Waht more do you wnat to learn :D Dude that 40 ford it awsome. It would take me atleast one year to open up the panels.

pollishing for starters ,i always seem to mess that up ,i lay my clear ,wet sand in stages,to 3000, and polish the car look more wet ,b4 i polished it ,it always seem to have a dull shine to it then a glass shine ,and afew more other things but they are small .thank you for the kind words ,

Nice builds, all of them, they really show your creativity. One problem, your camera shots. Not to be mean or anything, but you need to steady some of your shots. most of them are good but the others are :( . Just some cunstructive opinions.

Cool stuff ya got here, especially that 40 ford... The rod is cool, very agressive chop on that one. Finish it some outlandish 60's style show carpaint and it will be great. As for the pictures, I usually just set the camera on top of my roll of tape for a little height and snap away. Also see if your cam has a MACRO setting, usually looks like a flower symbol, this will let you get very close and keep focus. Thanks for sharing, Jeff
