MsDano85gt Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 does anyone else carry over their modeling skills into the 1:1 world of their daily drivers project cars, street and hot rods etc..... heres a couple pics of my valve covers for my 85 mustang all polished up, detail painted the "powered by ford" and clear coated all in my barraks room while I was in the military lol I was extremely disappointed when I got my motor back from the machine shop and they had painted it black instead of the factory ford gray so eventually I repainted the valve covers again in a matte black and sanded down the fins and powered down on top for the aluminum look exposed on top looking for pic.... I always thought the yellow accel wires complimented my lt blue car well??
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Not exactly the question you asked, but many of my models are in reality 'concept-sketches' for proposed or ongoing 1:1 projects. These 3, plus my avatar, are either ongoing 1:1 projects, or will be re-started within the next 12 months.

Tom Geiger Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Not on a 1:1 car, but in real life... I was thinking this same thing as I used blue painters tape to tape up a fancy two tone on my deck!
Nick Winter Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Nope, Never I still have things to do under the hood (bit of wiring, some new hardware for the engine, new suspension parts, more paint) Nick Modelling skills and 1:1 restorations/Projects go together VERY well.
