Tradeshowjoe Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Been working on this one for a little while, since I've decided to hang out here, it's time to share all my WIPs (only a few). I'll spare you the details but.. I was up to the painting of the first color (it'll be 2- tone) and... "messed up". so stipper and body work done all over, just now recovering, almost back to the paint. some more...

pharr7226 Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 The motor and body work look great. I'm sorry to hear about the paint. I'm sure that you'll recover nicely.
Romell R Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 This should prove to be a piece of art once finished... keep up the good work!
modelhut Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 This should prove to be a piece of art once finished... keep up the good work! Joe, this is coming-out great! I will be following this build with great interest Rod
Tradeshowjoe Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 little bit of progress yesterday. Got my hood hinge worked out. With the hood hinged from the front I am going to be able to display the car with the engine skirts on or off. Just about ready to start my paint job on this one.
Tradeshowjoe Posted July 24, 2010 Author Posted July 24, 2010 Wow! can't believe it's been so long since I posted an update on this one! Well You missed the messed up paint job and repair to most all the body work due to stripping said paint job. Well lemme tell you, it was a bit gut wrenching. No whining though, it's all over now. I repainted the piss poor paint white paint job with a nice one. Then I let her cure and today I wet sanded the white nice and smooth and added the clear mixed with Pearl X "micropearl". I put in a bit too much of the powder. I wanted a pearl White, and ended up with almost silver. It all good however, the color will mate real nicely with the next color (House of Kolor "Maple Nut"). It will be solid at the bottom and fade out about 3/4 of the way up the body. Thanks for checking it out. Oh and per a recent post I commented on; Feel free to tell me what you really think. If There is any comment positive or negative, just let me know, I'm new, open minded, and thick skinned (or is that fat headed?). "pearly"
Agent G Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I like the way that came out, especially how you extended the front fenders and under the grill. Looking forward to the completed paint. G
crazyjim Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I think the color looks pretty good. I like what you did with the forward tilting hood. I have '36 Ford going and might try your idea. Thanks.
Steven Zimmerman Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 This is turning rather nicely!.....What wheels are you going to use?....'Z'
