am73grand Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Looking great Ron!Are the letters on the tires decals or painted on? Thanks Guys. Stan, the lettering on the front tires is drawn on with a white gel pen. Any ink that goes outside the lines can be scrapped off with a hobby knife once the ink dries. I highlighted all the trim on this one last night. This pic shows my progress about half way through painting on the black. Trim was done with a combination of paint brushes and Sharpies. Grill, headlight buckets and tail lights will be black. Bumpers are white. Rear axle is installed for good and I got the fuel pump installed for good. Tonight I'll start the plumbing. As always thanks for looking!
tyrone Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Looking good Ron... how is that resin body??? I'm thinking about buying one and make a small tire 29 inch tire outlaw style car out of it... Is the resin pretty thick???
slusher Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 White and body color bumpers will look awesome Ron. Nice touch on the black trim..
Mister Twister Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Ron your work is real clean and I like that...Keep at it!
am73grand Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys! I appreciate all the positive feedback! Tyrone it's pretty thick in spots. Check out the below pics and you'll get and idea. The doors should be fine. I did find this resin to be rather brittle as I cracked the car in half cutting out the trunk. Easy fix though. Here it is in all its glory. I may add a few knick knacks here and there later. I am not 100% happy with the engine so the hood will stay closed on this one. It will be a shelf model.
