Here are some pictures of my dirt stock car in the making from the Revell 86 Monte Carlo Kit. All I use from the kit is part of the frame and body. The rims and tires I cast myself and all the roll cage is made from brass.
All hand painted.
After You have your modified built You get the real fun part of deciding how you are going to paint your car. Painting is a big part of making the modified look real. Have a idea of what you want it to look like before you start or it will end up looking fake. I get a lot of my ideas from cars at my local track.
Here are some picture’s of one of mine still in the making.
As the pictures show, you can get extremely detailed and realistic when working with brass. Finish it up with a good paint layout and you have a one of a kind with detail you cant buy!
