"Harbormaster, please send pilot boat for navigation assist."
Denny, that is going to be a very cool ride. I love Caddy Finmobiles! Is that the Gunze Sangyo or Revell kit?

Gunze kit on this one in 1/32.
Boyz are going for flat-dull look all the way around including those millions of square feet of chrome.
Going to spread some paint on today.
Trying to find something that will give that lake pipe effect, but have nothing in the parts bin or the neighborhood to use. Might have to be an add-on later when a set surfaces somewhere.

Boyz going with a "flat" look this time around.
Going to flat coat the chrome to bring it down a shine or two for the same effect.
Never have done one like this and this car is so big, it will stand out no matter what!!

This paint color is titiled "dull red" and I thought, hmmm sort of looks like primer.
The parachute if needed when done is coat of Future, so it would be nice and shiny!!!

If that Tamiya Dull Red, its the same I used for bricks once. Its a very rich color for something so flat.

had to head downstairs to look at the rattler can, and that is the color, very impressed with your color knowledge!!!
bricks and this old caddy seem to fit!!! Guess I have the right color..........
Inthe drying stage, will have to see what everyone thinks of a "flat" caddy. Once the future goes on , the flat is just a memory,

Primer red looks good on it. I would like to see this Cady parked next to Footscoot's little Fiat when your all done just for size comparison.

First test drive for the Caddy to the Dundee Speedway office today, high of 65 today!
Still need some tail lights and the top hasn't come back from the shop yet.
Not to mentioned the Caddy isn't licensed yet!!
Still lots of conversation, flat or shine.
