MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. no im serious, reason being i just bought a fairlaine 500 model the other day and it looks alot like that body line wise, ill try to get a pic of it today and post when i get off work. maybe its the dark color thats throwin me off though too.
  2. olds? that looks like a fairlaine 500 car with shaved handles, and trim to me. just my 2 cents worth
  3. my shop is a 1:1 shop i built the car in my sig.
  4. well, used to be in muscatine, but im moving this weekend to a house in wapello with a bigger garage so now ill go from a 1 stall garage to a 4! woo hoo!
  5. thanks gary! cant wait to see yurs come out!
  6. well got some paint on it today....it really sets off the chrome i think. i just realized i didnt have any clear on the hood yet when i took this picture. this thing looks awesome in the sun! thanks for looking!
  7. well, i picked this up the other day at wal-mart, and couldnt wait to get started on it. I highly reccomend this kit, because its very very easy to put together, theres not much to it, and its a good kit to customize to the sky cause its so basic. I have yet to put some paint on it, i had a nice "Roth-style" silver flake job on it, but when i tried to put the orange candy over top of it, the paint decided to not coperate with me, so i grabbed my cleaner that i always use to strip paint off cause it doesnt screw with the plastic, but i grabbed the wrong container by mistake and grabbed laquer thinnner, so after imersing the whole body in laquer thinner, i set it outside in the sun to flash dry after the color rinsed off. didnt really do alot of damage just kinda took away some of the badges that were on the body, so ill just shave em off. The only thing i didnt really like with this kit was that the tires were plastic and on the trees. im gunna try to do some wiring on this engine today, key word is try. thanks for looking and comments are always welcome!!!
  8. heres the update on my firebird drag car, i got the majority of the chassis done and have he ride height set, and also heres a `78 T/A i built fast just to do something different for a weekend..
  9. awesome job on the wag! anyone ever seen a `39 4 door sedan model?
  10. looking shweet, the monster truck roll cages have unlimited possibilities!
  11. is this the donk kit? i should really finish mine.....one of these days!
  12. its been out for like two years and you havent tried it yet?! its good stuff
  13. orange peel in paint is when the paint is not completley level, or has a textured finish to it, basically its not smooth looking to the eye. almost every factory car paintjob has orange peel cause they never wetsand cars at the factory. they call it orange peel cause it looks almost identical to the texture on the peel of an orange. hope this helps if not i can scan some of my text from my wyotech manuals.
