http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o.../writeup43.jpg it's a far cry from what you see above. i'll try to get some pics of how it looks now along with damage pics of the bumper. i just ruined my third nikkon this year so i have to re-locate the backup for the backup..... i gues i've decided that i'm going to proceed with the prgress on the rest of it and worry about the bumper when it gets here. Quote:
if i'm going to do it then i want it to look as good as possible and i consume WAAAY too much coffee on a daily basis for fine brushwork like that. i know it would look "OK" when i was done but you just dont get the crispness and detail of a decal. bonus note though, i found some pontiac photo-etc emblems.......even better!:nod: Quote:
there's something off about that color of gold. it looks more bronze to me. hopefully i'll have some more eyecandy for ya's soon;) cheers, |
your right bondo they do look bronze :/
can't wwait for the update :D |
here's the damage.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...m/S4010005.jpg here's todays forward progress. the kit that the headlights came from had lenses at one point but hell if i know where they are so with the help of my straight rule and some upgrade kit plastic,i made new ones. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...m/S4010008.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...m/S4010010.jpg aluminum tubing for the headlights(....oooh, fancy...) i'm waiting for the superglue to dry and then i can tidy it up and repaint it. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...m/S4010009.jpg BTW, here's how that RSX looks now..... http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...x/S4010006.jpg cheers, |
maybe you could order a Light kit from someone =) lol
looks great as far as the front bumper. as for the rear maybe a small trip to the garbage can will help =] |
Quote:
the rear IS going in the trash but not until the replacement is finished.;) |
Totally that would be cool let me know I have white,blue,red,yellow so any amount or variation
lol maybe you can salvage something form it. or make a chew toy for the dogs out of it. or you can put it back together badly and save it so if you ever make a trailer trash version you can use it lol. |

i got the decals on yesterday. it's a bit dirty and some spots were sanded down but it will be fixed shortly. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010005-1.jpg and today i got the PE parts painted and some of them laid in. this bird marks the return of the 421(sidebadge):headbang: :headbang: :cheers: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...m/S4010015.jpg cheers, |

when i said threesome,i meant a threesome with me her and my wife,not me her and lingvette....:lol: Quote:
i'm thinking i might actually keep this one along with the other dozen or so firebird projects coming soon. i'm not exactly sure how it happened but all of the sudden i have all these firebirds...:roll_eye: here's the resin shell that was posted on Ebay(link above) the fit is off on a couple of the parts and the hood looked a bit like swiss cheese with all of the air bubbles in the mold. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010014-1.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...x/S4010027.jpg Quote:
i'm not going to be sandblasting the firebird,that was part of a convo about the RSX pictured above. Quote:
i got a couple coats of clear on the bird simply to lock in the PE parts but this car has pretty much gone on the backburner for a bit due to a new project of secret nature...:bigwink: (well that and the fact that i'm kinda tired of people on the other forum saying crap about the rims..) http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...m/S4010004.jpg cheers for now, |
THAT LOOKS FREAKING SMOOTH
that is sure beauty I will find that girl in lings av for you if i can get that car. it looks so sick great work |
My only complaint is the fact that the bird goes off the hood... I would prefer it to stay all on the hood.
But, other than that, it's darn perfect! |
The shine on that thing is amazing... great work as always despite the dog mishap!
What was said about the rims... I quite liked them... maybe painting them gold would appease the masses :) |
