I finished up the bodywork and got some paint laid down this weekend. ModelMaster Lacquer Ultraviolet pearl, ModelMaster Lacquer clear. I can already tell this is one of those colors thats impossible to photograph well! (Why is purple such a problem?!?!) Kit pinstripe decals... Kdog Graphics pinstripe decals. This is the 3rd project I've used them on, so I guess I like 'em! Just in case you thought the paint process was easy, heres the first attempt. Alclad flipflop Green/Gold over black. The flake in this was just TOO big and quite honestly, the gold tone sucked! I really, really didn't want to get into the paint, strip, paint routine. Since it was cleared with MM, I smoothed the surface and shot the Ultraviolet right over it. Came out pretty good and I expect it will hold up well. Did a few suspension mods also... Of course, the kit suspension is a little too tall for my taste! Before cutting the pieces, I drilled them to accept a wire for alignment purposes later. After cutting, I glued in a 3/32 piece of styrene. That distance puts the diff right on the pan and is about as low as you can get! Enjoy... Comments always welcome!
