61 Imp amost box stock

Thanks, that seems like great advise. I may be trying it really soon.

ok bit of work got in the way a but i am back at the bench again

also i guess i should introduce you to the newest member of the house....



Sampson, he was 7 weeks at this pic, cane corso mastiff..goes with the rest of the loony bunch of fur kids we have



on now onto the building..

i wanted a bit of contrast with the gas tank so i masked that off for paint.


gonna use dark aluminum on it so its a bit different shade than the frame


quick shot through the airbrush


i also used a thin wash of black oil paint thinned with mineral spirits across the whole chassis underside to bring out detail


i am not normally a fan of decals for graphics but i found a set in a 60 imp that i think fit this build perfectly.


then followed it up with 3 coats of 2 part urethane clear


now that can sit for a few days, i will polish out anywhere that needs it and then add bare metal foil

now for the engine....


409 with some options..


i think this one will get a dual carb setup with a modified manifold and pair of holleys


off to paint


cya in a bit" />

Looking great, Wayne! Although, the highlight is Samson. (LOL)

We had a dog with that name, he was the best dog you could ever have. We haven't been able to bring ourselves to get another since.

Colors are looking great, although, if I were to use my sons Legos like you do, making a mold holder out of it, he would just kill me.

got the legos from the thrift store for about 3 bucks, no way i would pay retail for them now. kinda scary since i remember having about a 10lb box of them when i was a kid...

would be worth a fortune now lol

Sampson is a good pup so far, put on 10 lbs in the last 3 weeks and he is expected to do more than that in the next 3, gonna have to buy him a saddle by the time he is 1 lol
