Popular Post munzieb Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 The 1948 Ford Woodie is a true American classic. You can almost hear the refrain of a favorite Beach Boy tune, imagine the surfboards and smell the ocean breezes. Most were made from maple with a few beech models but almost all were prone to rot. Back in the 50’s and 60’s they were cheap but restored models now can run over 80K. It was a fun project of 1/8 BBPW on a ¼” backer. I used my paint, fill in technique on the grill and wheel wells bridges to give it visual continuity. Time to Hang 10!

Rockytime Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I do remember those. I was 10 years old then. Beautiful car and beautiful cutting and framing! What do you mean, "I used my paint fill?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean, "I used my paint fill?" Rocky, there are times when you have to include bridges to connect pieces that are necessary but distract from the whole piece. Some examples are fine grills or tires and wheel wells. I will paint in those bridges with the matching colors of the backer material. If you look closely at the grill, you may see the inside edge of the bridges on the left side of the grill.. If I hadn't been so quick to glue down the pattern, I would have painted those edges too but things would get too sloppy once it's glued down. I'll use a razor blade to scrape away any excess paint or sharpen any edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusGustin Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Beautiful. Growing up in San Diego - you HAD to have one of these. I didn't. But I had friends that did. I see what you mean my fill paint. Interesting. I'll have to remember that. Would never have noticed it unless you told Rocky about it. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
