I opened this thread and was like, "Man what a wicked custom!!!" Every detail is perfect and all the mods incredibly cohesive. I agree, this is a cover car if there ever was one.

Man thats cool. Diggin it!

Nice bomb! Great trailer. colors and stance.
-
Cool custom!

Funny, as I clicked on this Clutch's, "Spacegrass" came up on the Ipod rotation. Too bad it's not a 73.... Cool model, love purple Mopars!

Killa paint. Keep hittin those switches!

Cool paint. Original and old school at the same time. Congrats!

NIce paint.

Must echo everyone elses comments. Great paint. Watson customs are one of my favorite eras in kustom history. How can you go wrong with a slam, dechroming, and some truly inspired gun work? You channeled his spirit with this one for sure!

Kool cruiser.

Simply awesome. That dash and grill do it for me. Great ideas!

Sits nice, looks way cool.

Ugghhh, I made the mistake of shooting Testor's Enamel when it was muggy, man what a mess! I have no luck with those cans..The body is in the purple drink as of right now. Im taking the plunge to airbrushing, got some paints on the way and my brother-in-laws Badger 175 on a long term loan. Will document my first brush job, should be interesting or entertaining at least..

Perfect.

This thing is sick. I built this kit a while ago and was unsure of the "styleline" front end, but now I wish I used it. Looks really cool with that rake as well. Great work!

I recently bought a few obsolete kits off of E-bay for a great price, but I noticed some scratches on the glass. Nothing major, just the result of being loose in the box for many a year. One piece was a quarter window. Since it was small I used the sandpaper technique. Going from 400, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000, to 12000 grit, alternating up/down, left/right between grits I finished with Novus 2 and got great results.
My question though has to do with a windshield. It's got a faint set scratches about a quarter inch long smack dab in the middle. The rest of the glass is perfect. Do I have to sand the entire surface to get this eyesore out or will staying localized to the scratch do the trick. Are there any cheats or products that will make the process easier?
The sandpaper method worked for me, but Im concerned that doing a whole windshield that way increases my chances of really botching it up. (the glass looks scary during the 600 to 4000 sessions!) Never mind the time that must be involved.
Oh, I tried using toothpaste after a search of this site, but the offending marks in question a just a hair too deep.
Thanks in advance.

You got some clean builds. Theres no such thing as too low, this build is case in point. Nice work, but how did you do the steering wheel? Im asking...
-
Locked up lowriders aint my thing, but man this sled is killin 'em! Wanna share any secret masking techniques? That paint is off the leash to say the least.

Thanks Wilbert. The Diamond Dust is awesome and Im excited and curious how it will look though a transparent purple. Still waiting for it to fully cure.
-
Very simple and traditional. Great proof of right stance and profile. Awesome job.
-
Thanks man. Its my 5th build (not counting teenaged rush jobs). This site is really helping me up my game!
-
Man, you crank out models like it was your job or something. Its easy to find fault with your own kits.(some of mine get thrown against the wall) but thats why there's always the next one. Looks good from here.

Thats crazy.. and very creative. Gonna be a nice truck for sure.
