Mr. Can Am Garage Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Haven't felt like taking pics. of this project till now. It's pretty far along but it's finally starting to come together. I've decided not to wire the Hemi just because. Too humid to get all that fiddly with plug wires. It's built to replicate a special order '68 - Buffed silver over a silver and black interior. I just had to see if the recently arrived resin from Perry's would fit nicely and it does. A future project will be a '69 RR painted Spanish Gold to replicate a local 1:1. A mockup to see how the interior looks/fits. Wheels are painted Tamiya NATO black which is more of a very dark grey.
Stingray69 Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Yes indeed that is looking very good! Great clean work :mrgreen:
Casey429 Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Looks good. The silver/silver combo makes this baby bright. It would definitley be hard to miss with the top down.
BIGTRUCK Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Not a fan of convertibles , but that looks great , I think its the interior area that really catches my eye , cool one John
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted July 23, 2006 Author Posted July 23, 2006 Got Jackson to polish some paint today. It's starting to look pretty good IMHO.
Mj-Styro Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Very Cool JOhn!!!! Love the hemi! some where i have pics of the one i am ever so slowly gettin to! Mines got the leaning tower of power with one catch.......has a blower on it :twisted: with scratchbuilt split header into the stock daul exhaust........ See if i can find pictures of it some where...........something i am restoring that i built some 9 or 12 years ago........
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 It's almost too dang humid to work on a model so progress is slow. BMF is almost finished. The marker lamps were done with Sharpies and some Testors Clear Parts Cement over BMF. The woodgrain was done using a brown Sharpie over Tamiya Red Brown acyrlic.
MrObsessive Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I like your woodgrain John! I can never get mine to come out right when I try it.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 I like your woodgrain John! I can never get mine to come out right when I try it. Thanks Bill. That was my first try with that technique.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 24, 2006 Author Posted August 24, 2006 It's been finsihed about a week now. Pardon me for taking so long to post pics.. Been fretting over a new PC. Finally took the plunge last night and bought a Dell. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Yeah. I know about the hood. There's a few other minor details that need to be looked at before it hits the road.
