You think the white taken of? I thought it went well with the white wheels and interior. I'll have to have a look at getting another and try that, but anyway here's some more I've done.
First attempt at a "barn find"
Another barn find attempt
This one I just lowered a lot and detailed.
Sorry for my spam of late lol.

You're not quite done yet. You still need to address that gap behind the back seat!

Why would you do that? You want an unfinished look?
Here's a few more I've done aswell.
Roughed up a blazer and lowered it abit as I thought it was just to high.
This firebird was lowered to fit a smaller regular wheel in the rear and sits pretty tough IMO.

I really want to do some wheel swaps. I have some good ideas but I only have a drill and I don't want to screw anything up or not complete a project.

So you'd rather stay still and do nothing?
You don't learn without making mistakes along the way. Just start something. Be in the mood for experimenting more than "making things absolutely flawless". You'll build the confidence on making good work once you've become more comfortable with doing the physical work itself.
One of my best works had its paintjob ruined at the very end:
This was 3 years ago. And just last year, I polished up on prepping for paint.
And look how smooth that paint is.

I went to Hobby Lobby last night and I seen this:
It's labeled "Dullcote". I take it this will work just fine for the interior?
Uh, dunno dude never used it, I use a cheap local brand lol. Ask if it gives you a dull finish and off you go.

The only weathering sticks i used is Light Earth and Snow(?), both of which work like oil pastel. I'm unsure if the patina is done in a similar way.
Despite the cheap trick it is considered to be, I still enjoy making dirtied cars. This project was a lot of fun.

G'day people I've been busy with a few more cars so I hope you like
This is a slammed Plymouth Superbird, this took heaps of work modification wise to the chassis to get the desired stance, the colour I sprayed it really suits it.
Another old VW wagon sprayed in metallic charcoal, love this colour, looks good on anything, slammed it and detailed.
Another integra, this time sprayed bright orange which I think works well with the black, lowered,wheel swap and detail, shaved rear wing and trunk lines cut in. love these castings.
Thanks for looking and I hoped you liked them, I'll have some more soon. Cheers!!!

Yeah that's my favourite to as it looks tough as. If you have ever seen the stock casting it sits real high, which is cool if your after the 70s muscle look but I wanted something different and the colour makes it look tough to, thanks for your 3 letter word or encouragement, I appreciate all positive comments on any work as Iam greatful it's liked by people with such skill and talent in this hobby, so thanks.
