I honestly don’t know what brand they are. I think they may be real old. They look nice but don’t want to stick down. It took two sets to get it done. I’m not a real complainer but they aren’t very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job getting those things down where they look fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vietnam Vet67 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Found this in a NASCAR historical book.Car was owned by Richard Howard who was the manager of Charlotte Speedway. Junior Johnson built car. Glotzbach won pole for the May 30th race at Charlotte but crashed at half way point of the race. Glotzbach and backup driver Friday Hassler won the Bristol race in July of 1971. The Car raced at Bristol didn't have the Kmart or the Gaddy Motor sponsorship on it.

This picture and my model are from the National 500. I liked the Gaddy Motor co. Sponsor the best. Only on the car for this race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Bare Metal foil around the windows? I can't seem to get it to stick. Maybe the adhesive is no good after awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james460 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Larry, you might want to try one of the Molotow chrome pins works great and match bare metal chrome to a tee. I still use foil for almost everything my hand isn't as steady as it once was and you do need a somewhat steady hand for the pin but when used it works great.

If it’s old sometimes it doesn’t work so good either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 It is regular chrome and is probably old but it did not want to stick. I tried it on the Cutlass and gave up and went to Molotow pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some directly from bmf and it works a little better then the old stuff but i can remember a couple of years back it was a much better product, stuck like crazy, but not anymore. Its a shame because when it worked right its much better then molowtow pen. I find that the molowtow works better shot from an airbrush.I will p.m. you a picture of chrome wheels shot from airbrush using molowtow Edited April 1, 2020 by MarkJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Saw the pic-they look great. I have found that for small areas like window moldings, I can brush Molotow and it looks okay. The pens are sometimes hard to control. Molotow does NOT brush well on bigger things like bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catpack68 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Very nice work!? I like the way you adapted the AMT T-Bird front clip and rear trailing arms/rear end to the AMT M/C kit chassis.I have a couple of Monte Carlos and Chevelles I want to do that on.
