David G. Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Nice recovery on the paint Richard! The black looks awesome, it'll almost be a shame to cover it with the salt grit. David G.
crazyrichard Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 thnx guys !! and david thats why i wil do only a minimal bit of salt weathering , i wont do any on the hood , roof and trunk , just on the lower part of the sides a bit like a mild spray from the wheels ... got the body mounted on the chassis , put the front wheels on.. rear wheels will sit more outwards i made shims and sprayed those chrome those are drying atm the weathering on the bottom , need to do some work to the middle section where the v is .. and on some earea's do a bit less white with the tudor put in the self made front window now i need to make exhausts , wanted to do that last so i could look at the ride hight and what way to lead the pipes
crazyrichard Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 bend some pipes from a corvette gasser kit , are now drying with some chrome paint on them
GoatGuy Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 You did a great job. The paint, stance, white pigment for salt, it turned out great.

Bernard Kron Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 The wheels and tires make the car, IMHO. They have guided the build since you started. Is there someone out there who can figure out their source? If not I'll have to figure how to make them...
