I was trying to get my Dodge Dakota Street Rod finished for March Madness. The .007 Carbon Fiber/Foam Composite Chassis is done but needs some new wheels from DD4H and the .010 Lexan body still need painting
Street Rod Chassis

- Start date
Very carefully with lots of planning & patience. I used a old 4 oz. tungsten round and some 1/4 cubes for weight. If I did it over I would have used epoxy resin rather than polyester resin for the composite laminate to save some weight. I am going to paint the body with the paint scheme and number I used on my first sprint car.
Chief, you would laugh when you saw my 45 year old Paasche airbrush. Still cuts a clean line. Traded a paint job on a Vincent "Black Shadow" for the Paasche. Not a bad name think I will call my next Unlimited that.
[font="times new roman, times, serif"]My hats off to you my friend...Me and an air brush just Do not get along...if I did, I would have to get and Iwata...I can paint, I can lay out some graphiX, and I can lay down clear like no other but air brush...get me a hammer...I dont have the patience for it haha[/font]
The next new HLVP paint gun I want is a minature Iwata LPH50 with a 0.6 nozzle, puts down a 1/8 to 4" pattern. Perfect for Pinewood Derby Cars. Price is steep almost $300.00
Great looking build!! These things can be so frustrating!! It looks like you have some serious time into it.
The Street Rod build. The others aren't that easy either but the street rods are particularly hard.
