After seeing this one already on another forum I believe what Tyrone did to achieve the green pinstriping was to leave the mask in place after painting the purple and then free handing the outline using the mask as a guide. It really is the easiest way to do this without wavering on your line work.

Great job Tyrone.

Awesome job you do seriously. That detailing is perfect, really impressive work with the engine, altough. Scott Shafiroff engines are pretty popular, great choice to use it. Paint is also amazing, I like the job, you did on the flames. B):lol:

I love the pro mods.

I have a file on my computer for future builds and tips,ideas.

And every time I run across builds like this they go to those files.

Keep up the good work.

The Camaro looks great Tyrone!, like the flame job against the orange, are you gonna add any more flames to it or is it done?. Started the Nova this weekend, primered the body yesterday to see where I need to do some more work, hopefully I'll try to post some pics of it this week.

Very impressive Tyrone.

The paint and the details are all VERY good.

I need to try one of these but I'm afraid of how many years from start to finish it'll take me.

What's up fellas I've put a couple more coats of clear on this one after giving it time to dry, while waiting on that I gotthe nos bottlesin and added some nut and bolt head details to the rear wing also, I've got the windows cut out and are working on those now, debating on whether to add some decals on this one before the last coat of clear, let me know what you think???

Agreed. It looks fantsatic. However, rather that brush the pinstriping, what about using a gel pen? You could easily follow the tape edge and in theory leave a perfect thin line. What do you think? Could this work?

Great job, with all the detail you might as well go all the way and get sponsor decals on it too.

As far as the pinstripes I have used gel pins and it looks no better than what he has here. The only really good stripes I have seen were done by a pro pinstripper and they were out of this world, way beyone us mear mortals.

a few pics of where I am so far, I decided to add a few sponsor decals to the car, I got the spoiler braces on and got the rear chutes mounted. The rear glass is in. more to come thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Very clean work, well done :) I'm just curious, what is the reason for the netting on the wheelie bars?

Keeps the chute from getting tangled in long bars when it's deployed.

And I agree - that's one of the nicest Pro Mods I've seen!
