I had the first productive time on bench in months over the weekend. I had to repair the fender wells, which were cracked when I dropped the part. I also fixed some problems with the frame. I got some clear on it a few weeks ago and finally came up with a design I like for the door panels. The clear is Crystal Clear, which is an acrylic. I used an acrylic to avoid some of the well documented problems with Kustom Kolors color coats. Hopefully, I can keep it up and get this thing going again.

A few more.

Looks great. I can vouch for the perfect paint job on this GTO, seeing it in person is amazing. I would never expect the Krylon to look so perfect

I'll be trying it out soon.

[Drgon63]

like it a lot... keep watching this one for sure

[pharr7226]

Foxer, thanks for the comment on the panels. I went through a few designs before I came up with something that I like.

Cesar, thanks bro. Any progress on the Magnum or the Mustang?

Bob, I really appreciate the compliment from a paint master. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with Crystal Clear. It dries hard and polishes well.

Drgron63, thanks.

Hopefully, I'll have some progress to post next week.

Keep on wit the keepin on fella and look forward the finish build!!

P.S the engine looks awesome too!! matter of fact the whole enchilada!!!lol

I love simple look of the 64 GTOs. Your paint looks great - color choices and application. Should be a nice looking car!

[pharr7226]

Ajulia, thanks. I appreciate the encouragement.

Mark, my choice of kits was pure ignorance and naivete. Almost every modification/scratch build that I made on this thing is a first for me. I only have one prior build under my belt that I completed as an adult. My teenage builds were all glue bombs and I stopped building when I was 15 or 16. Believe me, I've felt like I bit off more than I could chew on many occasions with this build. Thanks for feeling my pain.

Coyotehybrids, thanks for the compliment.

I never would have thought to scratch-build seats! outstanding! They look great. They will look a bit smaller with some clean-up.

The paint is sweet!

[pharr7226]

Thanks seeker589. I'm glad you like the the seats.
