  1. Thanks Carl, Tom, Jim and Bill. Thought after looking at the pics I realized that I forgot to paint the caps silver so I'll have to get on that. Not really much to update on the Dart today, I made some custom decals like on the game Dart and they turned out pretty good. After it warms up (if it does) I'll see about getting the bonder sprayed on the decal sheet and get them on the body so I can finally get it clear coated. Thanks again everyone!
  2. Thanks Glenn, Dennis, And Carl. It was a little easier then I expected, I honestly thought it would end in disaster. I'm thankful lady luck was on my side this time. With making the rims out of the way my last and greatest challenge (I think) will be making the pin stripes. I got the other three rims done over the past few days and after it warms up a little (more like if it will) then I will see about spaying them gloss black in preparation for an attempt at chroming. Also, it can't be seen well the the picture but on the 1:1 there was a black stripe that warped all the way around the car towards the bottom thus the pin striping along the bottom of the door. I got that on a little earlier in the month and forgot to put up the pics. The hood was done as well, the reason why the fronts are missing from the scoops is because I'm going to try to do them as two parts like a 1:1. I got some fitting issues with the hood now so I'll have to see about getting that fixed. Thanks for looking

  17. I don't think aero packages really do anything for the cars in terms of increased performance. At best they "might" lighten a car in some cases but for the most part I think they use them for show more that anything else.
  18. Nice build!
  19. Awesome job on a beautiful car!
  20. Thank you Mark, Antonio. Thanks for the info Dennis, I think I have the rim dilemma solved. I have been modifying the Centerlines that came from my '57 Nomad and think I've made them look fairly accurate to the 1:1 rims. I was planning to update today showing the progress of the first one. De-chromed. Some spot putty. And after more putty and a ton of sanding here's the first of four. I'm going to go over it with some 2500 grit then spray it gloss black and attempt to chrome it with Spaz Stix mirror chrome and hopefully it will look good. Thanks for looking!
  21. You do realize that that box of donuts is like active GPS for every cop in the area right? Joking aside, awesome work on the interior, very nice work on the details.
  22. Beautiful work on both.
  23. Very nice work on both!
