Blue Ox Model Shop's Street Machine Group Build update! AMT 62 Chevy

[@donstevenson2660]

Humidity and candies is a tough way to go. Love the shave job on the body.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

😍Looking good Matthew, nice update!!👍

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks Tim!

[@scaleffect]

Coming along nicely. It's an honor to be involved in this.

[@LeftCoastModelCarBuilds]

Nice update, build is coming along nicely

[@christesta2521]

The 62 is coming out great Matt!!! Yes lacquer paints go on thinner and will show everything. Love the color and twisted look coming off the line. Nice blue.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Nice additional prep work on the body. It looks really good without the chrome and smoothed out. The color choice is good too. This one should build up really nice and a be a good example of a street machine. Thanks for sharing.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks Michael!

[@Tcmodelworks]

Looks good, I liked the finish with the candy as it was

[@lylebriggs923]

It's starting to come together an looks good

[@LarrysModelShop]

Really nice color and the second paint job came out awesome!! Car is going to be nice.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks

[@jamiepowell3405]

Looks great brother! I would put 2 more light coats to make her pop!

[@wombat_models]

Love the idea for posing the car - might have to steal that for when I do one of my drag builds that I have in mind!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Go for it!

[@thomasmcbride582]

With candy the more coats you put on the better it looks just a tip

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@highorbit3282]

I love your work bench. looks like you actually produce things

[@johndean2110]

Paint looks good to me.👍👍

[@blueoxmodelshop3405]

I love that color!! The stance is gonna be cool!!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks

[@13Dixiefried]

If you watched Steve Magnante's KZbin channel or his 4 episode Motortread show, he shows how he built cars that looked like they were leaving hard off the line. An keep practicing with that candy paint from alclad.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mannysscalemodeling]

Awesome car for the GB Matt! Love those tires and rims! I remember building that car years ago! I never noticed that seam line by the chrome trim! Looks sweet without that trim. Love that color!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks 👍

[@davidhinkson8856]

This is going to be yet another interesting build! I like the way you challenge yourself by trying new things such as the work on the chassis with this one.

[@themediocremodeler-zm7ny]

Very cool Mathew. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see the final.

[@johnmurray9991]

I really like the body work. I think it looks great de-chromed and rounded. Also I use black primer, both flat and gloss for most of my black painting. It does lay down nice!

[@kirkstersstuff2006]

Color looks good

[@DreamBigBuildSmall]

Looking good 👍

[@hortonshotrodshop2003]

Very nice color Matt

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks!

The 62' is looking good Matthew! Great color! Thanks for the update 😎👍

Thanks 👍

nice looking blue. cool car

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks Mike

[@RattleCanShenanigans]

Hah! I feel your pain, Matthew! The number of times I've pulled an Icarus and flown a bit too close to the sun when trying to perfect the good are enough that I should certainly know better by now. I just chalk it up to learning. I either succeed or I learn how to succeed for next time!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Exactly!

[@ianwhite4914]

Great job Mtt

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks Ian!

[@thebeardedguyjefflawless5887]

That's gonna be a great looking build Matthew

[@INeeDMyGarageTime]

Thats exactly what i do cut out all my parts off the tree because if you paint them on the tree after you cut them a little white will show then you have to possibly sand to smooth out a touch up. Also i learned to test fit everything first after building the 69 GTO . This car looks good nice color i like the idea of the wheel stand

[@GnarfletheGarthok309]

Awesome Matthew! That "Hard Launch" look is exactly what I'm doing on a AMT '57 Chevy kit. So cool that I'm not alone in doing this, lol. Cant wait to see the finished car. I do have a driver to put in mine tho... havent thought about blacking the windows.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Cool!

[@modelcar1589]

Looking good 👍🏿

Thanks Leon!

[@charlesbecker9617]

The shave work looks good. And the cheater slicks are a good choice.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks

@@modelcarvideos5829 Lots of Hotrodders use them on streetrods, to comply with tread requirements. My '41 sedan will be a mild custom rod. With an 8 BA engine. Bored .030 over, for a 243 cid engine. The steering wheel is out of a '48 Ford. I repaired it myself the guages are custom relettered. And the plastic knobs on the dash will be replaced with brass drawer pulls. The visors are hobby grade thin plywood. I have other ideas to work on. With this project. The frame currently sits on 5.60x 15 front tires. And 700x16 rears.

Enjoy the video, you get no where if you do not try something is what I find out and I made my share of mess up. Thanks for sharing. Donnie

Very true! Thanks Donnie

Beautiful shade of blur

[@johngligo4049]

Excellent color on your Bel Air Matt! Love that blue! That chassis looks great! I like the twisted look! I am the same, I just post progress videos and pictures of my builds.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree, great looking blue John!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks John

[@goforitpainting]

Looks cool 👍

[@robertmann7277]

Maybe you could put a cotton ball behind the wheel to simulate a launch ( or would that look too cheesy ? )

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks Daniel!

[@zoopsmodelgarage]

my brother had one of these when we were young and there is a body line just above the chome like what you are doing with it love your build

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

Matt Metallics & Candies will Show Even the Slightest Flaw So Bodywork must be Perfect Best Always use Primer Coat to Check and Correct Body Work before Doing Color Coats

[@ronstewart9792]

Body looks awesome Matt. I love the idea of the wheelie stance. Ron

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks Ron!

The candy and pearl painting is not easy good to see you branching out… child on 👍

Matthew this is going to sound weird but Ive never sanded or primed any of my models before I paint them

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Really?

[@themediocremodeler-zm7ny]

When using the Alclad, can you touch it or do you have to clear it?

[@stephengrenot7039]

How does one join the group build.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Go check out Blue Ox Model Shop

[@highorbit3282]

maybe you should've laid a few more coates and it might have evened out. Especially after clear. You may have given up too soon. funny how a color looks great on one car and not so much on another. the second color looks good on an audi or a bmw but I preferred the alclad blue on this particular car

[@productboy3187]

A wheel stand with no one in it will make it look like a Lowrider.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻

[@dalekloka7069]

Hi, if you get the answer to the candy, please share it with us.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Will do

[@highorbit3282]

I THINK THAT PAINT IS JUST TOO THIN FOR BODIES. SO IS THE AKmetals, that come in similar colors, paints which worked by accident for me once. I don't mean THIN like consistency, I mean thin when it hits the surface. Any tool or sanding marks will show with AK and all clad

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

thinkin one of those busty blonde figurines like grandpas model shop uses 🤣maybe you can drive my car and mayby ill love you beep beep yeah🤪cooter d
