Subscribed to this awesome build. Great work!

A fair bit, actually. The garage is heated. I've just not had time to compile pics and update the damned thread.

Any progress on this? I sort of doubt it because of the winter months.

It nice to see someone is going to try this with a US S50/S52 swap. I'll be waiting to see how this turns out for when I do mine here soon.

I'm 100% sure I'll need to modify the pan at this point. Shouldn't be a big deal, although not what I had fantasized about.

Looks like a Chevy Nomad.

'57, yes.

Awesome!

what gun are you using and what base?

also, where did you get the giant plastic sheet?

I'm using a devilbiss startingline gun for primer and the finishline 3 for topcoat.

Primer is PPG DPLF, then K36 for high build. Top coat is DCC Concept.

I'm not 100% certain that the stock S50 pan will work without modifications. A little modification isn't that big a deal if necessary, but it would be awfully nice if it just dropped right in.

Awesome thread.

Having recently painted a car myself, I admire anyone else who goes through it - never mind nutcases like Vlad who seem to churn out a car every 5mins.
