MachinistMark Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 all this building, and napping....bryan... dont you work? looks good though bud.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Come up, rise and shine, drink a couple of those root beer floats, the 10 thousand calorie special! LOL!
bryan_m Posted November 17, 2012 Author Posted November 17, 2012 oh no buddy, no more of those...........i only drank one! LOL im sure it had to be well over 3000 calories though! bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Try a rootbeer float with condensed milk and some vanilla ice cream, that should put you over the 6000 calorie mark, enough energy to see you through our next 3 builds. Hey, no sleeping during this build. Get to the bench, it's the Sunday before the Big Bird lands on the table.
Ira Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 GREAT PROGRESS BRYAN!!! The Weathered paint is Looking Real Good...
BKcustoms Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Nice work Bryan! the weathered paint looks very realistic.
bryan_m Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 thanks guys! you guys think it looks good? i was seriously gonna strip it and start over..... bryan
H.A.K Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 It looks kool with the blue coming thu the gray like that. Keep it like that. IDK.
bryan_m Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 while i am deciding the fate of the body, i guess ill start on the frame. im plan on really detailing this one.......brake lines, fuel lines, and maybe even emergency brake cables.....maybe. more to come bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Eye candy, eye candy . . . we need our daily dose of eye candy.
bryan_m Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 ive got all my frame/suspension parts ready to be cleaned up....... im gonna use some brake drums that my buddy danny makes.... and some pen springs that i will cut down to fit in place of the kit ones...... more to come bryan
bryan_m Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 thanks fred! the body is starting to grow on me........i dont think im gonna strip it. im gonna start doin a little weathering to it and see where it takes me....... bryan
Duntov Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I like the worn paint technique a lot.... I have used very fine steel wool to do something similar but I like yours a bit better.... not sure I will keep going with the wool.... but it does work..... Edited November 22, 2012 by Duntov
Dr. Cranky Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Hope you will make more progress soon, buddy.
JasonFL Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Yea, I've been wondering the same thing. Hope everything's ok.
cobraman Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Ya, he has not posted in several days and that is unlike him. I have had no reply from a PM I sent him which is also not like him. Maybe computer problems ? Hopefully things are ok and he will be back with us soon.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 He lost his internet. I am sure he'll be back soon.
