87' Motorcraft T-Bird Pro Stock Bob Glidden --Finished
adabiri2 replied to adabiri2's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Yes thanks for pointers. This motor was actually gonna go in a 79' Cobra mustang i built a while back but opted for the engine stand idea beside the drag car, like its getting freshened up. Really just to show off the chassis n stuff too. I was really thinkin of the motors I build in the garage when i put it together, for a street car. I get all my techniques down, I'll build a actual scale one like u guys do, lol... Plus all my family n friends would ask why the spark plug wires aren't going to the spark plugs, lmao!!! -

Yea, I know.. I didn't realize that until I super glued them in place, lol... Already drilled the holes so I glued them in place. Woulda been a lot easier!! -

Braided lines and just about everything I get comes from Pro Tech model scale. His website shows all his stuff, just gotta order through mail, via check or $ order. Which he shipped my stuff before he deposited the check. Excellent stuff. Looks very real, all of it. Buy a "pin vice", small drill for tiny applications, study your build sheet and drill some holes here and there. Use small electronics for the wires, computers n stuff. Cell phones are great. Alarm clocks, etc. http://www.protechmodelparts.com/ My first model I can't even remember. Around 5 yrs old(1984) my Grandpa and I built a Swamp Rat/Don Garlits. Directly after that, same age we built a giant See through Engine. Probably when they first came out, lol. Those are pretty cool, working/moving parts inside. I been hooked since. All through the years, here and there. Big cars got my attention when I started driving of course, but in the winter time I like to stay inside and put 1 or 2 together. Lost it for a while, just now getting back serious and reading, searching a lot on the web for helpful hints/tips. This is a good website. Tell you this. I don't know how a built a model without the super glue made by testors. Fantastic. I'll never use the other model glue again. You can do just about anything you want.

Websites-- Supplies for Hobbies?
adabiri2 replied to adabiri2's topic in Links to Aftermarket Suppliers
Found a RC car shop that I been meaning to stop at, its kinda new in town. He had some Tamiya spray cans. Found a Grey/Green, looks nice except bubbled up in a few spots. Took the primer undercoat with it when I went to scrape it off. Got most of it worked out, gonna be fine once I put some stickers over the spots, lol.. I'll post some pics once I get it done. -
Where is some good webistes for paint? Spray paints mainly. I live n a small town. Only hobby store we have is just about out of business, has mainly flowers and nic nack stuff for wreath builders, lol. They used to have a large selection of paints, etc., but last few times i went there its basically wiped out of supplies. There is a Michaels but its really limited on the supplies as well. Anyone have a brand name of paint that works good on plastic model kits? Need a charcoal grey. Got a Lincoln Mk8 pro street.
