brett Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Please dont get all anal over this (its going on my shelf right lol), its not going to be all that close to correct or detailed but should be close enough to look like what it should, confused? lol. Just a stressfree (yeah right) build while taking a small break from the Belair. HoK candy blue (couple of drops mixed with clear) over a silver base. Using the kit hemi not the correct olds cause once the hood is on all you see is the header tips and half the scoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Sumner Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Geez...what's NOT to like???

Terry Sumner Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The only trouble with old guys is they're so darn opinionated! .. just my opinion BTW Mike...I see you're from the Berkshires area of Mass? Although I was born in St. Albans, Vt...your area is half of where I'm from...my father is from North Adams as was my grandfather. We lived in Cheshire around 58 - 62. Moved away for some years and returned to Adams in the fall of 1967. I played football for the Adams High Hurricanes when we ended up moving back to Conn.

oldscool Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 That is some nice work Brett. Good paint. grumpy gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 No sweat Terry Kinda stalled on this whilst I wait for a lead on some decals, I know slixx have them but with the exchange rate and postage they work out around $20 a set to get them here so if I gotta go that way,I'll save up for a couple of weeks and get their buy three get one free deal. Did a little detail painting on some underside stuff last night then put it away to start on the next victim, a 69 Chevelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 That is some nice work Brett. Good paint. grumpy gus Thanks Grumpy (kinda feels like I'm talking to myself here) lol Paint was a real bear to get close as its a true candy so showed up any and all overlays more coats meant it was to dark this was actually about the third attempt. 1st one was real close but had a couple of real bad dark stripes behind the front guards on the doors and the 2nd was just too dark full stop. 3rd still had the stripe behind the doors problem but not as bad so carefully tried to wetsand it out, came up pretty good.I think once the decals go on it shouldn't be to noticeable.

Moved away for some years and returned to Adams in the fall of 1967. I played football for the Adams High Hurricanes when we ended up moving back to Conn. Oh cool, Terry. I moved here in '73 after college and stayed. But, I grew up in East Hartford! Came here mostly cause I refused to drive to work everyday in Hartford traffic. Here, it still takes only 10 minutes to work. Have lived in Lanesboro off Rt 8 most of the time ... 1 mile from Cheshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
