Chopped 1934 Ford Coupe.

A mild wash would bring out the dimples. The final decision is what makes you happy. 8)

Bozo here screwed things up.

I forgot to do the roof panel in white before spraying the body colour.

No matter, mask up, white primer and white paint. WRONG. Stupid rookie error. I forgot to clear coat before applying primer/ paint and I had bleed under. Into the pond it went.

Not enough clear blue left so change of plan on the colour!

Hopefully, decals and clear coats tomorrow.

Sweet. Is that the same Red you used on the 29 Model A Pickup Truck you built?

To be honest, I like the red better. But just look at the photo on the left of my 1:1 VW, RED of course :cheers: .

That's a much more flattering color! This is gonna be sweet either way! But don't you have to respray the frame as well? Keep up the great work Al! 8)

Looks so sweet man. Keep it up!

Thanks guys.

Yes Buck, it's the same colour as I used on the 29 Pickup, only this time it's over gold instead of silver.

Jason.... the frame et al, is already done. Just didn't show it.

Got decals laid tonight. Came out not too shabby methinks considering they are parts box left overs.

Clear coats tomorrow hopefully.

Looks good Al! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see this baby all shiny! 8)

When you get clear on this thing it is going to pop. The graphics look like they were made for it.

Thanks both.

Got the clear down to-day. I need to sort out the white roof panel though. No bleed under but I got some 'raggy edge' when I peeled back the masking tape.

Very nice. Love that Candy Apple Red.

Nice and smooth! Great job Al! Paint looks killer. 8)

Al: It's looking good in spite of the goof. I think I like the candy red better anyway.

Thanks guys.

My plan for the roof rescue was to to a little raggy edge clean up, then cover it in white self adhesive paper. Well that didn't work and I wound up with an even bigger mess.



At this point I also noticed just how much whiter the roof was than the scallops!!!

Time for plan B.

I cleaned up the best I could then brushed on some gold paint over the missing bits, followed by some clear red.



Next. I sprayed some micro-pore medical tape with some satin black paint.



Followed by a rough painting of flat black.



The panel was then covered with the medical tape and the 'surround' picked out with a blunted cocktail stick.



Finaly, I trimmed away the access in the same way BMF is trimmed. The sides were a little off, so I added another strip either side. May re-do the whole roof at a later point.



The result may not be perfect but at least it's a pretty decent rescue I think.

Looks great. ;)

Looks good from here Al. I like the way the roof panel looks.

I think it looks perfect and the seams make it look professionally done! Great save Al! I knew you could do it. 8)

Nice save there Al.

Thanks guys.

Been real busy with 'life' the last few days but finaly, I have a rolling chassis. Putting on the wheels however, revealed that the chassis was twisted.



No problem though, thirty seconds in 'The Steam bath' and it's gone.

It's looking good Al, now if it just had fenders. :lol:

I thought it was poppin' a wheelie. Looks good Al.

Great save Al! 8)

Thanks guys.

I thought this was interesting for size comparison. The red on is the undersized Revell Buttera's 34 and the green on is the Monogram 34 Ford Coupe.

:lol:
