Geez Paul, that's lookin' awesome!!  Love the color.

Looks fantastic....love the color and finish.

I assume MCW paints are airbrushed.

Can you tell us if you used a polishing compound as well.

Jim,

Yes, MCW paints are airbrushed. As far as using any polishing compounds after the clear is applied, for me no. 

I probably could polish my paint jobs, but I'm happy with the way my paint jobs come out using MCW paints. So I don't see the need.

Man that looks great!

I love this kind of project.

Making things fit as you go, my kind of build.

Looks like so much fun, LOVE it!

The rear wheel backs were custom made using part of the original wheel that came with the tires. Just by luck, the '29 brake drum fits it perfectly. The body is mounted. All the suspension is installed. Exhaust finished up. Interior needs the steering column put in place with the wheel. Grill shell and headlamps. Windscreen. And of course some small details. This build went right down to the night before we were leaving for GSL. Only con on this build is I didn't give myself more time. I could have done all the details this car deserves to have. But it is what it is.

 

Thats all I got. I'll work on getting some pics up of the finished car.

Thanks for checking in and for the comments. Much appreciated.

I'm using a Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS. I'v had this for along time, but it still takes a good photo.
