Railfreak78 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Hey everyone This is going to be a full blown all out custom rod that is inspired by one I found online. This particular car has some bad mold lines and when I went to sand them and bondo low spots, My new tube of bondo came out like water all over and created so much work. I started with 400 grit and have wet sanded down to 1500. It's actually smooth even though some spots do not look like it. When the rain lets up I'll hit it with more primer. This kit has inner door panels and hinges so I took the time to open this one up with a blade. I hope the weather clears soon as I'm really getting into this one ( Oh the bad gap really isnt that bad, The door are stuck to tape ) Edited January 14, 2011 by Railfreak78
crazyjim Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 I'm gonna watch this one, Brian. I built that kit a few months ago and hope to get another in my hands in 2011.
mikelo Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Please keep us posted as I have a few ideas for mine as well. Mike
Railfreak78 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 Here is an update on this one. After a LOT of body work to get rid of seams and mold lines, I finally got some paint on it. There is a spot on the passenger side I'm not happy with but I'm in a time crunch so it will have to do.......
Model Junkyard Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 That's a great looking color for this truck... I agree! Great color. That's also a nice kit.
Danno Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I'm guessing you're shooting for completion by the 15th! It's coming right along!!
Krazy Rick Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 This is a nice looking build you got going here - the color really suits it
David G. Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 The blue is much nicer than the red. Keeper rollin' David G.
Railfreak78 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Thank you everyone for the comments! Here is a small update. The car is actually together now with the interior done. I hope to get better pictures soon as I couldnt get good light tonight. I have a few exterior things to finish and some touch up paint. This time around the doors are actually done and not taped in The passenger door hangs down which stinks. I need to learn hinges as the ones in this kit are not friendly but for my first one with open doors, I'm happy.
Tony T Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Great looking build! Love the vast array of Monacos in the back ground!
Nick Winter Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 How did I miss this one! Wow, the color suits it so good. Like the opening doors too. Nick
Railfreak78 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks Everyone for your comments. It's done and moved now. Hope you like it
