Drago Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Hi Guys. Unfortunately, I have no time enough as I wish to describe all photos. I hope they are self explication. I’m a big fan of Foose’s projects. So, I decided to star this one: Butterscorched The kits used for this project: Cut & glue front sides: Front grafting (using a small piece of pen) Body work GMC hood conversion: Color test: Base layer and final layer Chassi work Firewall work Truck’s inside fenders work The real one: and...(sorry for the advertising) :oops: The material wasn't strong enough. So, I decided to copy and cast in resin. And for me, the coolest work so far: THE WHEELS! The correct model is the NITROUS II: A friend of mine made the exactly Foose’s Nitrous wheel model using CAD software. Then, a specialized company made it in 1:25 scale using prototyping process. Matter of fact, I asked him to design the NITROUS CHROME, because in this case, I’ll get two different wheels with only a few fulfill job in that holes. So, that is the model that was designed: Here, the process: Of course, still need sand & refine work on this, but isn’t cool or what???? I hope you guys like it… this project is running at baby steps. But, I promise update as soon as possible. Please, please, suggestions and comments are very welcome!!!

MrObsessive Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Alex, I love the way you do your body work...everything comes out nice and straight! 8) Clever idea for the inner fenders..................I have to try that! BTW, what kind of putty are you using? Most putties I've seen have a greenish/blue appearance.

cruz Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 You know this guy is good when Bill Geary is asking questions :shock: :shock: Very cool work man, hope to see more.............
Drago Posted July 6, 2007 Author Posted July 6, 2007 1st: Hi guys. Thank you all for the comments. Obrigado Ismael! 2nd: To be compared with Bill Geary is a honor. Tks Enzo and Marco Cruz, but I guess I still have a long way to get there! Bill, thanks for your time here! I appreciated a lot. The putty is from PPG: P242 Beige: I’m testing it. It was my first work with it. To be honest, this putty is nice, but it’s needed to apply very slowly, otherwise, a lot of air bubble will soak the area. Again, thanks a lot. I hope get back on this project very soon…Right now, I’m working on a “greatâ€AMT: General Lee -huf!- (and all corrections that must be done aswell). :evil:
ratrodder Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Drago, beautiful work. I love that front end treatment. Say, aren"t you the one that built that fantastic 50's yellow ford pick up?
Steve H. Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Beautiful work! Its especially nice to see the modded part next to a kit part. That makes your work stand out.
