  1. I built the kw wrecker using the kw cab, the interior tub will fit with the headlight section ( cab corners ) installed. It's tight. I angled up the rear by bunk then slowly pinch the interior sides around the step "humps" it'll click in place. I left off the grill so I had finger room . Looks like a fun project so far
  2. Local shop had 205 fresh from the mail truck, great tribute to Harry !! Good to see the mag back in circulation
  3. Man mike that looks awesome up on its chassis!! Don't forget the basketball hoop behind the bunk !!!! Looking forward to all the chrome filling up the spaces it's gonna be fantastic
  4. The top one appears to be a step that can fold up when not in use Jim B nailed the bottom set
  5. Fixed hosting issue...this stalled project is coming back soon sorry for the long hibernation
  6. Thanks ! Now I can show the Texas bumper. . I buffed w fine steel wool then metal polish..ended up decent The lettering has been problematic, finding out gold rub on tranfers are very brittle and seem to refuse sticking to the finish.I tried 2 different sheets and same issue occurred. The white wasn't an issue. Tom B mentioned gold molotow pens so I'll use those -thanks tom Here's the truck as it sits tonite Any comments or criticism welcome
  7. Jim your ability to locate obscure items shocks me..that and the fact you found a resin toilet lol
  8. And better racing instead of follow the leader . Change all the rules ya want..they've taken the driving away from the athletes.
  9. Nice castings overall can't wait to see what's up your sleeve
  10. Awesome looking model !!!
  11. Thanks DC haven't seen ya much around here..thought maybe ya caught that red hand rash too lol The decals lay down easily, but assure you cut very close to the stripes cause the carrier covers the entire sheet. I ended up with a few clear blobs . Using decal solvent like Micro sol will pull them into low areas and around details.
  12. Thanks ! It's taking much longer than expected
  13. Your work is impeccable, so clean and detailed it's a pleasure to follow along watching them develop. I run into the same issue getting tubing and stock to look proper, sometime I just lucky guess
  14. Tiny update for tonite..my first custom visor ! Thin metal sheet from k& s about thickness of soda can..it's extremely sharp Everything else is wrapping up but been tough stealing productive bench time lol I'll probably add the Texas bumper before long, once i practice technique on scrap, and all the finish touches . Stay tuned
  15. The use of comet isn't really an issue when using dawn and water imo. The parts I've done still require primer and painting...which fills in the tiny scratches you MIGHT get . I don't scrub the part just a light washing works fine...but it's just an idea . I use duplicolor primers for everything they bite into resin like a dog on steak.
  16. Ditto^ just placed another order from jamie awesome stuff
  17. Dawn dish soap w a shake of comet cleaner also works , scrub with an old toothbrush, rinse, air dry. Been using this on a few resin parts lately. Hope it helps
  18. Sure our local highway dept would let me snap a few pics and measure theirs , drop me a pm if needed, I'll chat up the super. Sounds like jeff b already has us covered ! Can't wait to see it cast
  19. Man that's a serious collection of old iron there..I think I spotted a 71 cutlass coupe facing a picket fence . Too bad they already know where Bullitt is or I'd suspect it was lurking there lol
  20. Wow those other pics really show how lucky the driver was, I think God played a hand in this one and it wasn't pushing those boulders off the bank . Insurance companies sure love to use fine print to avoid payouts ! Keep safe
  21. Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments! !
