50 olds mild custom

like I needed another project got this out and was having a look at it and the roof fell off !!

somehow about 3mm fell off all the pillars

so then I had to line em all back up



haven't decided much about anything else yet including color though I was thinking flat black with a bright metallic roof

interesting,will be watching the out come.

They do fall off like that, I recon that Styrenus Consumptiverus (the thing under the bench) got the 3mm though.
So good so far

OK...watching this one.

Cool idea!

Neat. But please no flat black. How about a real neat stock looking colour, off white, pastel blue, coral red, something like that? with a metallic roof that pops! Just my two cents, don't really like flat black.

Nice work on this - you have done well, when the roof falls off mine it never seems to get back on again.

Thanks guys , Retro,I'm not a huge flat black fan myself but the way I envisage it, I think it'll come out pretty cool. Besides if I dont like it I can always paint over it. Ride height is set

There is an early 60s Pontiac that is running around here. Body is flat black or semi-gloss, but the top is pink/mauve pearl...very striking.

Chop looks great mate, sits well, myself, not flat black, maybe a satin colour and make the roof pop with some heavy metallic in a gloss, but, its your build mate, go for what ever takes your fancy.

Chop look's good,have a look at a pastel colour for it.

gonna do the steel wheels the same colour

ooooh nice colour, do the bottom white would real cool.

That looks killer!! Great job on the chop.

SWEEEET colour on the roof Brett, a satin gold with a that colour faded around the bottom edges would look the part i reckon. ( just my )

Dale ,I ave anutha planned using a pale satin gold with a shiny shiny colour so one day my friend, just not this week , Got the black on ( a nice satin ), you'll have to imagine the roof as its still taped up at the moment, I think once its been foiled and chrome installed it'll look chithot man


I did have a backup colour to go over the black but as it came out just as I envisaged it, it aint gonna happen.

That's very similar to the car I was describing from around hear. I like it!

thanks Tom, most of the shiny stuffs attached and I started on the interior


the mexican blanket actually has no sheen to it at all so the camera flash is lying, gloss blacked all the lug nuts tonight so will try alclading them (with a brush) tomorrow

Actually looks pretty good mate, black has some shine to it, like the mexican blanket, how did you do that?? or was it a kit part??

I'll eat my hat now. That Black actually came out real neat DSF, well done. Trick looking rig.

Wow...........i like the color combination. Awesome........

thanks guys, Dale the blanket is just printed on plain white paper

I like it Dave, the satin black looks good, doing that on my '40 coupe. What black paint you using?
Nice work on the wheels and engine too

Very very cool build! Love the mexican blanket interior! top stuff
Adam

That's one cool engine for it.
