Quick GMC

I can't stop watching this. http://speedsociety.com/3000hp-twin-turbo-mustang-comeback-original-footage/?var=1320 Edit: scroll down the page a bit. Apparently he went airborne and destroyed the car. I'm looking for the video of that now.

Does anyone make these? These look killer, but they are always out of stock http://www.dirtmodeler.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=79&product_id=120

If only I have $40k. I figured some guys here would like to drool over this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mustang-SVT-Cobra-R-Coupe-2-Door-2000-ford-mustang-svt-cobra-r-coupe-2-door-5-4-l-/321464506727?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4ad8c71967&item=321464506727&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

Palm Springs. It's not all like that though, It's certain areas where the wind funnels through, which happens to be exactly where I live, and where I work. I grew up a few towns over, which is just a 10-15 minute drive, and we never had wind issues. Here is another idea. Building a Lexan box to drop down over the booth onto the desk. This way I can enjoy the AC, I get the spray booth I want and it's sealed like the blast box, but it's easy disassembled. I hope you can make sense of this

The America that everyone wants to reminisce about and wish would come back is gone. It will never be what it was. This is good in some ways, bad in others. Adapt or die.

The US ships chicken to China for processing, then imports it back in. The US exports most of it's Salmon, then imports inferior Salmon for us to eat. It's not Chinese chicken, it's just Chinese processed. It works this way with a large number of consumer goods all over the world. I work in the stone industry. They quarry granite slabs in Brazil, then load up a container ship and send it to China. Then china sends it back, then we buy it from Brazil> Somehow that's cheaper than Brazil buying processing equipment.

Our record rainfall for the year is under 5 inches, and that pretty much happened within 48 hours. It rains about twice a year, outside of that it is typically dusty. Some nice days, but if I waited for the dust free days, I wouldn't be accomplishing much. We don't experience seasons, or freeze thaw. It's death for 5 months and pretty BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH nice for the other 7. Minus the wind. In other areas of the valley, like 15 minutes East, it's perfect. No wind at all. I think I have it figured out, at least on a temporary budget anyway. The way my bench is positioned, i can place the artograph booth on top, then surround the bench with plastic from floor to ceiling with those Zip Wall things. If I need to take it down, it will all come down in a few minutes. I don't like the idea of a visquene room inside my room, but for right now, it's the only thing that makes sense to be. it's the easiest to set up and break down. The one thing I have not addressed is the heat. It's in front of the hottest window in the house and there won't be ac inside the plastic. I guess if it's sealed off, and I run the booth to clear the air, I can run a small fan to cool me down, or is that a bad idea to have any moving air in there?

Tried that too. If I remember correctly, the guy posted something along the lines of "here are some of mine", but did not include details. This thing is a ghost.

I've been looking in there. I looked through All 36 pages of that thread with the drag cars

Someone posted a model in one of those "show me your xxxx models" threads and for the life of me I cannot find it. It was the 65 Chevy Stepside truck, but it was a fully built custom pro street with a caged 4 link rear end. The color was bright Pinkish/Burgandy-ish. Maybe HOK Brandywine or something like that. i want to use that model as a reference for my own. i have a lot of trouble coming up with ideas on how to execute stuff like this because I am not familiar with the setups in real life. If anyone can direct me to that thread it would be greatly appreciated.

It's easy to overlook, I missed it when I was looking too. They have one for the 57 Chevy as well.

Thank you

The majority of people that find out I build model cars have always been dumbfounded how much time I put into them. Like it's been stated before, I think people just don't realize how much time could go into a model. Most people didn't know that you could buy detail parts or anything like that.

I can't believe they never kitted the '00 Cobra R. I love that car

The humidity increases every few years. For a month or so it's pretty brutal. last year we had a week of 116-119, humidity in the 70% range. PURE DEATH. I use these things called Zip Wall for my business, they are designed specifically for this, and they can be broken down in a minute. The PVC pipe idea reminded me that I have these. You can even add a zipper flap https://www.zipwall.com/ I really like that Artograph booth, but the only way it will work is if I have it sealed off. This may be the answer. I love the blast cabinet, but I don't know if I would be able to handle that. I hate feeling constricted and I have a feeling having my arms in a box is going to drive me nuts.

