gautreau Posted February 19, 2013 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gautreau Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gautreau Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gautreau Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
