Thor Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Hi This is a project to test my new airbrush, never used an airbrush before so wish me luck going with flames (masks from chris) and untraditional colors, copper, brown and black well, here is where the car is at the moment.

Greg Pugh Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 That's a mean-looking '49. Good luck to ya! What kind of airbrush are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharr7226 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 This is going to be a nice build. Where did you find wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 With the work that's in the making, and the tentative stance, that thing is going to look evil flamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Edman Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 How did u do the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoSpud Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I am assuming those are 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV wheels from a die cast model? nice touch! This is going to be an awesome build to watch, this sort of custom is right up my alley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoSpud Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Actually come to think of it i would be keen to build up a model like this one, but to my own design, what manufacturer makes this kit? My local toy store will order in anything I like. Pays to be a loyal customer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 How did u do the top? I'd like to know about the chop as well. I have a 49 in the planning stages and I'd like to chop the top. Any advice you can give would be appreciated. Looks like you laid the windshield back some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Interesting build. I'm looking forward to reading answers to the questions already posted and seeing those flames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi thanks for nice words, but i cant take cred for the design, I used a sketch i found in Rod & custom done by Harry Bradley later buildt by Sam Foose But i`m building it the way i think it may look good. The roof was "dropped" straight down and tilting the windshield and rear glass to match up with the roof, keeping the roof stock The wheels are some Fujimi`s from the 90`s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Did you have to pie cut the roof to get the a & c pillars to line up again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
