Its cleared , just not buffed , but im kinda leaning towards the semi gloss finish on it , but might buff it yet. Brushwork is done , cant be assed spending any more time on it , apart from maybe getting it finished mechanically and interior wise for rego purposes

wasnt much talent walkin around that day , but none the less , got a few shots off... from the camera that is... heheheheh car only needs buffing , but i have some more shots of it at the show posted up now!! Lok

Motor is a 1600 , mild cam , weber and extractors , not built by me , i was concentrating more on the visuals of the car moreso than the go aspect of it, I just wanted to build something different. I do have a coupe with pretty full house motor tho , if i ever finish it

Todays effort....... Well thats it , only a small bit on the front spoiler and im done.. ready for pearl and clear , maybe tomorrow. Not quite how i wanted it , but havent mastered torn metal , so this'll have to do for now. Will get a few more pics after its painted , but probably none more after that till jamboree

Not as much as people think , i cannot fibreglass ( the stuff i can use is called Kahglass , its like a premade fibreglass bog you add hardener to ) for the life of me , and most stuff gets hammered as flat as possible and a thin layer of "nikki" is applied then sanded. Its rare i put a second layer of filler on a panel. The flares were 1 good , shaped smear , i used to have to do it 3 times , sanding inbetween layers , but been panelbeating/painting for about 16 years now

Bonnet is painted , and am making templates for brush work tonight , have to have it done tomorrow night so i can do the pearl and topcoat on the weekend. few new pics in the other section , but if you want to look at new murals , have to wait till after weekend for them Lok aka Gus the snail

Have started a bit more work on it , have a show on in a week and a half , hoping to have it "paint finished" by then bonnet is now painted and murals start tomorrow night after work Scoop is of my own design , made by my fibreglassing bloke up the road Painted black and scuffed back with 800 ready for pics to be brushed on

thanx for the comments guys.. Rims were 5" gemini ones cut and a 3mm steel plate was rolled and welded into the centre of the rim ( cant remember how wide the plate ended up being , but bought the rim to a total 10" wide ), pretty much all done by me at home ( used a roller at tafe to roll it though ). Cant put any smaller tyres on the rims , they are 10" wide , and the 215's on it were struggling to make it to the bead ( even with the tube in it ) Fronts will be stretched only to 6.25 inches , as i want to be able to turn the steering wheel around corners ( there is plans to street rego it ) The airbrush is something i have only just taken up a short while ago , have done some smaller stuff on 2 other cars , and a few donor bootlids for practice. Car is still to be finished paint wise , as i have some red pearl to apply before the clearcoat. Bonnet is getting a scoop with a hole under it , and some more airbrushing. Have basically 3 weeks to get it ready to show at a major car show over here. It wont be finished , as thew interior isnt even started , but as long as i can show it im happy!. P.S CUL8R , those badges are added to my collection , will never be sold or fitted to a car ( unless i have one to "model" with some badges fitted ) This one will be badgeless

Long time project ( well only a few months really ) getting into some mild airbrushing , thought i'd build something different... Discuss! Tuff Cunt Clicky Clicky Here

Starts life like this Playing with some home made 10" wide wheels Fitting the fibreglass flares The start of airbrushing!! What a learning curve it was!!!!!!! At a car show as "unfinished project" Passenger side Drivers side this is all i currently have pic wise , hope to have some more work done on it soon , just settling into a new job , less time to work on it!! Gus aka Lok

Lead to believe the cam i have is from kelfords , its number is KFJ A116 , and its out of a gemini , im trying to find more info about it , duration , lift etc.. anyone help on the matter??
