MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. i bought a bottle of rasberry juice on the way to a job interview today. I thought the interviewer was looking at me a bit funny but i put it down to me being much older than the other applicants. I just arrived home to find my teeth are bright blue
  2. getting uglier but once the longer chassis is under it the proportions should work better. i'm taking inspiration from a green pick up i saw on bitchin rides at a car show. The floor part is just being used to keep the body square and probably wont make the final cut. The look i'm going for is long, low and phat so ill be using a monogram packard chassis. I hope it starts to look better soon. the body height has been set by the grille.
  3. You could try running the sharp edge of a blade along the panel line a couple of times before you use the scriber, but i suspect the paint will still chip. You might be better using a darker panel accent instead
  4. I recently got this grille thanks to help from jollyslipper (thanks TJ) and this is just the earliest of ideas forming. The main body and chassis is a well abused monogram 39 chevy delivery thats been chopped built more often than many ancient monuments. this has previously been the delivery, then it got cut into a 4 door sedan then i cut it into this. Its also had fadeaway fenders at one point in its life. so the plan is to swap the roof from the 40 onto the 39, and be sorta in line with the mock up. the 40 body fits no bad behind the doors but i'll have to widen the front around 5 mm but i have a second 40 body to remove the centre of the front from. I can honestly say this will have a constantly evolving plan and at the moment i'm thinking curbside but we all know how those plans go, lol
  5. cool car. it reminds me very strongly off the vauxhall vxr concept cars from the same era, but given how closely vauxhall and holden were related they probably used the same designers
  6. probably originally owned by a us service member and sold when they went back home. theres a few bases within that registration area and you often get ag on us cars
  7. i used to have one of those readers, and had few hundred worth of books on it. i lost the lot when the company went belly up. I just have a library card now
  8. evergreen trees do not capture as much carbon as the large leaf variations of other species
  9. I just use the content feature in the profile section (top right corner). If you then click on show my activity it shows everything you have posted and will tell you if theres new posts or likes. it can be filtered between your threads and posts
  10. gleened de dindow said the window cleaner with the broken jaw
  11. wipe it down before you tack it and lint wont be a problem. i use cheap kitchen towel or an old glasses cloth. you said you had 2 paint jobs in row where this happened so try a new tack rag as it will have contamination from the previous paints on it. If your spraying outside i would tend to think it could be cement dust contamination if there any construction nearby as theres al sorts of stuff that messes up paint in it. also, you if you wash it at the kitchen sink that could be the source of contamination. I tend to use the bathroom sink as it only has soap type products while the kitchen has all sorts of food oils
  12. my standard answer to those people is along the lines of "i wouldn't care who you are if your face was printed on money" but not worded in a more scottish manner that would get me a ban, lol
  13. I think i would try the camaro donor. if it uses the glass from it you might need to use the interior too so if the camaro fits i'd use it. you can always change the engine if you need a ford motor
  14. I honestly dont remember, i think i just did a google search and bought it from the first place that had both in stock. It very possibly came from out east as i went through a spell of getting stuff from indonesia and thailand last year cos the exchange rate worked in my favour
