mustang1989 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I use the Molotow pens, love em but be patient and let them dry for a day or 2 Thanks Shawn. I'll be airbrushing it on . I bought the Molotow Chrome refill bottle and clearing it with Spaz Stix Ultimate Clear after it cures out. Joe, Cab is really coming together well. Is that a stock steering wheel? Gaz Thanks Gaz! No sir. This is the stock steering wheel: Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 You know there's really not just a whole lot more left to this kit now but the body, glass and chrome trim. I assembled and installed the front wheels and tires this morning. I had to enlarge the inside diameter of both tires to accept the wheels but other than that and having to sand another set of wheels down to rob the center caps to use on these it wasn't all that bad of a construction for them.I primed the cab, hood and separate roof panel this morning. Here's about where the stance is gonna be. Nice and low..............I also fabricated an A/C line with a blue A/N fitting this morning to install on the A/C dryer. I just couldn't go with that little 3mm section of line hanging out of the dryer. and now....................we're off to rear wheels and paint.................

mustang1989 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 had no idea they sold a refill bottle!! what do you thin it with? It's alcohol based so that's what I'm thinkin' would be the thinner. I had the same question before as well Shawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Nice progression, Joe! Looking forward to a flashy paint job. My and the missus watch a few car restoration shows regularly, and I've seen a lot of cars finished in satin black, or even on one show where they seal the rust and paint with a clear to leave a patina. As a muscle car lover, I have a preference for a lot of shine. Nothing looks better. Gaz mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Each to their own.. Make no mistake. I prefer and build cars with the shiny paint jobs(unless they are unfinished replicas). I have a great amount of respect for anybody that can pull that kind of work off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a great amount of respect for anybody that can pull that kind of work off. I also turn out shiny stuff (not cars), there's still an appeal in the Rat Rod style. It does seem to have got rather stereotyped lately Richard mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Real nice progress, Joe, coming along nicely now, and the black looks great. Every time I pop into one of your projects, I'm reminded of how bad I want to finish my '70 Challenger. mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am liking that shine, Joe! Thanks Gaz. Color is on all exterior parts now. Just waiting a few days for the paint to totally cure out before I start sanding some of the dust particles out and movin' on to the clearing process.
