you don't muck around do you?? What's that, like 3 days go to whoa?

Looks good in the black and gold too!
