like the dent, thats usually wheren they were since the body was so long. try making a "keyed" look on it, really trailer parkish, maybe some paintball spots or eggs...:lol: a website that makes replicas of junkyard cars...

That's a nifty site, gave some ideas.
As for the wheels, what's more basic and old then the Chevy Rally wheels? With a litte work, they now fit the bill. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5901.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5901.jpg Also 'weathered' Both bumpers and put a dent in the front one, and dirtied up the car some. Just some absolutely ****ty pics ATM, still working on the car and don't feel like piecing it together to a mock-up shot. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5893.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5888.jpg Ignore any texture that looks off in the pics, it's just the paint to make it look dirty... Making a car look beat up is becoming more involved then making one look good... lol edit:::: Nicer pics: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5916.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5919.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5912.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5910.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5911.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5906.jpg One "new" wheel atleast :lol: |
do that last wheel in matte black, with a little bit of rust. but I do agree, one wheel needs to be different. great looking project, I like it a lot.
|
wow this is looking good i like the ideas and the progress !!
|
|
looks good so far. u gonna put them decals on it? if you are, you may wanna peel part of it off on one side or scratch it or something. maybe a faded look.
|
Nicely done. The keyed passenger side and bent front bumper corner really set it off. Oh, and the duct tape holding the trunk shut. Classic! Or is it keeping the bumper from falling off? :)
|
That looks really good and has some really cool details if you ever do another rusted style model you could look into this rust kit for models.
The whole kit is like 20 dollars but it looks pretty cool and looks great. http://www.briansmodelcars.com/tutorials/tutorial/104 |
I still say to try some kind of rust holes and Bondo on one of the rear quarter panels, above the wheel wells.

It's done! Here's 3 pics of it near-finished, gotta take it out today and take pics out side. Only difference between these and the car now is the bumper is glued on, lights (not real working, sadly couldn't easily do that right now), and some other little details. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5966.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5967.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...t/IMG_5970.jpg |
WOW that looks like... dare i say it... a piece of junk! Nice job! I like it!

1966 Buick Wildcat, "Trailer Park Special". 401ci V8 producing an underrated 340HP through a set of dual-quad carbs. Muscle. Going Fast with Class, is a Buick's motto... except this old queen.
Mod list: Extended chassis Custom Tires Camaro rims, "weathered" Moded front suspension for more lift Buick Wildcat body, rednecked to hell and back again. Details about the body: Weathered all around, including FADED paint, dirty tires, oily rims, and a car that hasn't seen a car wash since Reagen was President. Dent on the rear driver's side fender, and paint swappin' marks Bent front bumper, missing headlight with wires pokin' out Cracked windshield Keyed on the passenger side, ****ed off drunk maybe? Etched in window sill for the driver's side windows Bent Hood Duct taped deck lid, is it holding the lid down or the Bumper on? Trashbag and duct tape passenger window. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_6004.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_5993.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_5994.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_5985.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_6018.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_6009.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_6006.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_6012.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_6003.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_6001.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_6000.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...IMG_5985-1.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_5981.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...p/IMG_5949.jpg Photos were shot on my porch, next to a brick wall and flower pot. Sets up the theme well, and the flower pot sorta reminds me of the corrugated steel siding used on low-buck buildings. (trailer homes) |
Wow. Looks amazing, but the windows are too glossy to be on a peice of trailer trash. Maybe dirty them up and write "Wash me" on the rear windshield? :roll_eye:
Is there supposed to be a lack of wheel nuts? :D |
