Custom Resto 71 Dare to be Different

Discussion in 'Restorations' started by outlaw, Aug 11, 2011.

  1. I tried some whit it looked nasty so i will introduce some colour elsewhere not sure just where or what colour-
    Its times like this when people give up through frustration - I can see the finish line now - the sparky was around today he is waiting for me to finish -
     
  2. Ahh at last a shiny roof its painted what a fight - I will start on the body panels next they will be a walk in the park i hope - I will post some pics soon :p :p :p :p :p :p
     
  3. Here are a couple of snaps they are not good angles I will roll it out tomorrow and get some better ones
    This is gun finish in Celly

  4. very nice mate 8)

    looking forward to seeing the daylight pics :)
     
  5. Thanks Diddy I will give it a light polish a then mask it off -I can crack on with the body painting now should take to long I hope
     
  6. good work mate . 1st iv seen this and it kinda makes me want to bid on a massive resto project iv seen
     
  7. good luck mate :D

    like you said though, after all the work you've put into it you dont want to spoil the paint by rushing it. Think you've done a great job :D
     
  8. Top work Dale luv the colour :)
     
  9. I still think I should introduce another colour somewhere
     
  10. Good idea but what colour would go nice with the yellow
     
  11. A grey or Lime green - baby blue - pink - any of those would be good just a hint somewhere airbrushed
    Maybe on the script or on the custom swage lines -
     
  12. looking good 8)


    did I read that you don't want the seats? I do if you're selling them
    ;D

    well done Dale, that looks great so far...really looking forward to seeing the rest!!
     
  14. I would like to swap the seats if poss for some black ones or some standard ones
     
  15. I like the sound if the grey would look nice just lightly air brushed in places
     
  16. Update time folks
    The front panel /roof / a posts / b posts / seat panels are all finish painted just need a small flaten and polish - the n/side 1/4 panel and wheel arch are in colour it needs a tiny amount of work and then i can finish paint it.
    The sparky will start the dash wiring in the next day or so -
    Happy Bunny ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
