Wes

WAIT Till you get your package from me, Me thinsk there is a suprize in the box that belongs on this Car.

Coach!


Rich,

Yeah that King car worked out good and it is now Fletchers favorite. That is untill his next favorite car. LOL

Well I felt the need to spray a little tonight so I layed down a light coat of silver followed up by Gamma Gold. Then let that dry a little bit. Then came the Flat Brown on top and the gold stayes on the sides. Went back with a light Gamma Gold Mist on the brown & sealed it all up with a coat of clear.

Now will let this X-Bird bake in the garage for a while till it is time to decal and Future seal it. H:):)TERS themed all the way.

This was very hard to photograph the way it looks in real life so, just use your imagination O.K. Maybee after all the decals and #s go on it will photograph better with an inside picture? :confused:

Bob...the paint is taking toooooooo loooooong to dry..oh dang...zilla

WAIT Till you get your package from me, Me thinsk there is a suprize in the box that belongs on this Car.

Coach!


Coach it wouldn't be HOOTERS decals would it ??!! LOL Hey Bob The car looks great man nice job. So fletchers favorite car is his favorite until his next one huh? LOL Sounds like me !

Sweeeeeeet. I actually think the gold, with a flat brown vinyl top would look awsome. PLease take a pic of it in that stage for me!

Rich,

No brain surgeon here but, how do I do this? I don't have a time traveling machine. LOL When the flat brown was sprayed with a clear coat it became a gloss and has gold metalflakes in it now also. These are all the pics I took...sorry.

Bree was messing around with the camera tonight. lol Thought you all might get a laugh from this.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabumper2.jpg

On a side note the trunk and hood are thinking about beeing painted white. That should add to the 70s style look and make the decals POP! What do you think? Should I tell the hood and trunk to go white? I mean some crazy thing could happen and mess this whole paint job up with that stunt.

Naw that wouldn't happen...Phsssssssssh White....would be layed down in flat white with a brush very quickly and kinda heavy to let things smooth out being carefull not to get white into the hood and Trunk lines. First just outline the outer edges and then plop the paint on smoothly. when the Future goes down after the decals are set it will become a gloss white.

I already have the front bumper painted white so, might as well go all out.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabumper1.jpg

Wes,

No hurry as this thing is just taking its time. Don't want any fingerprints in this one so, bake on lil slot car body. Our garage is like an oven right now. :)

Hooters decals...Oooooooooh man! I love those things...:woohoo: I am thinking some orange and white #11 decals for this thing but, will have to wait to see what coach is supprisnig me with first.

Bob...Gold with Candy Red on top next time...zilla

Zilla,
Can a turn in an official request for a pic without the decals? The gold with the brown top has just gotta look killer!

Will do Rich,

As soon as the trunk and hood get the white treatment...soon!

Bob...sure...zilla

Hey Bob, any pics yet?

Hey Bob, any pics yet?


I will post some up Saturday as the small sponsor decals still need to go down. The H:):)ters Decals, car #, trunk got painted white and parts have all been done up so, it is just pop in the window (the grill has been gooped in) and clear coat the whole thing with Future soon!

Bob...cut, soak, apply, cut, soak, apply, etc, etc, etc...zilla

Rich,

This is what I have so far...still doesn't show it very well. Going to go put the little sponsor decals on now between "TOP SECRET" Tom Stumpf build up bodies.....Not so TOP Secret now...ooops. lol

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aahoot1.jpg

Hopefully when this thing gets all buttoned up some pics. of it the way it looks in real life can be posted. This paint scheme is even hard to see the sides gold and top brown with gold flakes with the human eye. I just have to keep flipping it from top to side to see it.

honda said in chat last night that he is working on a #19 H:):)ters car also. I bet his will be more accurate than mine. Just go with the flow and enjoy looking at the Accurate decaled cars as well as the made up ones. Stock cars are Kewl anyway you do it man. That is just how I roll :roll: roll.

Hey Coach,

Those decals you sent are great! Whooooo hoooo going to use them on my next wing chop car. Thanks man you are the man...man. :thumbsup:

Bob...going to say hello to my little sponsor decal friends now...zilla

I like Hooters!!! Eating kind, looking at kind, holding kind, kissing kind!!! Looking good Bob...I can paint again without smoking...zilla!!! Hooters and Jasper, good sponsors, easy to deal with...I like that white trunk lid...RM

bob - yeah baby!!! I like it!! HOOOOOTTTEEERRSS and it would be nice to put up women in hooter outfit decals!!

Wes

Sweet ride. Reminds me of 'the gold ones' from hotwheels. Don't burn this one!

