BUD Nastruck

Good work Shayne - keep it up.

I just took this out of the spray booth and i am pleased with the result. The 2K just loves the warm weather we have here at present. I wish i had of gotten this finish on the whole body.


Started on the engine now, not much to see at present. I have drilled out for the plumbing and have been toying with the idea of having the airfilter being removable. You cannot see the shine on the airfilter in this shot but it is very shiny, i just hope the Alclad chrome works over a clear and not solid black....

Nice job Shayne.
With the Fish Eyes you said to use clear from the bottle. Is this before it is mixed? Does it still dry?
I tried this trick the other day, but I used my remaining clear that I had mixed, but as soon as I put a drop on it crazed my basecoat in the 'eye'.

I dip into the mixed 2K and use the drop from the jar...

wow looks great, nice build style aswell

almost missed this one great work on it so far.

very detailed work

i've always loved the bud cars

keep up the awesome work

Slow going here. The body now just needs to be masked off so i can spray the spolier black.



And started working on the dash. I have added tha ccess panel for the gauges and added clips.

Nice. Is the body finished and polished, or is that later, apart from decals, do you clear over decals?

I am thinking of calling the body finished. I painted the rear spolier this afternoon and all looks good. I will decal this and then wax over the decals to give them a slight shine.

Looks sweet mate! Very nice.

Swweeeet! Where are the gauges from, they look the goods.

Chris the gauge decals are from a Slixx sheet, you can get "Goodies Sheets" from www.mikesdecals.com he has sheets for various years featuring grills, gauges etc. The 2009 sheet has the new look gauge faces which are now lite up permanently so they look bright.

Wow this is very nice, love those clips on the dash awesome

Decals are now on, i have had the issue of some silvering which was quite annoying but not much i could do. The lights are from a Slixx sheet and the rest are all from the Race Scale sheet. They went on without any issues and for old decals they were fine. I will now clean up the body and then look at a coat of wax.

Sweet work

Nice work. Do you clear over your decals or just the wax?

That's a great build dude ! Your work and attention to detail is outstanding . keep up the great work
Also , your decal application is flawless

The paint is beautiful and the dash is nice too. Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks guys. Kane i have cleared over the decals in the past, i like that they are then protected and if being handled i know everything is safe. In this case i will just wax the body to give the decals a slight shine to look like vinyl cut as they are and to just polish up the body again. I use Maguiars as i find it does not harm the decals but always best to test first.

Looking forward to seeing this one in the flesh.

IRL I guess that the vinyl stickers would have a different texture to the paint. Be very fiddley to replicate that in scale though.

Good job.

I had a few extra days off after Easter so i managed to get back into this one. Started wiring the engine and details on the seat etc. Just a small start so i hope to have more done in the next week or so.

Nice start on the detailing, going to be a neat project when finished.

Seeing it has almost been 12 months since any work was done on this one so i have pulled it out again.
Just started on the motor for now with some wiring, i shall paint the fittings then get the braided hoses in place.

some awesome detailing there mate
