Yep, that's going to require some major surgery ... your no stranger to that ? I think those came out of the Revell '63 Impala SS kit...Nice Good Luck eh!... lol

Had a good trade with JC Reckner(afx), even though it took almost 30 days for mine to get to him,...yikes ! A real stand up guy? Good parts trade with Kurt Womack(89Akurt) Good parts trading with Leroy Long(LL3works) Great place we have here...Cheers

Totally Macgyver'd.....I love it ! If you just gotta have a wooden wheel Quick Reply Reply harry Member since August 2007 From: Halfway between the Loop and the prairie Posted by harry on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 3:00 PM On most cars that feature wood trim, wasn't the wood almost always varnished to a high gloss? And wasn't the actual wood grain "surface detail" you mentioned buried under several coats of gloss...thereby leaving the wood with a glassy smoooth finish? Even on unfinished woods, as for example the stakes on a stake-bed truck, the rough grain surface detail (not the woodgrain pattern, but the actual "ins and outs" of the grain) would be virtually invisible when reduced down 24 or 25 times. Nothing wrong with using real wood on a model, if you have the talent to do so, but I still think realistic decals (either store-bought or homemade) are a better solution for most "average" modelers in most cases. Of course, decals won't always work..you can't very well decal a wooden steering wheel rim, for instance. That's where your best bet is a painted woodgrain finish. I know the phrase "nothing looks more like real wood than real wood"...but I don't think it's necessarily true in many cases in the 1/24-1/25 scale world. The pessimist sees the glass half empty. The optimist sees the glass half full. But only the realist sees that the glass is simply the wrong size. -------------------------------- "I've had a wonderful evening.

Nice paintwork, picking out the details, John. Those seatbelt decals behaved nicely for you ? Cheers

Engine looks really good Steve,.. It's at this point that I start thinking of maybe making a scale motor stand, and leaving it out of the car...lol Watching? Cheers

Nice work on that wrap Kurt..tools are looking the part too. Glad the distributors showed up! They add so much when your wiring ....
