beautiful paint job!!!!!

outstanding build..great color and i like the bed

Thank you gentlemen . i appreciate all the help and the links...to be honest i can't afford to buy pre wired distributors. i looked them up on madmodleing and they are just out of my price range. as much as i would love to use them i can't justify the price,... i googled 31 gauge wire and found radio shack carried it. i stopped in a local store this morning and asked . the clerk said they did not carry that size. i walked to the section where they keep the wire and soldering equipment and sure enough there it was. 50 ' in blue and red $5.49.. i took both ..when i went to the register and pointed out that he indeed did have it and it was in stock ..he didn't say word one just rang me up... no wonder they are going out of business. anyways didn't mean to highjack my own thread and go off on a tangent. my next build is reveal ford model T street rod. i picked up at hobby lobby with a 40% coupon..can't wait to try out the right gauge wire this time....once again thank you for all the help, it is very much appreciated

thank you very much for the info...i'm using the wrong gauge wire for sure. i tried to force it into place and it just sprang back. i am a scavenger and am always on the lookout for anything i can use in my builds. i do think i need to bite the bullet and pick up the correct size wire if i want to do this the right way. i googled 31 and 32 gauge wire and have found a couple of sources on amazon.....where do you get your wire? and where can i pick up pre wired distributor caps? i appreciate all the help... as frustrating as this hobby is sometimes , there is nothing better than sitting back and saying i built that!!! with each new build i'm trying to hone my meager skills a bit more and make each model a little nicer, sharper, more realistic than the last.

thanks ..i appreciate that.

i like the chop top..nice work

very nice work..color is great

very nice work

Richard i am so impressed with your builds thanks for the help. i'd love it if my engines looked half as good as yours. i'm so afraid of breaking the wires off i don't use much force to work them into place. i was hoping there was some trick i was missing. i'll try it on the impala and post pics if i have any success. thanks for the input nick. JC i 'm using wire but i did try to remove the copper to see if i could get a more natural drape, all it did was kink .pull it out and rewired it but it looks like an octopus or a spider sitting on top. thanks for the help gentelmen BTW what gauge wire do you use? i'm using telephone wire?

WOW!! its beautiful...well done

I just finished a 62 impala , it looks pretty good but the plug wires do not. they should drape more but i can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. what do you do to convincingly wire an engine ? here is a photo of the engine. i appreciate the help

love the color.. nice job

thanks for the kind words... Lee, how do you get the wire to drape down. i know what it should look like , but not sure how to accomplish it. i tried pulling the copper out of the wire but all it did was kink . i appreciate the help. thanks oscar, i know i need a better light source when taking photos. if it wasn't so cold outside , i would have taken it out on the deck to take a few pics .

pretty color..i like it

PHEEEEW!!!! thats outstanding

when you say quick build.. how long did it take you? .. me ..that would take a few months.. very nice work

love the color... great job

cleaned off my work space after finishing up my last build. thought i'd share it. paint rack/ tool holder is made from angle bracket bolted together. i am able to add and remove shelves as needed.

I finally finished the 62 impala , almost 2 months to complete it and i'm happy to be able to move onto my next build. detailed the engine a bit. used embossing powder for the interior, BMF all the trim, 3 coats of clear wet sanding in between coats and a final polish. Sad to say i lost a couple of parts. one door handle and the rear emblem were lost while trying to glue them on. forever lost in the jungle of the floor. .let me know what you think. thanks for taking the time to look

love the color nice job

I have a love hate relationship with the stuff...i tend to be heavy handed while burnishing and tear the foil. for every piece i have success with i have one i've had to peel off and do over.it can be very frustrating to use. it definitely takes skill and practice to get it right. i absolutely love it over painting trim work.

great color.nice work

This is just drop dead gorgeous !!!!

WOW!!! outstanding work

outstanding job..all you need is some junk in the back.
