Great proyect its hard to keep the calm waiting to see more. You have everyone stuck to the forum checking for an update LOL

[Dr. Cranky]

It's been very humid here so I've been hesitant to shoot the primer. The sun is out today, and I hope to get some on there.

Also, I am still adding details to the chassis. Smoothing the body, etc . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

This is very close to what I am after:

How bout these...

[Dr. Cranky]

Samuel, those are sweet. I love the blue one.

I keep getting great inspiration from the pictures you are all posting.

Also, I got most of the sub-assemblies in primer, mainly the chassis, the body, engine, and a lot of the interior components.

Very hot and humid down here but I braved it this morning and didn't have the kinds of problem shooting primer I thought I would have.

I will have a round of progress pics up soon. Stay tuned in, and again, thanks for the support.

LOTS of GREAT looking cars on this thread, rusty and otherwise. I'm really anxious to see your version, Doctor.

[Dr. Cranky]

Well, I managed to brave it this morning and shoot the primer. Here are the results so far . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

I also mixed my own batch of acrylic turquoise with a few drops of Vallejo satin finish . . .

If all goes well I will be painting tomorrow. Stay tuned in.

[slammedi'am]

Looking good!

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks for keeping the ideas rolling, my friend. More progress soon.

[crazyjim]

I'd rather see SHINY :) , but I'm along for the ride on this one.

[Dr. Cranky]

Shiny is up next, Jim. LOL.

[Dr. Cranky]

All right, progress is being made. We now have the rust coat on the build and the wheels and tires are getting done.

The darkening you see on the edges and panel lines is pre-shading done with the airbrush . . .

Stay tuned in for more.
