dang!!! sorry again!!!

oops, sorry!!

i am afraid i know the answer, but i was taught that it never hurts to ask, so is they any possibility to join this build???

awesome!!! very realistic!! how did you get the tires to look weighted?? are they aftermarket pieces or did you sand them flat???

Hello all.. most of you may not know me, but i have posted a build or two here!! i work in a body shop and have for years, and i agree with mr. Obessive on the primer issue!! now, i have seen alot of really nice paint jobs come from using no primer/base, but it seems that in more cases then not, when you use a primer you dont have as many problems in the end!! i have only been building for 2 1/2 years but i havent had one problem when i prime and let it dry for a day or 2!! i use plasti-kote sandable primer spray can T-235 from walmart!!! 4.95 a can and it is a big can, i can get alot of models with one can!!! the big thing here is washing the bare parts good before priming as well,!! i use dawn dish washing soap or the hand soap out of the dispenser here at the shop then let air dry!! honestly just like on a real car the prep work is key to a good paint job, so was between sanding and repriming as well with a toothbrush to get all the little grooves and that!! i prime all of my parts first then do my painting (engine,interior, suspension) and so on!! but i also use automotive paint urethane paints base coat/clear coat system that is used on real cars, and the clears have a activator as well as a reducer in it, which will make it "HOT" so to speak, the primer also helps with the alclades and such!! my point being is that for 5.00 a can its worth the insurance of knowing that i wont have to worry about the paint doing something crazy!!! here are a few of my paint jobs!!

what type of adhesive is it you are using?? it looks good!! and alot cheaper then sending stuff to get plated or evan using BMF!!

thanks lonewolf!! i have got 3 more of these kits since i finished this!!! how does a prostreet sound!!!

sorry guys been awhile since i posted!!! but i got the Starliner finished let me know what you all think!!!

you know i like it david!!! keep us posted!!

looks good as usual dr!!!

very nice build!! what did ya do for engine and suspension??? this car is just about complete i got the rear brake lines and rotor and calipers installed and i am workin on the induction system and front brake lines!!

awesome stance and the wheels look right at home!! i didnt evan look at this kit before, i might have to pick one up now!!!

the interior is complete minus the steering wheel and some misc. stuff to lay on teh seats!!!

got the engine done and now workin on the custom intake!! also got some color on the interior and the floor flocked!! and right now i am in the middle of makin the seat belts and photo etch buckels!!

Thanks B!!!!

another quick update got he wiring done on the left sid eof the engine and am starting on the right side as well as detailing the fuel pump and filter, adding fuel line and the oilfilter!!

you know i like your work doc!!!

very, very impressive build!!! i really like it and it all flows very well together!! i do agree with the above on the size of the mirrors, but still an awesome build!!

Thanks everyone for the comments, and motivation!!! the paint is dupont chroma premier base coat, with chroma premier clear!! i am wiring the engine right now, and for the first time using photo etch wire looms!!! its tidius work but well worth it!! the wheels i actually shaved off the stock mounting shaft that is typical for pegasaus wheels, then i glued the kit attaching hub in place so it can mount in the kit axel and hubs!!
