kingiguana Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I built this ( body and some interior only ) from AMTs 58 Impala. A friend of mine is really into the barn find/rust bucket look. So, here she is,....painted Krylon Celery over red oxide primer with the salt and rubber cement technique. And, also used various weathering powders. Also, I added a "mint" door on the passenger side, and broke headlight, cracked another, and mounted one at a angle. Its sitting on a chassis just for the pics. He wanted weathered, he got weathered. This will be used for slot car drag racing. Edited August 21, 2013 by kingiguana
Dominik Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Weathering looks good! I have to try those technic... Like it. Must be a cool looking slotcar if its on the track
Guest Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Very nice, one glaring mistake, far too clean wheels and tires.
kingiguana Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks, everyone. And, as for the wheels and tires its only a mockup for the pics. Besides, following the current rat rod/patina trend new wheels and tires on a rusty car, its kinda accurate nowdays. The heartbreaking part was, this was the best baremetal job I ever did. And I end up having to dullcoat it all. I did a quick interior up too, but I'm not sure of how much of it he will use, once depending on what the clearances are for the slot chassis.

Tukkerdax Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Nice car. But watch out with cutting the BMF. At the second foto you see the cuttingmarks into the paintjob..... Great job !
kingiguana Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Yea I seen those cut marks a quick scuff and a dab of rust powder, and she's all good. Plus since its gonna be raced its gonna get track glue all over it. Lol. But, thanks and, good eyes.
