  1. Past hour
  2. Good product in my opinion. Sam does some different and welcomed stuff. The decal film is a little thinner, which is what I like, but they do have a tendency to bond a little quicker. Some sheets you have to layer some different colors like the old Fred Cady style decals. You can use setting solutions with no ill effect.
  3. If only someone had done that like 2 and a half years ago...
  4. She's done ,,,"under glass" shout out to Bill Allphin, gtx6970 for sending the single 4bbl Hemi intake!
  5. Tuki's AA/SA 64 Dodge is a wrap
  6. What is the quality like of 3 Amigos Decals like? Any tips on applying them? Trevor
  7. Here ya go TJ. Took these 20 years ago.
  8. Started with the AMT ‘59 Cadillac Ambulance kit. I cut 3/4” out of the body and chassis. I cut out the rear wheel wells to give it a hot rod look. I applied styrene to the rear windows to make it a panel. Lots of putty and sanding. This kit is a curb side, no engine. I tried to paint it purple with spider webs but it was a disaster so I sanded it down and went with a single color. I decided against decals.
  9. Today
  10. In some prehistoric time periods, both atmospheric CO2 levels and heat were much higher than they are today, had nothing to do with humans burning fossil fuels (because humans didn't exist yet), and somehow the planet managed to survive.
  11. Looks good so far Gary, especially the Halibrand wheels and skinny tires! Nice to have found the substitute parts, missing special items can kill a build.
  12. Pm sent
  13. I thought I saw '428' mentioned regarding some Mecum cars I researched.....
  14. Fun to follow. I had a 2015 and 2019 Golf GTI in the real.
  15. Nice build, After the owen cleaner, Tamiya lacquer thinner take the undercoat away over nigth. I put a chromed part from Round2 directly into Tamiya's lacquer thinner and after 18 hours I just had to brush it lightly with a toothbrush and the chrome flakes flew like light snowflakes. Now I will skip the mess with my decanted oven cleaner as long as the crome part fit in the thinnerjar. I have stripped old Monogram and new Round2 overnight and even a couple of nights without problems but you should probably test with a piece of the sprue to be sure.
  16. Manual gearboxes are making a comeback, at least in sports cars. See also the YouTube movie with the interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. YouTube's translation will help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMPTxmI2_t0 I myself damaged my clutch foot so badly this winter that it is over with manual transmission, the Boxster is sold and now the desire to drive a car is actually much less.
  17. if you have an amt 36 theres another option hiding in the toyoda body but its a lot more bodywork. Its on my to do list but i dont mind sharing it cos its a long list, lol
  18. Sharp looking
  19. One sexy cat.
  20. The best part is your furry friends are having a great time and using some of their basic instincts.
