slammedi'am Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Finally got my ride height and suspension setup...I like it alot
slammedi'am Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Finally got the engine done.....Chassis is almost done and interior is still soaking
rmvw guy Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Beautiful paint, did you just hear an echo? This one is gonna turn out great, I love everything about it.
SteelyEd Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Really love how this is coming out! Shame about the interior. Don't remeber what color you used on the Chevelle, what color is it? Great job with the BMF, very nice!
slammedi'am Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Yup sucked about the interior...Decided on diff color...The paint is from Duplicolor and called Cordova brown met...Did this one over a black base and got a diff tone from it
Ramfins59 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Looks great Shane. Those interior side panels look pretty good to me..!!
OldsMObile Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I'm not normally a fan of brown, but that looks awesome. The display wheels look best, IMO. Wicked car. Nice build. Love the Olds.
slammedi'am Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks everyone....This is my first attempt at flocking so go easy on me lol....Got a few details left on the inside and it will be assembly time
Ramfins59 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Shane the interior looks great. You did on fine job on your first time with flocking.
Christopher J Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I agree. Looks a ton better than my first time flocking, that's for sure. The Cordova brown is a great color on that body, it looks killer. What did you use for your flocking to get it to stick? I was using mildly diluted white glue but switched to 3M adhesive. Only draw back and having to do quite a bit of taping sometimes to keep it off unwanted areas.
Rod Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm very impressed with how nice the color and wheels go together. I never thought of trying modern wheels but this really works for me. The interior is looking great. The best thing for applying flocking is to "rain" the flocking down on wet paint or glue with a small screened stainer like used for baking. The strainer gets rid of any lumps that may be in the flocking.
slammedi'am Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks everyone...I just using the clear Testor's glue and brushed it out even over the surface... Thanks Rod for the idea on the stariner....Ill have find one now
Joker Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 thanks for the update.. the flocking on the seats remind me of the old school mohair interiors Paint and Rollers Rock !
Davewilly Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Looks GREAT love that color and the stance of it.
slammedi'am Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Well got interior done tonight and its togethor...Almost lol
Tompidom Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 The interior looks good, The body even better! love the wheels you've put on it!
vintagedragfan Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 looking really nice Shane, I love the way this is turning out
Gluhead Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Looks great...and somehow I'm now having flashbacks of a bunny with a pancake on his head.
ningoth4 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Looking great! Where is that first set of wheels you had on there from. I like those. They look pretty real and I think they would work on one of my Bug projects. Kevin
slammedi'am Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks everyone..The first set was some wheels that I had messed up on so I just use them for mock up now...I did the wheels on my Chevelle that way and with this body color so didnt wanna do it twice.
Tom Geiger Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Your Olds looks great. Interior work is right on! Rich approved and he used to be the King of Flock back in the old days! Funny to see the Duplicolor Cordova brown metallic paint. I had a can from the $1 paint sale at Ollies a while back, and needed a dark brown for the fenders of my '28 Citroen panel. I sprayed it and WOW! What a great color. I made a note that I needed to do a whole car with it. And man, it looks great on your Olds! Here's the Cordovan brown on my panel. It's just the fenders, the body is cream colored.
