blunc Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 You could try taking a profile foto and photoshopping colors on it to see what looks good.
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 How about black with a red-pearl-in-clear topcoat? It would be subtle yet dramatic when you walk around it, flashing red-pearl highlights to show off the sculptural bodywork.
crazyjim Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Very interesting build and nice body work going on. I can't wait to see how you do the front end.

Thanks (yep, noobie!)
Kennyboy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 I've always wanted to know how to paint this effect. Any tips? Thanks (yep, noobie!) Any time I have done something like this, I used a pearl powder added to the intercoat clear before the clear topcoat.
Kennyboy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Very interesting build and nice body work going on. I can't wait to see how you do the front end. Thank you, the front grille will be created with rods to resemble billet. The front suspension however, that is going to be interesting.
zenrat Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Stock engine or are you going to try & squeeze something bigger in there?
Kennyboy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Not sure on the motor yet, been busy with body work. Got more progress.......one more sanding session needed with 600 grit. Sorry they are a little blurry. Silly camera!
DrKerry Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 one more sanding session needed with 600 grit. Sorry they are a little blurry. Silly camera! Now now, it's not the camera. Your hand was still in sanding mode and didn't turn off for the picture!!!!!!! LOL

Kennyboy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Back with some more progress.........decided to go with a 32 valve supercharged cobra motor. Rotora 6 pot calipers..... Tein s-tech springs Body will be in paint soon......going with candy tangerine over molly orange.
Kennyboy Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 Hey guys! Got some more progress on this build...... Front grille soldered.....the black is only sharpie. Had to make new mounts for the rear suspension due to the MUCH larger wheels. Finally sitting on four wheels! Comments are welcome. Thanks!
jrherald420 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Is that the engine from a Mustang Mach III or the Super Stallion?

Kennyboy Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 i would have made wheel base longer I did have to stretch the wheelbase another 3/8" to accomodate the larger wheels. That's sweeeeet! Ben Thank you Ben.
