2003 First Editions
VAIRY 8!!!!
This is a 1/64 scale casting.
I want to say also that the pics are pretty good, but, No
Kidding!! I can't
stress this enough, they do not do this paint justice!!
The
casting was stripped, sanded and polished slightly before any body
mods or paint was done.
This is a very COOL Casting in the image of a Mid Sixties Chevy Corvair!!!!!!
For those of you that are not familiar with this model of car, it
was a Mid Mounted engine model!! HWs held this format, but, did put
a very beefy and injected V8 engine in this casting!!!
No major body mods, but, getting these Pro Street "Meats-n-Skinnies"
Racing Champion Wheels and rubber tires installed was a bit of a chore
for this one!!! Some grinding to the inner fenders, precision mods
to the interior and base to allow them to roll freely and lowering
the centers a little!! They are leveled so that they ALL touch the
surface at the same time!!!!! There is no side
to side rock and not only do they good, but, ROLL GREAT too!!! The
ride height is much lower than stock version now and the front air
scoop just barely clears the surface!!!
The paint is ALL AIRBRUSHED (as with all my kustoms) PPG
and House Of Color AUTOMOTIVE paint, PLUS Alclad CHROME Lacquer.
It started with a Urethane Black base color, then Alclad Chrome was
applied fully!!!! Then, the Candy CHERRY RED was done shot on in 6 coats!!
This paint combination looks incredibly like true SpectraFlame!!!!!!!
I just couldn't leave it at that though.....I added a set of ChromaLusion
Gold to Magenta Color Changin' FLAMES!!! These flames are SO GHOSTY!!!!
Look at the pics closely and compare them all because there are some
that show the flames and some that they are gone!!!
Finally, Clear was shot on in three coats making the finish WAY SMOOTH!!!!
This is SO INCREDIBLY KOOL that words fail to describe what your eyes
actually see in person!!!
NO KIDDING...... The SpectraFlame RED is VERY DEEP and "glowing"
and the ChromaLusion Flames WILL Absolutely "MELT" into the
Candy color!!!!!!!!!
The interior was coated with Plastic Adhesion Promoter, primed in
Black Urethane, then shot with Alclad chrome and detailed!!! I also
detailed the taillights in Alclad chrome then gave them a touch of
Candy Red, plus, the headlights, door handles, front grill emblem,
and ALL window trim was done with Alclad Chrome as well!!!!!!
