Teds Project Ke70 ~ The Blue Car

[Teddy]

Update time ! (pics to come later tonight, thanks Justin)

 

Okie dokie, time for a milestone update.

 

Yesterday, the upholstery (from 1982 CS Ke70) of 2X front seats and rear seats + Roof lining were sent to Mr. upholstery on the other side of town. Will be finished in a month or 2.. Soooooooo can't wait :lock:

 

fuel lines finished being sanded & painted; too bad we ran out of paint in the end.. next week :2thumbs:

 

So, this week officially starts the end and the start of the dismantling of the white car :lock: :lock:. most of the interior will be taken out, modified and put into the blue car, returning the white car, eventually, back to stock.

 

:D :n: ;)

I'd hate to see the paint bill for this, but damn it's going to look good. What colour carpets are you going with, or haven't you decided yet?

[Teddy]

Hahahah :n:

 

Carpet has already been purchased, altho its currently in the white car, i may / may not use it. Hell, its been looked after and would be as new, but the bother of striping the white car, again, to get just the carpet out..

 

Its Black plush pile. Its nnnice :2thumbs:

why haven't i seen this before.... i love it. i'm only half way through the pages and i love it. i can't wait to see the end result

i love the amount of detail you go into, this car will look great from every angle. I'd nearly be afraid to drive it, with the amount of work that has gone into it....

 

great work keep it up

Today was a bit of a slack day, More time was spent admiring K motors with Twin Dellortos.. Got some more paint today to finish off painting the fuel lines when we found the motivation. Also the mounts have been cleaned up a bit ready to be painted too.. Also the picture of the anatomy of a set of KE70 twinlights.. Oh, And we got a shot of half the fleet together :)

Are you just going to use chrome spray paint, or are you going to get the bits professionally chromed?

[Medicine_Man]

Just spray them..

[demuire]

All my experiences with chrome paint have been highly disappointing, and I'm inclined to believe that chrome paint does not work.

 

I've tried several different brands, and at best I've gotten something looking vaguely chrome'ish for about 2 days. And then it becomes more of a matte silver. And then I thought maybe I'll clear coat it. That didn't work either, the moment the clear coat went on it became matte silver.

 

Oh well. Hopefully it works out for you. Personally I'd either do them in a different color, or get it properly chromed.

[Medicine_Man]

Yeah, It does tend to do that, But its still going to look 10 times better than the rusted piece of metal it currently is..

do them in the engine enamal silver, i just wanted a matte silver but insted it went to a really tacky chrome colour after it dries.
