CaptainAhab Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Box Stock except for the wheel covers. Sniped them out of the AMT Mercury Kit. Lowered the Suspension a little bit and Painted it Hoduras Maroon. Enjoy
geetee66 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Let me be the first to say how nice this build is. The paint is very good. You got a real nice shine on it with no 'peel! Super-clean and tastefully done. I'd gladly have this in 1:1!
Belugawrx Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Beauty paint on that!! Do you wet sand and polish? Wax,.. creme polish? Nicely done
f1ford48 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 you can almost hear that Flathead burble out the dual exhaust
PappyD340 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 OUTSATNDING, beautiful paint, I picked up a can of that paint the other day at the HS but put it back, but after seeing this I'm going back and get it I have a project coming up that it will look nice on!
charlie8575 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Color looks good on it, I might've added some kind of contrast, though, to break it up a little. Nice build quality overall. Charlie Larkin
Grumpa Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Nicely done Joe! You've captured the true essence of an ol' school hot-rod! The choice of wheels knock's it out!
CaptainAhab Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks Everybody! The kind words mean alot to me Beauty paint on that!! Do you wet sand and polish? Wax,.. creme polish? Nicely done Yes, it was wet sanded threw all the usual grades I then hit it with a cleaner wax, novus 2 and 1, and then a little meguires mist and wipe when it was all assembled to removed finger prints/ dust etc etc. Thank you Dr Cranky for the polishing tips by the way. Very pleased with the results !
