two street rods...body and chasis
terry many thanks.
ok time for a brief update.
when last we saw the twins the painting of the body and chassis had begun. with this came a major screw up and with a discovery.
i had progressed to the engine work. i went through my process again and had another screw up and yet another discovery.
i had started the process by painting the not show all rust. i then painted model masters aluminum. i went to try to use the same gloss to show some of the rust and it took all the paint off. i then backed up, reshot the rust and then the meatalizer, when that got tacky i then used a toothbrush and water and removed some of the metal paint. it came out very decent. the show i painted flat black and then gloss black. i sanded a bunch and then hit it with about twelve coats of future. still has some pitting but it is much better and i will be living with it.
the pictures
the show
the not show
and together
and a few closeups of the engines.
next up is to finish out the engine compartments and move onto the interiors.
all comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

The rusted car is looking great but I think that shine on the show car needs some work. Are you sanding the clear coats? It looks dusty.

Let that clear coat cure up Joe then give it a light and progressive sanding, starting with some course up to superfine sand paper. Then hit it with some clear again and see how it looks. Some of the car guys can give you lot better info on this than I can, I've done the high shine stuff a couple of times to various degrees of success, or total lack of it I should say.

mp it is great advice and i may do that. however i have to say the urge to build something with wings is dang awful overpowering right now. along with that is an equally large overpowering urge to do something with a huge amount of detail.
i am thinking i am a pretty sick individual in the head.

well the end is here for the twins.
just a reminder both were painted the same. the only difference is one was worked to look beat up.
the show car..
the beater..
and the twins together.
many thanks for all the kind words.
on to the next.
