Thor Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Hi this is a project for a competition with pre 1940 and european make. I got a 1935 Mercedes 500K along with some other bodies in a box from a friend. Thought i could make it a Gasser look a like. Here is where i`m at the moment Edited July 9, 2011 by Thor
a/gass Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 yes i like.more pics.been thinking of doing a rolls???
Dirty Gringo Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 This is so cool looking keep it up I will be following this build up
W-409 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Great project, Gassers are really great subject. Using a Mercedes body is great idea, that's something really rare in Drag Racing... Engine fits nicely, and I like the rear tires, but those front tires are too small, I think. It would look better with higher profile front tires, I think, that those are way too small. Tires and wheels are from a dragster kit now? But anyway, it's a great project, I'll be watching it very surely.
charlie8575 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Stuggart must be pitching a thousand fits right now. Nothin' I love to see more. Charlie Larkin
Thor Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 hi I have painted the frame with red transparent over silver. stipes (0,5mm)is masked directly on the white primer. Going to start mask up the body tonight.
Thor Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 Hi Started painting the body. primed with white primer then masked of "pin striping" directly onto it. Then i painted the first color, pink pearl now waiting to dry enough to mask up again for second color. Well here is some pictures
Thor Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 The color is a Duplicolor pink (dont remember the no) with a coat of pink pearl nail polish over it. A picture of a quick mock up of the progress so far. headers from solder btw
Terror Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 nice work,never seen anyone paint a frame like that,very cool.