Thank you. Is it pretty self explanatory how the gloves attach or did you have to modify anything?

Doesn't matter, dust is in the air. There is a sand dune across the street, I literally live in the desert. We regularly see 30-40mph winds. It's minor, but I have ruined so many great paint jobs because there was dust or hair in it. I can only paint with fast drying acrylics or lacquers, enamels are out of the questions. I have been fighting this for years, always looking for a solution. i am coming to the conclusion that I need an enclosure or it simply won't work. My main problem is I have gotten to the point where I feel I should be able to have the space in my room, I shouldn't have to go out into the garage to airbrush, but I'm thinking that's what I will have to do. It's either get this figured out or quit the hobby, because I simply cannot complete a model. I have a dozen or so that are done, except the bodies have bad paint jobs or have been stripped so many times they're ruined. I think I might just suck it up and build an enclosure in the garage. I can't afford the room inside right now. i have a 7 month old. When he is old enough, we can move the full bed out of this room and into his room. Then I will be able to have a little more freedom. I need to do something now though. This hobby keeps me in check and it's been 6 months since I've touched anything on my bench. Thank you. i am going to read through this. I thought about a blasting booth, but I wasn't sure how it would work. I'm not a fan of handling things with the bulky gloves. Edit: I read the thread. I'm very picky when I wear gloves, i have to be able to feel stuff that I'm touching with detail or I just fumble around. I want to check out those vet gloves you use and see if they might work for me. This might work out in the end, as I can set it up in the room or the garage and have it be somewhat mobile. One thing I am going to do is drill a hole in the wall of my house and put a PVC pipe through it. Spackle it up and touch up the stucco, caulk around it on the inside, add a one way, spring loaded trap door on the outside, that can be operated from the inside. This way I have a permanent, professional and clean looking vent that can be sealed off from the outside. if I ever need to eliminate it, I can stuff it with insulation and patch over it.

Thats what I was afraid of. I can't think of anyou way to manage the dust without an actual room

I found this, which seems hard to beat for the money, but I am worried about the fact that it pulls the air down. It seems like that would be the worst case scenario if therected was dust present http://www.amazon.com/Artograph-Hobby-Model-Spray-Booth/dp/B000KNFR2S

I know there are a lot of threads on spray booths but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I live it a desert climate with high winds. In the summer it is regularly 110 and up. This means two things; the wind is always blowing dust and dirt around and my A/C is always on for half the year, which also blows cap around. There is always dust blowing around. This has done everything short of making me just quit building all together. It's been devastating to my motivation, I have never 100% completed a model. I have always had a spray booth of some sort, which has helped a lot, but I want to do this right and be done 2 factors at play here: 1. The inevitable dust floating around. 2. I can't afford to build any type of completely enclosed room, and I don't have the space for it, or so I think. I want to build my own booth rather than buy one. Not to save money but to be able to do it just the way it needs to be done. My current booth uses a 80cfm ceiling fan. I'm going to utilize two fans for a total of 300-500 cfm on the new booth. I have a few questions/ concerns: 1. Is it possible to control or eliminate the dust immediately in front of the booth. With the cfm I plan on running I am afraid it will draw dust into the booth and just making it worse. 2. What would be the ideal style flow for the booth. Down draft? Should I have filters in multiple areas? 3. What would it take to build a stand up, fully enclosed booth? I don't have the room for a sit down booth. I have one room for myself for this hobby, but it triples as my office and guest room, so I don't get the whole thing. I'm 6,3", 250, so I figured a stand up booth would be more space friendly.

I have bought several. Duplicolor enamel from Napa, I have been able to get them off the shelf. GM Blue, Chevy Orange, etc. The more obscure colors will be harder to find, but they do offer the service to make you a spray can> i think I paid $14 or so.

If I had to buy a vehicle right now it would be a bigger truck. Maybe in a year or two I will be in the market, but right now I can't spend the money.

I think they said it includes audio books too, which is nice. I like reading, but I don't have much time anymore.

I hope the 2015 model makes the 2013 GT's more affordable. I would really love a Premium model with the brembo brakes.
