Quick GMC

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.

This looks like it has huge potential http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/future-cars/spy-photos-2016-ford-mustang-shelby-gt350-svt-without-heavy-camo-at-nurburgring?src=spr_FBPAGE&spr_id=1459_72335664

not it open wheel.

If this isn't cool enough, then I dunno what to tell you http://i.imgur.com/TJoRaMZ.jpg

From what I have read, they are trying to stick to actual stunts as much as they can and avoid the CGI. That alone should be worth the price of a movie ticket.

I started with less than than that, on my kitchen table. Now I have a whole room for it. It comes slowly, but you can appreciate everything more when it's harder to obtain.

Nicest one I've seen yet, beautiful!

this isn't relevant to the ongoing recalls, but since this is a GM bashing thread... I have a 2006 GMC Sierra, which I like very much. Had it 8 years, was on jack stands on and off because of tranny issues (my fault). Other than that I have never done ANYTHING to this truck, except change the brake pads once, it's been pristine. Over the last 6 months I have been noticing a really mild thunk in the front end while turning through intersections. I thought it was time for shocks (75k miles), or maybe time to look at the ball joints. No big deal, I can wait until I have the money. It started getting annoying, but last week I was turning through and intersection and something popped in the column right behind the steering wheel. The steering wheel went sloppy. I could wiggle it forward and backward, like it I pushed the top of the wheel towards the windshield. After a few minutes, it went stiff and was hard to turn. took it in the next day and they took the airbag out and found the bearing that holds the top of the column had fallen apart. The bearing had a plastic race that cracked and eventually led to the failure. I notice a few times while driving the rest of that day that a bump or intersection would push the front wheels and give me improper feedback at the steering wheel, it kind of scared the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH out of me. Anyway, they replaced the tilt housing assembly that had the two new bearings in it and the truck feels like brand new. The guy at the shop said he had never seen that before. How nice of GM to use plastic bearing parts in something like a freaking steering column. Not like that's critical part of the truck or anything.

Because it's an acid. It eats the concrete. Not nearly as bad as some others, but it can still damage it. Depending on the concentration, it shouldn't damage it too bad.

Chrome wheel cleaner. The active ingredient is ammonium biflouride, which is the active ingredient in most rust removers.
