crazyjim Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I HATE rust. Looks like you did good though.
JTalmage Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Where is this write up in which you speak of? I would like to check it out
slammedi'am Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks everyone Jesse here is a link to it http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=77246
slammedi'am Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks everyone! Got the ride height set on it
slammedi'am Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 Got everything painted too....Decals are on and the rest of weathering and assembly has started
bpletcher55 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Is this going to be box stock ex, for the wheels ,they look like the ones out of the merc kit ? If you are using them in the tires from the kit I hope you sanded them down on the out side of the back ,the white walls will spit in time if you dont ,
slammedi'am Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks everyone...Yup pretty much stock box just weathered...And you are correct on the wheels....I did sand them cause I love these tires and had em before on other stuff and had one split before...
1 bad55 stan Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Really neat work Shane.Can you tell me how you weathered the decals?
slammedi'am Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 All I did was use an exacto blade and scraped tillI got it where I wanted it...Then after it was applied,I dabbed(drybrushed) the last color which was the darkest color of em all
