Looking around at this site is really cool. The builds on here are all great!!!The cars I build are mostly from about 1955-1978 those model years I think are the best. Most of the cars I build are stock or conversions to stock from something else. A few vintage 60s drag cars are cool too. I've been trying to paint the chassis on my cars like the factory did, but getting it right is tough. Any tips?? Thanks -Louie

I put primer down on the chassis then whatever the body color is i spray a mist along the edges of the frame to look like over spray. I hope that helps you. Check out more builders cars and see what they do. Remember have fun..
