tbill Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Dan, looks great, good idea with the upper platform for viewing. I have to figure a guy with your talent can make a few lawn chairs, that should be easy after all the other stuff I have seen of yours.
Mopar - D Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks Tom More progress today finished up the interior, added some BMF on the window frame, installed the exhaust and was able to get the back section painted with primer. I've got the plum crazy purple decanted and airing out. I plan to get the air brush out tomorrow and get some color. I've got the stacks pinned and are free standing just have a little tape to keep them lined up.
mustang1989 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Looks like you've got another fantastic build in the makin's Dan! That's a lot of work you've got going with narrowing down everything to fit this narrow body. Good work buddy!
Mopar - D Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Was able to get the air brush out today with the plum crazy purple.
Petetrucker07 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Man, once you get clear on that, it'll be poppin. Very nice spray job.
Mopar - D Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks Clayton I've got some yellow and red left to spray on it before the clear goes on. By the way congraduration on your Peterbuilt in the 2015 Model Car contest issue.
Petetrucker07 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 WHAT! I had no idea I had anything that would make it.I'm gonna have to pick that issue up, quickly.
slusher Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Purple looks awesome Dan, looking forward to the yellow and red...
tbill Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 that's an acre of purple! as Clayton said, this thing is gonna pop when cleared! looking good Dan.
Mopar - D Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks Carl and Tom. I have some on the hood as it was knocked over when I was spraying so I will have to sand it down and respray it.
Tesla Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 The color looks great! The clear will really bring it out...nice work!
mustang1989 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 That is a nice color Dan and it went on nicely!!! I can't wait to see this beast with all the chrome trim on!!
Mopar - D Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks Dennis Joe thanks I've got some work to do on the hood because it fell over on to my paint table when I was spraying and it's messed up. Yea the chrome really brings out the purple
landman Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Dan, would you be offended if I did the "observation deck" treatment to mine as well instead of the tire rack?
Mopar - D Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Not at all Pat go for it. By going with the observation deck it fixes the storage compartment door that cuts into the tire rack on the kit.
Mopar - D Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 My progress dose not show how much time I worked today as I wet sanded every thing and re sprayed everything. I think I have my front bumper now I cut a section out of the middle of the Ford bumper. I'm open for comments on the bumper. I'm waiting for some parts to finish painting the red and yellow. Here's todays paint job.
Mopar - D Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Built the ladder for the viewing deck and sprayed the base coat for the chrome spray. I'm also going to make some removable hand rails for the viewing deck.
Petetrucker07 Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 That ladder looks great. The bumper doesn't look bad. I'm going to the post office today, so you'll have a 377 bumper to mess around with.
Mopar - D Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Just a little update today painted and BMF on the rear bumper and thinking maybe adding a lower section to the front bumper.
slusher Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Purple really looks great Dan. Your getting there...
charlie8575 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 This is an impressive rig. Nice work, Dan. Charlie Larkin
mustang1989 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 You're really putting some top notch work together for this rig there Dan!!! It's all gonna look great in the end pal.
Mopar - D Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks for the comments Carl, Charlie and Joe. Well I'm on hold waiting for my flame template to arrive so I can finish the paint. It's going to be yellow in the front with a blend of red where the flames meets the purple. Then a few coats of clear.
