Sleek, lowdown, big and oh so sexy! I can't wait to see the finish! My dad had a 69 Charger, back when I was knee high to a grasshopper. I have always been fond of this body style. I'm watchin' and enjoyin' what I'm seein'!.....This one will be one sweet ride! Keep on truckin'.....

the temp and humidity must have been just right, cause the clear laid down like glass! i got one little dirt nib in it, and a teeny tiny drop of water, but they will sand out im sure...im happy with the results. i have lost 80 percent of the vinyl top detail, so ill have to figure out what to use to put the texture back on it......

thats all for now, i am beat for sure. need a nice long nap!

thanks for lookin guys, and i appreciate the comments.

cheers

Delicious and so SHINY :) :) :) . I think I'm in love. What kind of clear did you use, Bryan? Are you going to sand and polish? WAKE UP - you gotta finish this puppy.

thank you for the kind words guys! i actually detailed a car today (1:1) and i just got done.....now i have to wash clothes! bummer!

the clear is duplicolor acrylic lacquer, as is the metallic black, the silver and the red paint.......the conditions were just right this morning to shoot this puppy, and im really happy with the way it looks. Yes i am gonna "scuff n buff" it.....ill sand it flat and polish it out....it will be even more shiney!

its been a very long time since i have done shiney, now i gotta do the rest of the small body parts, and get them all shot with paint.

thats all for now, i am very tired, and worn out from workin, i might hit the bench later, but dont hold your breath............LOL

thanks again guys

cheers

thanks
