Psychographic Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 I've got the base and midcoat on the frame, driveshaft, and rear, Unfortunately I ran out of clear, I'll bring some home and clear it tomorrow night.
bryan_m Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 that looks freakin great Dave!! killer work cheers bryan
Pat Minarick Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Dave ,Looking really cool! Glad to see you getting some paint on something. Can't wait to see it done!
Bernard Kron Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I love this! It breaks all the rules and will look oh so impressive when it's done. I especially appreciate that your working entirely in styrene and fabricating so many detail pieces. The motor, the first painted and finished assembly you've shown us so far, has come out very succesfully.
Psychographic Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) I remembered to bring home some clear, the frame, rear and driveshaft are all a very shiny blue pearl. A better shot of the color, it's hard to get a good pic of it. I've got the back hinged. You can see I've started on the door panels too. Edited October 20, 2012 by Psychographic
Austin T Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Great so far,I hope you know that you can't leave us hanging any point untill its finished Edited October 20, 2012 by Austin T
mrm Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Amazing work. The engine is like a little jewel. I love the color too.
crazyrichard Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 that blue is awsome , love to see that shot in some daylight outside or sunshine
Psychographic Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 A shipment from the audio store arrived in the mail today.
bryan_m Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 awesome! the door panels and the stereo equip look great in there.......very nice work! cheers bryan
Bartster Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Alright, David! l had to put my 3-D stuff up for a while to do some flat art. But you "talked" me into getting the Wagon Rod! Got 2 on the way. l LOVE what you're doing with this & hope to keep up! Surf's up, dude!
mrm Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Very cool, but may I suggest something? Put the rack with the amps where the subs are now and make a box for the subs where the amps are now. Subwoofers need an airtight enclosure to work and the way you have them now is unrealistic, as they are exposed at their back and pumping into the floor. Either their faces or their backs need to be enclosed. If you you like the detail on their backs to be seen, then you can make a box with its front clear. This way you would be able to see their faces inside the box and their backs sticking out on the other side.
crazyrichard Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) lol kicker amps and solobaric's thats cool some inspiration ? my m8's car (only for shows) a shape like this kinda fits with the dash and center console you made !! with a joke a stealth 18" soloX Edited October 21, 2012 by crazyrichard

Not all subs need to be airtight, free-air and ported subs aren't sealed. Moving along, the amps and subs are painted, the box and cap are just about ready for primer and bodywork.

GerN Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Very original, and well-executed. I think woofers do need some way to prevent the out of phase sound waves from front and back from partially cancelling each other. I'm really enjoying this build.
GerN Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 You've inspired me to tear apart my gluebomb, extract the Offy and slice it up. Here's a photo that might help you.
Psychographic Posted October 27, 2012 Author Posted October 27, 2012 You've inspired me to tear apart my gluebomb, extract the Offy and slice it up. Is it the monogram kit? I'd love to have a pic of a box stock engine.
