Skydime Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Looks great so far Phil. I can't wait to go to Hobby Lobby and get mine this weekend.
Greg Pugh Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I was just curious how this works/came out with the alligator clip holding your trunk lid on your painted surface.....?
Greg Pugh Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Nevermind. I just realized that the deck lid is from a '64.
lowriderphil Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 its all good Greg, just a junk part I had laying around, I wanted to see how the color compared to the lid on the can, the shade is right but it doesn't have the satin finish like that lid though.
lowriderphil Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 We finally had a cold front move into maryland this week and this morning was perfect for laying clear. I got the foiling all done yesterday.
lowriderphil Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 That sure came alive with the clear!! Thanks and only needs minor wetsand and waxing, just sitting down to do some engine wiring right now
lowriderphil Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 Finished up the engine a little bit ago
lowriderphil Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 Finished the interior up, steering wheel is currently drying, decided to test fit some heater hoses, first time doing this on a model.
lowriderphil Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Just finished waxing this one, a friend gave me this professional grade wax, kinda hard to get a good pic indoors, the clear only required mild wet sanding and this is just one 10 minute waxing.
VW Dave Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Slick indeed! I'm really diggin' this one, and looking forward to more pictures/updates.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Hum . . . glass finish. What kind of product is the Porzelac?
lowriderphil Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Hum . . . glass finish. What kind of product is the Porzelac? A friend of a friend retired and closed his body shop, and gave my friend a bunch of these cans.
lowriderphil Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Nearing the end of the road on this one, got the engine compartment all wired up tonight. All that's left is to install glass, paint headliner and final touches. I still need to find the header piece for between the bumper/grill, its here somewhere.
