Re: Re: Re: Blue Suede Shoe 49 LEDSLED
btw, is this supposed to be like jesse james' car on the autozone commercial?[/quote]
Not exactly , I believe his is a 54 Chevy and it has been sectioned and channeled. However I did take some inspiration from it, good eye Purple the plan is to experimentwith the paint a bit, as you can see its primed with Duplicolor. Then it will get a flat black coat, followed by Testors Dullcote ( thinned with Automotive thinner ) with some purple pearl added in, a second coat of dullcoate with a little blue kandy. I am hoping for a depp suede looking purply blue color. Tonio I love the Buick side trime but I have left the stock side trim on this one to retain a slightly stock flavor, I will put the Buick on my 49 Merc.  Thanks for the carson top pics, heck the black Ford is very cloe to mine. The only difference is that I slid mine forward so it overhangs a touch in the front and acts as a visor and lines up with the door seam also, this required filling a 3/8" gap at the rear deck

What body work/shaving have you done from the stock body (besides the Carson top project)? Is it this kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=2582 ?

SO far I have removed the door handles, the trunk hinges, smoothed the center trim on the hood , extended the rear deck a bit to allow the carson top to slide forward. The custom front valance and rear pan are in the process of being molded in. I have aslo re-shaped the tops of te rear fenders a bit.THe windshiled has received about a 6 inch scale chop.
