I decide to work with the flat finish on the interior............... so I used this product............

I make a mix of 3 part product and 1 part water.................. this is the final result.............

I like the final finish............ Now to work with the engine..............

Love it, where did you get the window cranks and door handles?

Now I will work with the engine............. I will like to ask........ some one have pics of this kind of engine so I can use as reference........ I google but no satisfactory results............

The engine in the Revell chopped Merc kit represents a Cadillac V8, in either 331, 365 or 390 cubic inch capacity. These engines were very similar visually, and the basic design was built from 1949 through 1962. Here's a google image search for "390 Cadillac", which shows the basic engine with different induction systems, etc. https://www.google.com/search?q=390+cadillac&client=firefox-a&hs=F50&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ELB9Ute9EcyrkQey4oGgDQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1557&bih=738

Great build, that interior looks awesome.

[om617]

Sweet,really like the fat exhaust

[Dinky]

Very nice progress!

Awesome build, the color combo on the interieur is great.

I love to work with Vallejo paint, its cheap and very easy to use.

Hi everyone........

I worked on the body today........

I tried the mask for the flames.......

I was so happy with the result.......... until I realize that I made a mistake........... The paint that I tried to use didn't worked with the base coat.......... you can paint enamel on acrylics but no acrylics over enamel............ . So my paint job ends in.......... my good old friend oven cleaner..............

now I will fix a few things that I saw............... and re paint the body with the same brand that I used for the interior and chassis............

I will post more pics...........

[hjracing]

I'm sorry to hear that. Don't worry! I have 3 models in oven clener right now!

I hope to fix everything tomorrow and paint Wednesday............

i will post more pic...............

[Dr. Cranky]

I am thoroughly enjoying this thread. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the new paint.

[frozono]

Thanks every one.............

I did some work on the body.......... I work with the hood and body to make them look even...........

and give the body 2 coats of black primer...................

Just wait for it to dry...... and try to do a flame job.............

I will post more pics.............

Luis.... Looking good on the paint again. That primer looks killer. Looking forward to the flames on this one

I decided to use some stromberg carburetors......................

I prepared the engine block for paint...................

And finished the paint............

I will detail it with some chrome....................
