bryan_m Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 got the rear bumper weathered a bit, i didnt wanna go too far, a little weathering on chrome goes a long way.......plus most trim is stainless steel...but bumpers arent. its more dirt than anything.... a couple shots in place.... stay tuned, more to come bryan
bryan_m Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 i got the grille openings cleaned up a bit more.....and i got lucky! this kit has a really nice rad support, with rad detail on the outside of it! sure saved me alot of work, now i dont have to make one! a few shots i do have a regular cutlass hood coming......im just using this one for mock up.. thanks for lookin guys! cheers bryan

Dr. Cranky Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Bingo, you got it. OH boy, that rear bumper is looking great. Keep up the good progress. And welcome to Fotki.
bryan_m Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Bingo, you got it. OH boy, that rear bumper is looking great. Keep up the good progress. And welcome to Fotki. thanks cranky, glad ya like it. i thought i might have went too far with the weathering on the rear bumper, but it is mostly "grungy grey" and "brown dirt" yes, i hope fotki works better man, photobucket had been operating very poorly lately, i mean, i know its free but geez! you kinda expect some half way decent service from these guys! LOL ok, im done complainin! back to work cheers bryan Edited September 5, 2012 by bryan_m
bryan_m Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 i just noticed from my reference pics that the tail lights have a silver surround on them.........so its time to get out some liquid making potion and get the lenses covered up, then shoot the rest silver.. stay tuned bryan
bryan_m Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 heres what im up to now....... more to come bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Keep it going, chap. More eye candy when you can.
cobraman Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I like the way the rear bumper turned out. It really looks rusty and pitted. Good job.
59 Impala Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Man Bryan, each time I look at this build I'm liking it more and more. Great job so far. Dan
Ira Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 GREAT PROGRESS BRYAN!!! The rear bumper looks Great, Nice Technique...Thanks...
JasonFL Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 LOOK RAY............I AM READY TO WORK!!!!!!! LOL stay tuned fellas! cheers bryan Ok, 1. You must go to the bathroom ALOT! and 2. What exactly is Art Masking Fluid? The project is coming along, everything is turning out really nice, especially the rear bumper. Can't wait to see you do the paint work, keep it going.
bryan_m Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 thanks guys! i appreciate the comments...... jason, that is a liquid masker, it works where you cant use tape... be it too small or just too much curve or whatever..... ill be making these lights later, ill post pics of it for you... cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 ive got the DVD of this movie now, so i am armed with way more reference pics.......i just noticed that i will have to open the trunk up on this one...on the movie car the trunk doesnt shut properly (imagine that) and its held closed by a bungee............and the left tailight is covered with that clear red tape you can get for a quickie busted tail light fix! this is gonna be cool.......it has way more stuff wrong with it than i originally thought! ill be at the bench in a bit fellas, stay tuned! cheers bryan
