Re: Kyle Petty, Blues Brothers Pontiac

got one header painted.

I paint it polished aluminum then use artist oils for the heat staining.

Re: Kyle Petty, Blues Brothers Pontiac

time for some body work.

I thinned out all the edges of the body even in the engine compartment.
still a lot of sanding to do but its getting there and I think I will leave the molded in fuel filler just because the way the decal is cut out to fit around it.

also I had a Photo-etch grill set so I plan to use on this car.
