crazyrichard Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) thnx both !! first time i did the following >> adding more detail to the undercarridge / chassis , the idea is it has to look vintage custom like its driven well .. no trailer queen .. so the overal look i want it to look clean and shiney but still maintain the vintage used feel so when the chassis is done i will paint the exhaust and lines and maybe do a mild wash , not real weathering and no rust but more a used look started on some brackets , fuelline etc hmm pretty small brackets around the fuelline haha some more brackets , not done yet where it runs through the chassis i need to make some and clean it up when these are done i will make some thinner lines for the brakes Edited February 23, 2014 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 alright in my enthousiasm i ran the exhausts ...over the gastank .. so i got some comments on that .. grrrr i was bummed ... i'm going to leave them like this .. i can bend these to go left and right pass the tank and i have the spare wheel thing .. .. if i could do it over i would cut out the spare wheel buldge and then change the gastank so i would had more clearance . but well at this point i wil leave it like this i did gave the undeside a coat of matt black to make it more like a real used car .. , did the fuellines chrome , gave everything a first wash .. the middel will also get clamps on the fuelline but i can only do that when everything is assembled due to the way the interiourtub needs to be wiggeled in when fitting everything the fuelline shot on a more normal distance , looks less thick then on the previous close ups dit the inside of the pipe black and gave the pipe and edge around the hole with some mild chrome , more like a wash .. now i want to make some clapms and brakets to make it look like the exhaust is in rubebrs instead of the clamps i put around dryfit on all wheels engine (not finished) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 thnx guys and carl i'm not sure .. black would look so good with the chrome and all ... but i'm still in doubt if i should paint it metallic green .... so for now i just worked on the rest and left the body in primer ...

tooltas Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 gloss metallic black with metallic candy green flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 ooh tod sorry but no flames would be the last thing i'd do ... some are real cool but i have never been a big flame fan ... not disliking it but ...if i have a choice no flames i recently did some on the salt racer i made , that was a build from left over parts and a rebuild of an old model and there i did flames .. liked it because it added something .. but in general naahhh here is a pic. with the interiour tub on , so the floor is closed , also painted the resonaters red ... now i need to run brake lines and make exhaust brakets so it looks suspended in rubbers .. oh and later add more fuelline clamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 painted it black decided that was the best color for the style and feel of the car .. i want to do a nother one in the future more extreme modded and do that a wild color so this is the base coat of black i will polish this then it becomes smooth as glass and then do clearcoat and polish that as well .. i think then it will get a deep shine and reflection and the body will really come to life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 got a new grille from a corvette m, the previous wheels hmm the chrome came loose and there was red under it .. lousy quality .. so i found some moondisc like hubcaps that shine like a mirror .. theyt where to flat and i found some cool shiney certers from a set of rims and put those on the moons .. and got a custom hubcap now when all the chrome is on and the clear coat i think that will really pop .. i almost would leave it semi gloss .. pretty cool like that .. but i will put on clear just because then those lines aremuch more accentuated and i think it will look even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakshow12 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Can't wait to see it. I am a rattle can guy myself and there are a few little tricks that can be done to get beautiful results. I have no worries of your abilities to make this look killer. Keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Looks good. What you're doing with adding parts from one hubcap to another one is exactly the way the guys came up with something unique on the 1:1 cars way back when. History repeating itself, in scale.
