I know its been a while since i had a new project on the bench, but not for long. Picked up this Modelhaus 50 Cadillac custom at the Toledo NNL and then saw Chopper's built one on the table and knew i had to build it. I started by sanded and polished the primer, then i picked the color. Testors Fiery Orange base with HoK Kandy Spanish Gold. After all the colors were on.. No clear yet thats tomorrow's job. I believe this is going to be the wheels I'm going to use, but i might change my mind before the final build. Sorry about the big pics, I really hate the new edit program on Photobucket it keeps freezing up my computer when i try to resize them. Later

Thanks for the great comments guys.. ;D Got the clear put on now and the Kandy really POPS!!! It will look even better once I wet-sand and polish it. ChrisV_ most of Modelhaus's resins are that nice out of the box. Bob, I know that those wheels are b----t, but they do look damn good with 2 1/2 inches of whitewall around them.. So here's some other ideas.. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I know which one I'm thinking of using, what do you all think?? And Sombreros are out because Chopper's Cadi has them on it and i want mine to look altogether different then his, other than color, at NNL East. Thanks again guys. Mike

you are right about that, the billet wheels look good wrapped in white.....just not trad unfortunately. i personally like #3 for the wheels. i am just jealous you have this kit! i want one and will get one someday. the paint looks awesome and im sure will be slick as snot when you get it polished!
