55 Chevy

I gave this hood 4 coats of testors brown gloss again this time no dust!! next some clear top coat and right back where I started a WEEK ago to clear top coat the entire body of this four wheeled chocolate eclair lol

Here is one of the door pannels with bmf

finished up with clear coats some drying time and then BMF

working on the wheels

This is a good looking build. Good job on the hood and the inside panel is top notch

placed interior on chassis squared up wheels but didnt like the two peice dash.

Ah ;

 Sadly , for some reason they chose to go that way . It's not easy making it really nice on the edge . What I've done when I had a dash like that ( think REVELL'S Multi-Piece bodies ) is sandwich a piece of .010 plastic strip in there . Then sand it smooth , paint , detail and install .  T.B.

thankyou after a hiatus from all building. I started with BMF this is what I have so far 

The paint work on this car is magnificent and the interior looks great Nick! That BMF really brings an already good paint job to life.

Thank you  Joe still have some more to do lol

Great work, Crown!  Love the color choice.

Thanks  My kid was eating a  chocolate eclair lol I thought ok way not

I am enjoying this build and the classic colors you have chosen.  

Im done with foiling.

Good Lord that thing looks beautiful!!!!

Thank you . it takes me a while foiling 

Um:

   You think that was a long time ? Try foiling a whole H.O. scale Railway Passenger car . It only took a whole day and a half .  T.B.

I can foil about 10 min in the am lol then my hands  shake 

My hands don't shake .............but I get tired of it pretty quick.

or just too much cafe bustelo

Oh ?

 Well let me share this . After a whole day and a half the foil seems unending . Thing is I get to where I see the stuff out of the corner of my eye when I am doing something else . I think if you foil to much at one time the stuff stalks you !LOL.LOL.

 Never had this problem when I did autos ! T.B.

Question ?

   When did they make the chrome trim on the quarter panels seperate ? I somehow missed that !  T.B.

Foiling is tedious and nerve wracking but done well it's the finishing touch and your is well done!

T.B. I was suprised also with the 55 but the 56 57 dont now the 58 has a lot of body chrome that comes separate. Thankyou Kenjitak BMF is tedious but works and yes mustang one cup is enough for me now but nooooo more expresso. Ok the glass in place and interior 

chassis is in place lets see how it sits

Looks great from all the angles I'm lookin' at it. This is going to be a great finish I can tell.

Thank you  progress has been slow
