espo Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 This model is turning out so nice. Hard to believe it would look this good after seeing what you started with. I just noticed the rounded corners in the leading edge of the hood, that is a custom touch that you just don't see anymore. I think it looks perfect with the theme of your build.

John Goschke Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Finally, we have color! Next, masking for outlines and scallops! The purple will get a touch darker and deeper with clear over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Personally, I think that bright greens & purples have been extremely over done in recent years, but I like this one. It looks to be a little more on the blue side, which is refreshing. If I see another bright, "day glow" green on a classic car, I seriously think I'm going to puke!!! There were so many classy, interesting, rich, purples & greens back in the '50s & '60s, that, for the life of me, I can't imagine why anyone would use those gaudy modern colors on a beautiful car. There's no faster way to completely destroy a work of art than wrapping it in layers of putrid paint! Sorry, I had to vent a little. I like your color choice John!

I hear you on the neon greens and bright purples. Not here. My mix here is a bit more blue than what I was originally considering, and will change a bit with clear on it.

I've still got another paint step, plus clear before foil, so it'll be a while. But I'm anxious to see it done, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordRodnKustom Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Wow that looks good. I like the way you echoed the side trim there on the door panels and The T-Bird console is brilliant. Not sure about the speaker grill there on the dash but that's just me. Well done sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Goschke Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Painting process mostly finished with clear coats but no polishing yet. All preceded by the usual 12 hours of masking! Highlighting the grooves in the roof in the light purple I was using for the outlines and scallops on the body against pearl white turned out to be an ugly idea so I ultimately decided to go with the same lighter purple for the entire roof.

Mr. Metallic Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Man, that's really going to pop once you polish it. You're in the home stretch, can't wait to see it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The masking went well until I ran out of the black tape and had to order more online then wait five days for delivery. Sure looked like there was enough on the roll!

Wish I could click my heels and say "There's no model like a done one!," and poof, it'd be finished and ready for photos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
