cobraman Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 Plugging along on this wip. Just about done with the chassis and the interior. The body was cleared today and is drying in the paint booth in the garage. Ok, it's not so much a paint booth as it is a cardboard box, but it's a nice cardboard box. : )
John Teresi Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Ray……..that is very cool of you……..to build this for your friend…….looks great so far.
cobraman Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 Thank you John. He says he will display it with his car at the local car shows.
cobraman Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 Thank you Stan. Here is the body after clear coating. I have also just applied some BMF on the edge of the door to mimic the trim on his car. The paint I sprayed looks to be darker than the real car but I don't know how close his photos are printed of the real color.
Jon Geddes Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Looks good! It's work like this that makes me want to practice and improve my own skills.
Tom Geiger Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Thank you John. He says he will display it with his car at the local car shows. Make sure you warn him about displaying it in the sun... especially in your area! BTW. I thought I posted in this thread, I don't see it so who knows! I had made a mental note to place a good size order at MCW as soon as funding allowed, to get a bunch of his plain Jane cars. I especially lust after a '64 Biscayne since I bought one for an old girlfriend. I thought that would be a nice one on my shelf. Saturday I was in Maryland at the Mid-Atlantic NNL and what do you know... someone was selling a MCW '65 Biscayne kit. They also had a Modelhaus '64 Falcon kit so $50 later I owned both of them! Can't beat that!
cobraman Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 He doesn't live near me but rather outside of Chicago but the same heads up would apply and I thank you for that. It is good advise.
cobraman Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Looks good! It's work like this that makes me want to practice and improve my own skills. Thank you Jon. My skills are nothing compared to what the guys here can do. This is a great place to learn and get motivation. Even the best builders here will take the time to help and explain how they do things. I think that is one of the things I like about this place.
cobraman Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Heading into final assembly. Have the body cleared. Foil is done. The windows and interior are in. The grill and rear bumper and tail lights are in .
