Mooneyzs Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Brad... that looks great! I love the color of choice. I can't wait to see a little bit of weathering to it. It's going to look great. Glad to see you getting some bench time.
Codi Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Great choice of colors Brad. You're oh so close now. Nice job on the entire build. cheers, tim
gasser59 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Posted December 27, 2016 Love the 'flat red' Brad !!! RandyAround here we call that Arizona Red because of what the desert sun does to your paint.
426-Hemi Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 That interior tub is KILLER man!!!! NICE "rivet" work! And then the ole 392 Hemi looks right at home between those frame rails! GREAT job so far!
gasser59 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 Uh oh...I moved some PhotoBucket folders around and this si what I get. I'll post a few pictures of where I'm at now. Thanks for the comments and following along. I'm hoping to get this done for a contest this weekend.
Davewilly Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Looks pretty tough Brad! coming along nicely!
gasser59 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks so much Dave. I started sanding one of the front fenders last night and I'm not liking it one bit. Will have to go a different direction.
comp1839 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 the truck is bad ass, brad. what direction are ye contemplating on heading, if i may be so bold?
6bblbird Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Top notch! The paint looks perfect for a car like this and the tin work is terrific!WF

gasser59 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 Here's how the fender looks. Not liking it.
Davewilly Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Hey you could leave it like that ya know....Those Gassers where known to brush the wall (or even each other!) here and there.
gasser59 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah, I know Dave, I just don't like it so it got reshot with the flat red again.
Davewilly Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah, I know Dave, I just don't like it so it got reshot with the flat red again.Yeah I know the feeling...usually my fixes only make mine worse! But hey gotta try to make it better if you dont like something.
gasser59 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 About time I got back to work on this one. Got some weathering done to the body using a mixture of watercolors and gouache paints. A bit more weathering to do then I need to make a tonneau cover, make windows, head and taillights, parachute and grill. Probably a few other small items.
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Everything is looking great..!!!! The stance is perfect too. What great build you're doing.
Codi Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Man are you getting good at that Brad. All the work on your shop diorama (and experience gained) really paid off on the Willy's. Nice job. cheers, tim
stevez Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Have you tried the dr cranky salt method of weathering, thinking trying it myself
gasser59 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Posted March 11, 2017 Have you tried the dr cranky salt method of weathering, thinking trying it myselfNo I haven't. don't know enough about it. Guess I need to study up.
Nytrozilla Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Way cool Brad. That's going to look great with the weathering in contrast to the shiny interior.BTW, I got an order from the fastener place I linked to you. 0-80 & 00-90 nuts, bolts & washers: 350 pieces for $60.00.It's back to the bench for me.
