gautreau Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Wow do I ever suffer from modellers A.D.D this month.I have a total of 4 build on my bench that all spend equal time being workrd on every day. But this one is the newest. Here is the inspiration behind the build. It will look very similar to it but not exactly like it. Mock-up. I filled in some fender trim mounting holes. I painted the rim center black. The chassis is all painted. The colors are dupli-color clover green pearl,testors gloss black, and aluminum. All covered in 3 coats of Folk Art clear. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

gautreau Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Thanx fellas I appreciate that.I hope to have more progress soon.
Duntov Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 It is really neat that you posted the photo of the inspiration for the car..... when you have that to go by the result is usually quite good.... you are proving that to be true... Nice work!!!
gautreau Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Finally got a chance to work on this build. I finished 2 customer builds a few weeks ago and took some time off from building.But now I'm back. Quick mock up with the new painted centers Ride height set. I'm going with a Hilborn set up on the 409.Still undecided on the color though. What do you guys think either black,gold or another shade of green? Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
slusher Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 What a great inspiration photo. Awsume ldea. Love the wheels and engine. On the engine you could go body color or even silver.
gautreau Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 Thanx I appreciate your opinion Slusher. Thanx Car Man I appreciate that.
tooltas Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 why not white pearl and red guts and candyred block
gautreau Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 Thanx fellas I appreciate it. Toolas, thanx for your opinion,unfortunately at this time the chassis is already painted and assembled. Other wise that would have been a great color combo. Anybody else have a suggestion on the colour of the motor?
knarf Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 how about this? it's model master green zinc chromate
Cesar Bossolani Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Nice project! Where did you got that Hilborn?
TheRX7Project Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Wow can't wait to see more. I think gold injector stacks would fit the green nicely.
gautreau Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 Thanx fellas I really apreciate the comp. I have decided to paint the block gold. Cesar,I got the Hilborn set up from Scale Dreams.It can be found in the Parts By Parts section. Thanx for posting the engine pic 502. I was originally going to replicate the whole car including the engine cover. But I decided just to use the car as a guide instead.
slusher Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Looking forward to your progress Jeremy, Gold is a good choice...
