    All I can say is Wow! Outstanding job! Looks so great, got any engine pics?
  7. Thanks for your reply. I'll try to contact the seller and see what happens. The sheet has dried now. The problem I see is that the area that was wet was right on the white hood decal, which I intend on using for this build. And now that it is dried, I can see a yellowish mark all around the edge of the wet area, right on the middle of the white hood decal...
  8. Hi everyone! I just got a new Fred Cady decal sheet in the mail and the envelope had one corner very wet. I opened it, the decal sheet was in between two pieces of thin cardboard, which were also wet, along with the decal sheet. I could slip the decals on it, but thought I would let it dry as it is. So my question is, if I let it dry, will those decals still be useable for future use?
  9. Awesome! Lots of work into this one. I say Bravo!

  11. I've been thinking about moving for years...
  12. I think it's too early too, but normal around here... Glad to know you guys see the same pics I do
  13. Thanks everyone! And yes, that's snow you see, we had snow on the ground sunday morning, but it's all gone now. The one on the box art is the real thing, not a model
  14. Hey everyone! I just finished this one yesterday, it's Revell's Dodge Sidewinder show truck kit, it's a nice kit BTW, but the body can be tricky to assemble. I've seen this kit often, but have seen only one, other than mine, finished. It's a box stock build, no details added or parts swapped, everything comes from the box. Color is HOK tangerine pearl basecoat and urethane clearcoat. Here's some pics;
  15. Same happened to me when my GF bought a playstation and guitar hero, builds got sidetraked for a while, but I did come back, I always come back
  16. Awesome! That blue really pops! Nice and clean build

    My dream car

    To me, a dyno sheet is not proof, like I said, different numbers can be had using different dynos. A dyno is a tuning tool, you put your engine or car on the dyno, then try different settings/parts, always on the same dyno. If someone claims big HP with dyno sheets as proof, I will believe it when I see it on the track. mph / weight is proof, that just can't lie. Another thing to consider is that a roller dyno can give erratic numbers, especially with big hp engines, because of the tires spinning on the rollers, which is why we see those dudes sitting on the trunk lid of the BMW in the video.

    My dream car

    First, nice build! I like those little cars too, even if I don't know much about them. I'll have to build one. Second, people tend to exagerate on HP numbers. I have seen some people, a '68 Camaro owner for example, who claimed he had 550hp, well turns out he saw the tail lights of my 2.2 turbo Daytona Shelby that has 235hp. Now I know my Daytona is lighter than the Camaro, but still, there's no way he had 550hp in his Camaro. Plus, most people take dyno numbers for cash. You can get different numbers from different dynos with the same car and setup. A dyno is a tool to tune an engine/car. In my book, if you want real numbers, weight your car with you in it, then go to the dragstrip, do a few runs, then use your average MPH and vehicule weight to calculate your HP, using a Moroso ruler, or horsepower calculator. This is, in my opinion, the best way to know the real HP numbers. Do not use the ET in the calculator, ET's vary too much. ET tells how good or bad your car hooks, or how good or bad a driver you are, trap speed tells the HP.

    71 challenger

    Nice Challenger! You sure it's a '71? Those rear tail lights looks like '70 ones... I'd say it's the Monogram or Revell 1/24 '70 Challenger T/A kit Oh and Sharpies are my friends too!
  20. Good to know Perry's still going, I have never ordered anything from you, yet... But I saw a few things on your website that I'm interested in. PM sent
