nboldman Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Alright guys im just letting you know that im 15 years old and this is my 3rd all out custom. now i cant put all the detail in it as i would like to but i love the looks of lowered and raised pickups. this is one that is slammed. Here are the picsthe last picture is a start of some scratch built air tanks. now i just need a gas tank to use. hint hint. let me know what you guys think. any color ideas? i do have an airbrush setup. but cant afford to many expensive paints. but just throw some suggestions!
n8dogginz Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I have that same kit, my buddie gluebombed it and handed it over, and i just pulled it from my pile last week. Whats awesome is i found everything essential to build it, even the glass, after it surfed with 10 other kits in a box with 150 pieces for 5 years. Im going with a mustard color if i ever get around to building it, but the colors all you buddie, its your kit! BTW do NOT stick that lil v6 in there, im sure you got at least a 350 layin' around, right?
nboldman Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 i dont think i do. the v6 was my last resort, but with no extra motors laying around i dont know if ill be able to get one to put in there
Wheels Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Nathan, You're off to a good start! Are you building a custom grille? Hard to tell from the photo. I owned a '98 S-10 and I loved it! It was white with black bumpers custom stripes and a black tonneau cover on the bed It was sharp! I started a '95 S-10 and its lowered and painted a Maroon or Burgandy Keep up the good work! It's looking awesome!
surfjunke Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 You are off to a great start, Nathan. You really slammed it & it looks very cool. Very clean building & conversion work. Since you have an airbrush set up, you can use just about any paint as long as it is properly thinned & compatible with the plastic. I would stay away from bomb (spray) cans, they are expensive compared to a bottle of paint. Plus, you can mix your own custom colors & control the paint flow much better. There are also pearl powders you can purchase for acrylic & solvent base paints you can mix with your paint for more custom options with the airbrush. Hope this helps & please keep the project going.
mannyclub Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Looks cool. Will be watching this one. Manny
