Bill's 33 coupe.

[checkmate]

I'm building this for a good mate, he wants to give it to one of his mates for a b'day gift. It's a replica of Bill's 1:1 33 coupe.

I'm starting with the reissued/relabelled ZZ Top Eliminator.

And I'm hoping to make it look like this.

After prepping and primering the body I got some colour on it today finally.

I got the chassis painted charcoal metallic and I've got the engine halves together and colour coded to the body. I have to have it finished by June for Bill's b'day, so I'll have to speed up my usual slow and casual pace.

Hi, I'm just using automotive acrylic paint in rattle cans. Primer and clear is Repco(Aussie parts store) brand and colour is Holts Duplicolour.

I haven't had the chance to polish it yet I'll let it cure for a week or so than hit it.

Still progressing on this one, got colour on the guards today, hopefully clear them tomorrow than I'll polish the whole lot at the same time.

Cheers Rob
