Painted the body with VHT high temp competition orange, cleared with testors. Not to bad the clear was way old and didnt flow well so the sides are not as smooth as should be but decals will hide those sins. Made it a mailbox scoop, i will sand and smooth it tomorrow after its nice and solid.

Love how your builds look just as good in and out of their shells!
Thats one of the things about building cars like this sometimes the inside outshines the completed build. Like X 2 you wonder what is under that rather simplistic looking body? then you cant let the underpinnings disappoint.

Your attention to detail puts these builds of yours over the top. Lookin' good @RacerX

Thankyou Mustang, i like to try and go between real and what could be, X2 is the most detailed car i have built to date, before that it would be The Salt Rat. All the cars get enough detailing to get the point across but not totally real. Most high realism builds like promods are copies of cars, and sorry but i have to say cookie cutter builds. I have been to model shows were there were 8 or 10 of the super high detail cars in the show and man the builders became very prissy and self centered come judging time. But like all good builders say i build for myself, if you like it great, if not carry on there is always lots more to see. ;)
 
A quick peek, sanded up the scoop, need to paint it give it a ci decal and glue it on. and need to root up a parachute someplace, The Bull Dog decals almost didnt make it one came off the sheet in 4 pcs took a long time and a few wet downs to get it positioned and back together.🤬

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about!
Looks great!

My dad had a bulldog 'Buddy' as a kid back in the '30s... I still have the leather and brass collar... But darned if I can find it right now!

I hope you find it Barly, one of my best dogs left to lay down before i could take her collar off. Coco was a wild girl and i guess like most country dogs she wasn't going to make us suffer through her last day.
 
And ye shall find, that is some first class work and to still be in that good shape is amazing. These are my boys now the big one is Grizzly Bear, and the little one is his father Wealand, hes not to happy about having something pointed at him. 🤣

Awesome!
Little bulldog rocks!
I guess I'm more than a little partial 😁
Im glad you are, it needed a name, it seems when its a pro class car all they get is the main sponsor badge and the car is just considered a money maker, the little guys have respect for what they built and feel the car deserves to recognized for what it is not just the sack of money behind it.
 
Kind of a tradition at our place (starting with my folks), family vehicles have been named Betty, Beefy, Bart, Bender and Buffy... The 'B' list! 😆
Thats great, my family was never a car family that way, in the 50s and early 60s guys named their hotrods in the 70s not so much. My first two were 65 impalas, bought a 66 327 that was junk had it bored .030 over new mid high compression pistons, good heads and other stuff needed to go fast, that engine went into 3 cars, the last impala a 68 camaro and 66 olds cutlas. The engine and transmission setup was at its best refinement in the cutlas, many a late 70s disco Trans Am watched the Olds tail lights get smaller if they were silly enough to try me.
