Passionate Poncho II

This is a great kit. To do it stock, you will need a extra set of thin tires and front wheels if you can get them, or sand down the rears to the proper thickness.

started on the engine and painted drilled holes for spark plug wiring

Perfect color. FYI, paint the transmission behind the bell housing steel.

ok I'll use metalizer since its gloss blue any way

If that blue is enamel, the Metalizer will wrinkle it. Best bet is testors steel brush paint.

I must of been lucky I've always use gloss black enamel for base coat then metalizer don't jinx me 

here is an up date on the engine all box stock except for distributer and wiring

Looks good, just one suggestion, spark plug wiring doesn't rise up from the distributor in a fountain shape, each wire flows down alongside and then usually along the valve covers to each plug. Other than that, she looks good.

Kinda looks like a dady long legs dont it 

ok hows this

body is washed and primed with mm enamel.ready for testors artic blue metalic

my 1st two mist coats of testors artic blue metalic now some drying time

The base coat done more drying time. Next the wet coats now I work on interior

Engine looks much better. Nice color on the body.

Great job on the motor! What shade of blue did you use? I'm building  1986 El Camino and I'm trying to figure out what shade of blue to paint the motor.

Thankyou midnightprowler and rocker. its the 1/4oz testors GI light blue 1108 code. 

working on dash board and steering wheel got gauges form best model car parts

Wow!

been having trouble with photobucket but here are some interior pics three tone blues 

Love the work your doing on this Crown, makes me want to build a car model from the 60's with all the cool colors and chrome that went into the interior.  I also like how you weathered the engine, it gives the right impression.  

Scott

Thank you Scott gave the body last coat of artic blue still to tacky for BMF any way working on interior and wheels

Man that looks great Crown! Holeee Schmokes!! Schuuuweeet!!

Great interior. How did you do the masking?

Beautiful interior!

started from the darker blue and worked to the center of the seat with med blue then light blue masking the painted parts as I go. I used model master flat drys faster .The light blue was testors gloss .Then I sprayed model master gloss enamel over all applied thin black wash with tamiya sealed with thin coat of flat clear to get that semi gloss look

Thank you Jim

some grill work

That interior tub and grille look great Crown! I like how cleanly you brought the details out on that grille! Wow!
