my80malibu Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I think the green portion of the decal may get lost. In the base color. But I like the car buildup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I love the attention to detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Im hoping the green in the decals is different enough from the paint color it will still stand out. If not I will have to look for another set of decals. I will just have to wing it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankerdog Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I love it. The 429 looks good in that hole. Give us more pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Been a bit but got some progress on my fairlane. Got the body in the emerald metallic basecoat, made subframe connectors, front bump stops, leaf spring shackles front and rear, had to make a drag link, added a steering box, painted all the chassis components and glued in place, started to plumb in a brake system. Will be adding BMF to the body and adding the decals before clearing the body. Last will be working on the interior, I only have the dash done. Need to make "aluminum" door panels, add in 66 mustang seats I'm going to use, and build a roll bar/ cage and paint it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKerry Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I think the green portion of the decal may get lost. In the base color. But I like the car buildup I thought the same thing....... What about doing the roof in white or silver? Just a thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsnake98 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Got the disc brakes on and the rubber hoses to the calipers installed. Weathered the tire tread and installed the wheels and tires. Had to put the chassis on the body for a mock up in color, its getting there. Also working on the engine now, will be a couple weeks until the engine is done because im waiting on some resin fittings to plumb it. Anyway heres a few pics.

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Lots to like on this one...especially all the realistic chassis mods, and the right gasser stance for a refreshing change. So many guys build gassers with the noses pointing towards the clouds, it's really good to see one set up like a real car. Nice work.

Devilsnake98 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Looks like this thread has been moved, ok. Anyway, finally got enough progress worth posting. Got the BMF on the window frames, applied one of the "passin gas" logos on the door, and needless to say, I will not be using them. They are completely transparent and do not stand out against the green paint at all. Edited December 28, 2013 by Devilsnake98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsnake98 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Finally got pics to load, anyway, the decals I wanted to use are too transparent and I dont like the look of them this way, so I wont be using them. It will be just 1 solid color. Got the foil work done on the window frames too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) also got some of the interior pieces painted and waiting for more nice weather to continue. built a roll cage and painted it. Also waiting for nice weater to bury the body in clear, then will cut and rub for an awesome shine.
