stump Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Yeah Rom, you've "ripped" right into this one, hey. And I find the result very apeeling.............................. Man, I am so pumped seeing this beautiful masterpiece unfold before my eyes.
1320wayne Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Rom this is coming out great. The paint work is fantastic and it looks like when it's all done the overall presentation with the base and all will be very overwhelming.
Pro Tech Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Rom, paint work looks great! That's alot of thought process, a real brain drain .............. Charlie Pro Tech
thumper86 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Paint is beautiful !!!!! My fav. pic is the chassis on the stands PERFECT!

Hey Wayne I learned a lil somethin somethin from you buddy and I hope you dont mind but im gonna make a racing jacket to slump over the fender of the front clip. Its all about presentation once you have a good model right?
Magic Photos Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Rom looking great. Very nice paint work.The jacks look great also.
futurattraction Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Amazing paint work, Rom. Your build is really comng together beautifully.
FASTBACK340 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks John Ive been working on the body and getting all the small details like wiring and stuff like that done I'll post a bunch of pics of the work Ive completed tomarrow. And because I have to paint in my garage Im waiting on weather to permit. Thanks for following along and for not ripping me a new one LOL!  Dude. When I see a "name" modeler mount safety harnesses to ALUMINUM WHEEL TUBS as anchor points......I feel justified pointing it out.But not you my internet-friend. Your attention to CORRECT detail is impressive. I've been wrenching for over 35 yrs. and know how a car operates and is assembled. What your building is RIGHT.
Dragracer Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 The paint is just fantastic Rom1, I had to look at the front clip a few times to get my eyes to adjust!, the rips look great!
FASTBACK340 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Now, back to the present. After catching up with the last 4 pages I missed all I can say is wow.... your workmanship and attention to detail is flat out awe inspiring. Hopefully on a future visit to the west coast I can time it with a show. I'd love to see your work in person and shake your hand. The skills your sharing is amazing... Not to single out people, but there's a handful of you guys here on the forum that build like machines. And build impressively. Thanks for sharing with us all.

John why wait for a show just let me know when your in southern Cali and we'll make arrangements to hook up buddy. Im always happy to meet a fellow builder.
FASTBACK340 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 John why wait for a show just let me know when your in southern Cali and we'll make arrangements to hook up buddy. Im always happy to meet a fellow builder. My brother in law lives in the S.F. Bay Area and we come out once a year. As for southern Cali, we spent 11 days between L.A. & San Diego blasting around in a drop-top in `07. Awesome memories and I hound Amy on a regular basis to go back. Believe me, you'll get a PM if we come out!
jmpsebring Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks for answering the paint ????'s I noticed on youtube quite a few technique vids. Some from a fellow member...Dr Cranky i think. Some guy showing real flame and bubble techniques.
Mooneyzs Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Oh Rom... I am waiting for some more paint updates.... I am excited to see what you have in store for us next on this build.
Romell R Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 Oh Rom... I am waiting for some more paint updates.... I am excited to see what you have in store for us next on this build. You got it Chris ..... I did some touch ups to the paint got the white folds on the front clip outlined and I did the decals. up next is clear. heres what i have up to now. Doors.... Cya again tomarrow...............
Mooneyzs Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Rom.... That looks awesome with the decals. Nice work and placement of them. The front clip looks even better now that you outlined the white folds. What did you use to do them? Great job bud!

The front clip looks even better now that you outlined the white folds. What did you use to do them? Great job bud! Chris I used a fine point sharpie pen to do the outlines. Romell ......AWESOME!!!!!!! Thanks Ol Buddy I know thats heart felt, lookin forward to seein ya both in AZ.
Mooneyzs Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Rom Great idea on that. gonna keep that tip in the back of my mind and maybe use it on my build.
jmpsebring Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 That just transformed the whole paint job! Congrats on the design, tecnique, color choice....the blue pops so nice against the orange
W-409 Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Only thing I can say right now is paintjob looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! That design is just perfect and you managed to paint it without removing the paint. That would be inpossible for me when trying to paint that kind of paintjob.
brett Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Definitely the wildest paint job I've seen on a model , great job. Cant wait to see it shine with the clear on it
gasser59 Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 That's the wildest and most colorful paint scheme I've ever seen, whether full scale or not. Way to go Rom!!
1320wayne Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I can't wait to see the entire paint job come together once you get the body on the chassis. All of the seperate areas look great but I'm sure it's going to be utterly amazing when it all comes together.
