i was playing with some wheel idea's , the rear tyres are big and no normal rim would fit , so i had to make a custom rim for that

after the same paint and powder as the scalops on the body i put on ford caps and washed in the letters with black . i dont like it yet i might do a two tone on the blue rim edge

hmm after posting the previous post i just hated the rims .. also the rears looked too massive

so after looking through my stash i found these noce chomes .. could fit them in the rear rim .. leaving that so the diameter was still correct , altered the width for the front and voila .. looks way better

and less ratty .. so now i can put in a shiney engine ...

well i made axles for the rear wheels , drilled open the rear axle and rim and now i can put on and remove the wheels when needed .. the position needs some tweeking (camber)

on the bottom iput some gold on the brake booster and 2 decals (acle and fluid reservoir) .. later i will add more detail on the bottom ...

i could just make some pics outside (was going dark) .. outside pics show the tones and rust way more like irl .. on the bench pics look less like irl ..

the chassis pics are quit clear but when i put it on the wheels it was going dark outside quick so they are less bright ...

thnx :)

tonight i started with giving the rims a wash with black .. more depth and less sterile

11042991_600904963375751_476786293976501
then gave the grilleshell a first coat of rust and the grill insert is a mix of dark metal coat and then polished with a black wash to imitate aluminium

and then i knew it .. the problem where the white walls .. sooo white against the rust and brown .. so i washed them with oil paint to get the tone more to the body
11024214_600905033375744_392349044395465
in the front i gave it a even wash .. so its more a tone , the rears have a effect more like filth

Really liking what you did to the bottom side. I was a big fan of the first rear rims that were deep dish because it's exactly what I want to use on my 32 ford sitting on the bench. Then you whip out the current rim setup and they end up being a perfect fit for this build, especially after you black washed them. I have a lot to learn. Can't wait to see more.
