65 Chevy Make Over

[James2]

Built this about four year ago, nothing fancy just a plain Jane kinda build.

While waiting on some paint for the Under Slung I figured it's time to do a make over.

Just getting started, sorting out parts and cleaning up for new paint. I really like these new wheels from Pegasus.

Got it just a bit lower in the rears.

Not sure about colors yet, but it will be weathered and worn. Thanks for looking....

can't wait to see how it turns out

cool !! the new wheels look awsome ..

paint wise tbh i kind of love the sanded look already !!

maybe try to ise some darker washes to make the light spots darker and give it some depth ...

I was sad when I saw you were stripping the paint, but when I saw the mockup pic with the whitewalls, I swear you should leave it like that maybe add some different washes to the body for a patina look

[James2]

Thanks guys. I really want to try some washes and some salt chipping. but I will be doing a little sanded look also.

I would like to make the sanded area look more to scale if you know what I mean. The way it looks now is just a sanded model to me.

I think it looks great all sanded down,i will be watching!
Im a sucker for patina looking trucks!

[Phizz]

I agree, The sanded version looks cool!

[James2]

Well it does not have the just sanded look, but it is beginning to look a little worn. First attempt at using Sea Salt chipping. I'll still be doing quite a bit of weathering with powders and washes.

I'll admit that I was a little sad to see a beating applied to that truck, but the results were worth it. I like it.

Thank you guys, I may get to work on it some today. I will be dry brushing some age spots and adding some weathering to most of the chrome next.

I like your sig, David.^^^
