Well seems like my model has no interest on here since no one has replied lol. Anyways Ive been busy with work since i started the thread. But since I was layed off yesterday i have more time to build. So i painted it today. Its a purple from WallyWorld.

Painted both hoods cause IDK which one i want to use yet lol

Painted the Frame to match the body

Maybe not many comments cause it was still early in the progress and there have been a few of these on the board lately? Who knows? Nice paint choice though. What are your plans for the build? What are those two large pieces under the hoods? Custom fender skirts? I've got to get me one of these kits someday.

Later-

It's a good start. What color you thinking for inside? I'm thinking white and keep the white walls on it

[Bill Edman]

nice have fun with it

It's not unusual to not get many (or none) replies when it's in the mock up stage. We get lots of those. Show us some work, like you have, and you'll see more interest, like you did.

I'd also like to know where the paint came from and what form it's in. The paint looks real smooth, are you airbrushing? I'd also like to offer you some building suggestions if you are interested. I'll take it to PM if you want.

Sorry to hear you lost your job. It's tough out there right now. Car is looking good. Keep er' goin'.

That's a very different color.-In a good way. Chrome reverse w/ wide whites?

[DSHWoodworks]

Cool color! My uncle has a jeep that color. Can't wait to see more.

It looks great with those whitewalls

[maltsr]

I like the colour Ben, and agree with white interior/whitewalls. Great start, I've built a couple of these myself, it's a great kit

Modlbldr yes your right they are the custom fadeaway fenders, But im not using them as it requires you to mold them into the body, and this is pretty much just a slumpbuster build. So i'm not going to dramatic with it

Jantrix, The paint it Rattle can from Walmart. Its the Purple in the Color Place line. I have never owned an airbrush in my life. So i just use rattlecans for now. lol

You would be surprised at how well they fit ...I have done 3 now, and the fit of the kit, OOB is sweet!...The pontoons scared me, but when I did, they needed almost no filler...careful fitting!

[SnakeBite Models]

personally i didnt like the look of them fenders. I did mock them on the body but it didnt excite me lol. Oh and as for the paint. I apologize for giving the wrong brand color. The paint i used it Krylon Rich Plum in the rattlecan. More pics tonight!

[SnakeBite Models]

Got some more done on it last night.
