Belugawrx Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Nice subject Colours?? What engine are you putting in it?
JoeBrown Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 i have no clue for colors its in gray primer for right now just to see something other then white. and the kit came with a 427 so probably going to stick with that. other then that and the lowered stance its a blank slate
impcon Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Those look SO good in the medium brown with a white roof and sitting at stock height - bench seat in the front, little hubcaps and that light brown/gold colour inside... kinda like this - but with a white roof..
slusher Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 That's a nice stance. I built one long ago in simple Testors orange. Wish I still had it..
JoeBrown Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 That's a nice stance. I built one long ago in simple Testors orange. Wish I still had it.. Thanks! I actually got it lower lol I'll post pics in a bit
JoeBrown Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 That's an awesome stance Joe. I like it.. thank you!
JoeBrown Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) this was my first time de-chroming parts and i think they came out pretty well. i want to really detail this car. any suggestions? washes? Edited March 8, 2015 by JoeBrown
Belugawrx Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Wow those were left in the easy off for a long time:) Good to see you back at it Joe As far as washes,.. Watered down acrylic flat black does a nice job.....depends on what you want to weather? You mean the engine or....?
Belugawrx Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 On the engine I would wash in a grungy rust red....hull red Tamiya. Or thinned med. brown testors
JoeBrown Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 yea I'm going with a rusted/ neglected look and never have done any of this lol. and that was only like 10 mins in bleach
Sledsel Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Another engine option is the Revell 66 Shelby 289 or the conv base 289. Is that an early or later release? I know the original releases there was no place to mount the front bumper.
JoeBrown Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 this is the most recent release. the "special edition"
JoeBrown Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) so this past month has been very stressful. we were forced to move and it was not enjoyable. previous house (we rented) went under foreclosure and then public auction. so here is a little update on this car. as you can see I'm using diffent intake and valve covers then the kit supplies.... i accidentally put the parts in a little thinner after chroming to get the clear cote off and the parts melted. and i was furious. if anyone has an intake alternator, carbs, and valve covers there not using let me know Edited March 31, 2015 by JoeBrown
wayne swayze Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 If you want a neglected, aged look, I'm sure there a lots of tutorials here on this site by guys that really know their stuff! I haven't seen one of these cars for quite a while, and would be cool to see one weathered. Hope things work out for you.
