Looking good dv8............I used the same red oxide undercoat method on my '32 Vicky and it works well. Should be a beauty when done mate, look forward to it.

finished the interior, did try and put PE keys in the ignition but after losing 3 i tried to attach no4 to the keyring and it broke so i ditched the keys before i threw somethin else! also finished the wheels and tyres

Nice detail. Watching this one !

Looking more and more like a old rusty ute.

by spector Wed 06 Feb 2013, 11:02 pm

Great job so far, colour suits a well driven old val ute. Not enough dints in it to be anything more than a one or maybe a two owner car though! Laughing

Bloody brilliant work DV8V8, I admire guys like that have the foresight and bravery to chop up perfectly good kits and produce excellent models of vehicles the mainstream kit manufacturers ignore.
