It's alive...Frankenstude

[mrindy77]

I've been busy this weekend. Polished and assembled. Jimmy Flintstone creation...Frankenstude. House of color Pavel Purple base with Kandy purple on the top. This one is going to Rand Bailey, the painter who painted the real Frankenstude. I work in his shop on Saturdays restoring my 1968 Triumph Daytona. I get the pleasure of working next to some really high end multi mega dollar cars...cobras, porsches, shelby mustangs...its awesome reference.

Outside it looks more like the real cars color purple.

Nice Car! I have one of these and can't wait to build it.

Mind if I ask a question? How do you prep the wheels? The wheels

that are in the kit are very dull and rough and I'm sure there is a way

to smooth them out and brighten them up! It's you had no problem

doing this.

Thanks and again, Great Build!

I chucked them up in the lathe and spun them while holding fine steel wool on them. It smoothed them out and put a nice polish on them. The windows are tedious, cut carefully and slowly while test fitting. The cut line on the windshields are not very defined. I purchased the paint from Black Gold. It is House of Color Pavel Purple base and candy purple over that with a clear coat. Paints are all laquers and shot through an airbrush. If you are doing a replica these are the colors you will want to use according to the painter.
