Mild Kustom, Title 4 Title build

Just like it say's, Title for Title, this is a build off I'm involved in right now, winner gets to take all losers builds, no aftermarket add on's, scratch building, and kit bashing, a plus, everything, all years, makes, an models, from stock, out of the box, to mild, an wild kustomz, yes an A game build off, so I just thought I would show what I'm bringing to the table, needs to be done in 30 days.

Just a Lil fun, let it begin: losing some chrome.

Sounds like fun. You are off to a good start.

Now that I have my move done, to my new place, got some work done, time to get to biz, smoothing done for now, and a lil work on the engine:











There's Sparky Wire in here some where, and the begining of scratch built Velocity Stacks, hehehehehehehe, OH, and lets not forget the scratch built Dizzy too.

Nice progress. I can see the spark plug wires from here.

Sweet! A jumbled mess of wires. Hehe Great start on the body work. Good luck on your challenge. :)

Phew! finaly some work done, just got done doin some chroming, hope it looks good, here is a before shot, and an after....

Cool beginning! Luv the chrome look. Best o' luck. We, and I'm sure competitors, will be watching!

Lookin' good! Chrome looks spot on.

If there's "no aftermarket add on's, scratch building, and kit bashing" how can you add wires, velocity stacks and a distributor? What did you paint the chrome with?

No aftermarket, means you must scratch built it, and kit bashing is a go, but no after market, my velocity stacks, are scratch built from aluminum tubing, so are my dizzy's, my headers are aluminum wire, bent, an cut from a 39' foot roll, by me, wires like in my last post, as you can see are not aftermarket, thanx to the lil mouse, that gave'em up, thats all part of scratch building.

As far as chroming, I do one of three ways,

(1) use Kosuue-Gensan.

(2) Spaz Stix chroming set up.

(3) Dupli Color, Universal Gloss Black, Base, Dupli Color Clear Gloss, Then shoot a nice even coat of Dupli Color Universal Chrome, use the Universal stuff, not just the plain ol' chrome.....

That's a lot of wiring to get through don't get all tangled up. Nice start.

It's coming along great GK.
This kit as a very nicely detailed engine too.

Run'd outa time, oh well, B game might work, OK. just a short basic update, the frame, pretty basic actually, the kolor is Testors Gloss Purple, ummmmm, yeah right.

Looks grey to me. Looks good but grey not purple.

LOL, yea but the can say's gloss purple????? even cooked it, shook it, and it still comes out that color.

Whew! will I make it? dunno, now we're down to rolling stock, then body, ugh.

Moving right along on it.

Great work GK. The frame lools terrific.

Comin' right along! Is it a Light Iris shade of purple? Those colors don't photograph well. I can't wait to see more progress on this build. Keep it up!

Ran outa time? I'd consider that a plus, meaning you can keep your car and do it justice!
Like Skid say's, that kit's that engine is major nice. Worth more than a couple of potential glue bombs.

Looking good so far. Hope you do well. Looking forward to seeing it done.

Chassis looks awesome.

Yea I like the engine, wish it were that simple, not finish, get to keep the build, guess I could cry about it, like every one else is, but I'm not that kinda guy, I started this build, and entered the build off, finished or not, I will still submit my work to be judged, supposed to be one of the rules, if you enter, your in, if you quit in the middle, then you forefit, yes you still lose your build, and for some reason, the comp, has been dropping like flies, what started out as 6, I now think is 2-3 left, might just be 2, me and the guy who runs the forum, ahhh well...

Tick, Tock, well here is just a small look at the engine, I wanted to see it in the cradle, plug wire from a mouse, scratch built dizzy, and the boots are from I think an old DVD.
