my80malibu Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Love it, where did you get the window cranks and door handles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited November 9, 2013 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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