Hey LIL! I'd been away for a while selling some of my kits. Decided to get back in the bench and build something. So here are a couple I've built and some WIPs

Waiting for some parts on the 64 to dry so moved on to start this custom 49 ford. Some body work and mocks only so far. Extended the front end, added skirts, and working on custom taillights.

That 49 ford is history! Dropped it and stepped on it as the stool I was sitting on also broke. :facepalm:

So cleaned up the bench and started a new build. Paint is close to complete. 50 Olds Custom.

Using Alclad candy paints for this one. Patterned/laced top.

Put the Olds away for a bit. Won't be able to get to it until after the builds for our forum's contests. Here are two more I did finish though.

A 1940 Ford Coupe

Here we are again. Another contest over at our forum so another build. The contest is Best of the Decade: The 60s. You guys should check it out. Anyways, the 60s cars are so stylish man. Went from a 62 Chrysler 300 to a slammed 64 pickup, and finally settled on this 62 Pontiac Catalina "Agent Orange". Of course I'm slamming this one so the first thing I had to do was work on the chassis. Some before and after pics.









Will be shades of orange. Alclad candy orange over a silver base. Thinking of adding some white patterns but won't know until interior starts to come together. Coats of clear drying right now.



The engine is also very close to being all done.



More to come...

Thanks for the compliments? So here's more on the Catalina. The undies are pretty much done. The body is in the paint booth with its fifth layer of clear and then on to foiling. Thanks for watching.

And while the Catalina dries, here is my next project. It's a 1951 Chevy Sedan Delivery. I want to make it a business vehicle, just don't know what type of business yet. So far only the body has been cleaned up. There a shot of the stance I wNt also, just a little higher in the rear to make it level.
