Painted the red on sat and the black & clear on sunday. Thought my clear was a 4 to 1 mix and was all set with materials. Turns out it was 2 to 1 and I was going to run out of hardener. Called all around and finally found some at a friends place and was able to finish. Here is what I ended up with. Can't wait to color sand and start assembling.

Ill bet you can't wait to drive it. I am starting the bodywork on my 49 after finally getting the chassis done. Subs are COOL!

Can't wait to see it done. IMO only thing as cool as a burb is a canopy express. Good Luck, and keep the pictures coming. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 90 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 90 | Good lookin' burb, I realize the value of it after seein' one at the Shriner's swap meet over the weekend, totally rusty, and not all there, but still a healthy price tag on it, don't know if it sold, but it would make someone a great ride | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 122 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 122 | Now THAT is eye candy!  | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | Black fenders? And keep the Wide whites? That will be quite a classy looking burb when your done. What are the "Details"? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | Tooooo Cool!! I love them 46 burbs. Your colors look great.

The closest I can get to one of those is the Franklin Mint burb! Nice model, but ... Thanks for the pic!

Lookin' real good! I need to do that to mine but I hate to stop driving it long enough to do it.

Speaking if the wide whites, the tires are good but the walls are really grungy with maybe even some paint or primer from the po. Any tips on how to clean them up?
thanks

Get a nice soft brass brush, spray 'em brush 'em rinse 'em! Then some armor-all, maybe the not so shiney type, and you're done. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 210 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 210 | Thanks for the tire info. I'm gonna try it. Will have it buffed tonight and then can start putting it toghther. The only thing not painted is the runnung boards. YAHOO!