Rich,

It was fun to do up as I have not realy messed around with 70s style Nascar builds before. I did build an old Dirt Tracker #3 driven by Corky.

Man I almost forgot to mention that YES it is true that when you quite smoking food taste better. Man those wings dipped in Ranch dressing were Super Delicious. Half way through our dinner I had to stop mid wing to take Fletcher to the Mens room.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aagg12.jpg

Got some free stickers and a I LOVE H:):)TERS bumper sticker that lights up when headlights hit it at night. The kids broke the bank as they wanted I LOVE H:):)TERS keychains. Yeah I got something so, the old, It's not fair thing was tossed down & I just gave in for a good cause.

I order 50 wings every time and take the leftovers to work to share. People like me...lol

Bob...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm dang good...zilla

You know I have some home printed decals that others have given me and would have done the same thing. Thanks for posting this and when I go to use mine will just FUTURE them into place. I do use Micro Sol to bend & get good fitment of decals. You could just put a light coat of flat white down and then drop some more decals on with a Future coat and BAM! :woohoo:

Doesn't matter Mr.Goodwrench because, if you win the race some Hot gal with big H:):)TERS is gonna be standing next to you with a trophy Dude! :dude:

Drooling over your decal sheets man...Lucky! Some day I will mess around with water slide decals with our printer...some day..........................

Love that Three Stooges Beer decal on the hood (nice touch) and rear quarter panels, "THE DONUT" and the casted TYCO front end to boot. It's a winner in my book...Vroooooooooooom, vrooooooooooooooom, Screeeeeeeeeeeatch...Yeah Baby!

Bob...Punch that pedal to the floor and let the dirt fly...zilla

BTW microsol didnt like some of my home printed decals, thats why they are blurry :(

Have had that happen on mine as well. Even after i had clearcoated them. Same on the one's I picked up from Patto's. :freak: rr

I think the "blurry" is caused by how thick the clear coat is,not all of mine do that. an if any one is interested in printing their own i have alot of pics of decals ive touched up or fixxed " ones from cheerios43" i can send ya, an TY

Great theme Kevin.

Nice stance. Yer bumper castings look great too!

I still have some extra bumper cast is anyone interested, 4 of each if i remember right, PM me for my addy, all I ask is a S.A.S.E be sent an ill mail some to you

Kevin, the missing "adator" from the end of your screen name leads people to think you're Tim versus Kevin, the GoodwrenchIntimadator. Another character length related travesty.

You guys got me motivated to finish up on a 70 Cuda grill I kept putting off. This was the first JL Cuda I stuck it on. Many to follow. Maybe an AAR in the works????

Cool idea :thumbsup:

Ya might want to try picking up a '70 Roadrunner from Hot Wheels -- the grill might fit right in between the fenders. You'd have to drill apart the chassis & body and Dremel the grill off the chassis. Best of all it'll only cost about a buck to find out.

Here's a pic of one that I hacked the fenders on and mounted to a Tyco HP7 chassis:
http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/DSC02358b.jpg

In this shot, the grill is on the left side -- note how thin I was able to trim it:
http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/DSC02361b.jpg

Just my $.02 worth.


Anyone casting the Roadrunner grill for this yet? I saw the Charger grills, I can't find the HW Roadrunner to donate the parts.

-Paul

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j71/grungerockjeeper/ratcharger.jpg

I started this work in progress a while back, inspired by this very thread. It started out as a solid orange superbird now its a sorta roadrunner/sorta charger. Cant find the hotwheels RR to try that grille trick with, but I did get all creative like and hacked up a 'MB 67 cougar grille, which is mocked up by sticking it in with some handi-tak. Looks a little like a '69 charger piece but just a LITTLE different. This one's got the primered rat rod look, Im debating whether to get enough avocado or similar puke green sprayed in certain areas as the 'original' paint.

The chassis is an HP-2 with my braided pickups conversion, stock green wire mabuchi motor. Rear tires are the real soft sticky AW tires from the front/rear big wheel chassis. This thing is stupid fast--those little weak HP-2 traction mags can only hope to hang on for dear life in the curves...in other words, its FUN!

I just threw a Roadrunner bumper/grille into some mold rubber tonight. I should be able to start popping them out tomorrow night. :thumbsup:

Another great mod! :thumbsup:

I kept looking for a Roadrunner grill and stumbled into a GTX version (which was what I really wanted!). So here's a 20 year old conversion updated with a new grill. Thanks for the ideas here, didn't even think to adapt a HW bumper, DUH! Wheels are next!
