Custom Mike Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Pat, how did you do this to the underside of the hood? It looks like a kit part! Edited December 2, 2012 by Custom Mike
Pat Minarick Posted December 2, 2012 Author Posted December 2, 2012 Pat, how did you do this to the underside of the hood? It looks like a kit part! Just some strips of styrene and covered the rough body work with embossing powder .I was trying to make it look like a fiberglass hood .
Custom Mike Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 It looks great, I'm gonna steal that trick for myself! If you paint the textured area Black or Gray, it would look perfect as the underhood insulation!

Pat Minarick Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 It finally was warm enough to paint this weekend ! Going to give it a couple weeks to dry before I polish it.Most of the interior and chassis are done,might get it done this year !
Pat Minarick Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) Well it's painted ,still have to wet sand and polish it out. Shouldn't be much longer , I hope ! Edited May 15, 2013 by Road Runner 79

Pat Minarick Posted December 8, 2012 Author Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) I found some headlight from the Hot Rod version of the Beverly Hillbillies car today and have almost everything painted. Edited May 15, 2013 by Road Runner 79
Lunajammer Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Watch your step. A guy could fall into the deep end of that body paint and never be heard from again.
