This could be the best job I've ever done. It's your standard Carrera Porsche GT3 stripped and painted. I added axle bearings to the front, a rear axle kit and scaleauto rims and inserts. I took these picture a bit too soon. The rear wing wasn't finished. I built this to race. I'm not sure I can actually do it. :naughty: I'm sure I will. :doh:

Very,very nice! I also want one ...

Oh well, lets see what I have lying around in my spares/scrapyard box ...

Man that thing looks wet how did you get that shine? great job
as for racing it, I would but I am hell on paint, and landscape,and guardrails and other cars :lol:

Wow, that is some of the best work I have seen.

Great finish!

Nice job!!!!!

You might have to wrap in bubble wrap to race it...

Sweet work Bruce, the wheels look fantastic

What size Scaleauto wheels did you use?

David

Thanks for the nice comments. I use Testers WET, I think is the name. We sell it at the shop. I'll look up the name in the morning. Believe it or not, it's only 2 coats to get it that shiny. I have the Brumos car on the bench now. I've been putting it off because I'm afraid of the hood decal. Oh well, here goes nothin'.

Bruce

Oh yeah that looks great! Those wheels make the car, great job. :clap:

Who's decals are you using? I really like to use the Testors Clear coat but last time I used it with Pattos it blistered the decals. Looks really good. Can't wait to see the Brumos. I've got a Carrera 1/24 I've been working on this weekend and hope to have it done later this week.

The wheels are Scaleauto SC4042 front and SC4043. http://www.132slotcar.us/store/index.ph ... 19&&page=3 We have the wheels in stock $6.99pr The tires are from Rubirosa. I'm hoping to have a few sets in a couple weeks???

The paint is Tamiya primer(Testers works fine too. I just didn't have any at home), in stock The orange is Testors Hemi Orange 28107, in stock. The clear is Testors 1834 Wet Look Clear, in stock.

CHRIS,

I used Tamiya clear X-22. I used a brush to paint on a thin layer of sealant and then sprayed the car once dry. I'm going to use 2 coats on the Brumos. If you look closely you can see that I had a couple wrinkle too. If I don't use the clear sealer, the decals are junk.

Here is the finished product
