rhs856 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 This is my most detailed build to date. The paint is Model Master Burgundy Red Metallic. Some highlights: - MCG photo etch set - Reverse lights added into tail lights - Detailed engine compartment: ignition wires, coil, battery terminals/wires, heater hoses, some vacuum lines, brake lines, fan belt - Detailed dash: added knobs, grab bar, vents - Headliner with light - "Wood" trim painted for center console and dash - Seat belts - Through-the-body dual exhaust - Custom license plate Thanks for looking! If you want more photos, the album is here.
John Pol Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 really nice job what color did you use for that wood grain. John
rhs856 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 really nice job what color did you use for that wood grain. John The woodgrain was Testor's Brown as a base and Testor's Rubber as the grain.
bbowser Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Great job. I like the master cylinder details, brake lines and cover bail. I'm in VT also, not many 'woodchucks' on here.
Scuderia Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 wow thats outta sight for real. i like that a lot. And i'm digging the plate too, miss the blue ones...
FASTBACK340 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Real nice build! I grew up with a guy who had a '68 Firebird convertible. We spent many a night running the wheels off that car. Gee.....was it really 35 yrs. ago? Great memories.... Thanks.
philo426 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Cool! i am building one now that i converted into a convertible!Can you post a pic of the underside?
rhs856 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 @George Thanks! I had to pay homage to my beautiful home state. Tell those pleasant peninsulas I said hi! @Bruce Good eye on the cover bail! That's when I knew things were getting crazy... Oh, and thanks for teaching me a new term - cover bail. @Jim I had a feeling I'd be hearing from you. Thanks! @Phillip Here you go:
