mademan Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Ive been here for a while now, and it just hit me that Ive ever posted a completed build here. Therefor I will start with my favorite, a 67 impala lowrider. It is made to look locked up in the rear, and nose down. The body was shot with House of Kolor Orion silver, then HOK hot pink kandy was sprayed. followed by 5 even coats of Dupont Premier Chroma-clear, wetsanded between each coat. Then polished out with tamiya finishing polish. wheels are pegasus 1109`s, exhaust is all hand foiled as is the tank. Frame was sprayed Orion silver, and misted with pink candy from the sides to give the present effect. also this was my first build after a 7 year Hiatus...im 21 now. enjoy:
FindMeAnGbodyCutlass Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) I like it. Looks really nice. Nice to see someone from the younger generation building models. Keep up the good work. Edited January 30, 2008 by FindMeAnGbodyCutlass
mikelo Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I like the color. Not that I am a fan of pink, but that is a nice color. Good job on the BM. I bet the exhaust took a little while to do. I can appreciate the work involved as I foiled the all the bars on my Rick Dobberton J2000.
dub Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I usually can't stand pink, but this shade really does it for me! It looks even better in the sunlight! Nice work!
mademan Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Nice job, Mike! Don't wait seven years before you build your next one! thanks for all of the comments guys, I really appretiate it. - The Main reason I got out of building, was to do with the only local contest we had(no longer due to the same issues i did not like) and the same people winning every year, without even trying, bringing the same stuff, beating full blown customs with snap tite kits. there was a special clique in the club who judged, and they were all sure to get an award. now that I am back, and thanks to Rollinoldskool, Minidreams, and a few others who have inspired me alot, I build for myself, and myself only. I could care less about the contest aspect of it.
