..nah.. It's primered, but.. I'm actually set on stand by with 5 different objects right now, just waiting for warm weather and less moisture. Forced to paint outside and have first evaporation outside to. Purple in some shade is decided on body and white with purple detailing for upholstery. This is a bit frustrating as I have even more objects in my mind clamoring to dug in to.. guess U all know that feeling!! Come sun come shine!!

WOW! That looks great Robert! Nice job on the paint detail of the piping around the perimeter of the seats; as well as the obvious "Watson" style paint work on the body! I really dig the 4x2 set-up on the sbc too!

That looks really good! Love the paint job and color combination. Works very well on a '57 Chevy. That white interior with the beautifully done red piping will look really good once everything is glued together. Nice work.

Wow another "Ed Fluck Limited. super Duper, Rare, Special Edition!" Ed gets all the luck! That looks great, is it me, my screen or did that kind of turn "Pepto-Pink" over the white? Paint does some wierd stuff sometimes, even if tested on a magic spoon, it does what it darn well pleases sometimes, at least in my case it does! At panel paint over the silver base is great, like what you're doing with the whole thing.
Ed better be glad that the Delorian from Back to the Future isn't TRAKable, otherwise I'd be tempted to build one, just so I could put a new and improved "(Ed) Fluck's Capacitor" in it, I'd probably make it run on wasted old glue bombs, bits of sprue and way too thick slush kast bodies, spitting out the coolest of the cool, rare pristine vintage styrene parts from the way-back machine, while going a bazillion miles an hour!

Thanks for all kind words!! From the coach: -The intake(base) is from an old revell '57 to be used with the injectorintake. =)

Thanks for all kind words!! From the coach: -The intake(base) is from an old revell '57 to be used with the injectorintake. =) Might be, but it's a dead ringer for the Man-a-Fre intake, good eye to catch the similarity and run with it! Can't wait to see this one finished, it's going to,be a cool one!
