carrucha Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Nice replica of cool custom car. I saw the actual car at a Goodguys show in Pleasanton, CA a few years back. What an amazing car. The paint job came alive in the bright California sun. It was painted locally in San Jose, CA by Gambinos Customs.
JollySipper Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 Thank you guys for the nice comments! It means a lot...... What I don't understand is that shortly after the real car was completed, the owner only kept it a little while before selling it! Here is a pic of the 1:1 if you guys care to see it.... It is covered in lace pattern, which I was unsure how to replicate...
geetee66 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 That's really nice! I've just been hunting about on google for inspiration for my next build and saw the car which probably gave you this idea. I was going to try it myself...but now I'll have to re-think my plans, or risk plagiarism! I also did my first panel-job recently and I needed a few weeks' rest after that, so I get where you're coming from..! Once again, nice work!
JollySipper Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 If you wish to do this paint job, here is a link to some reference pics: http://www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/Gambino_Kustoms/vehicles/9370 and Thank You for the compliments!
JollySipper Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 Yea, the 1:1 is a nice car! He (Kirk Jones) chronicled the build on the HAMB, you may find more reference pics there!
ChrisBcritter Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Tim, do you have any front view photos? What was the problem with the fit of the front bumper?
JollySipper Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 nothing major, it just juts out a little farther than it should...... could have just been me, though....
JollySipper Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 Thanks for the kind comments, guys! I'll have a fresh build coming up shortly!
