  1. Much of the time the stars indicate chrome parts , but don't recall intake manifold being chrome on the Pacer
  2. Heard the Tacom King Tiger kits were fantastic, always looking for something different to build
  3. Perfect color choice ! Recall seeing one of these running around town a few years ago, but more of a farm truck finish.
  4. Go for it !
  5. Fantastic fabrication !!! Love the grill
  6. Such an opportunity for opening the lower hood panels and stuffing a proper Detroit engine in there !!! Your color choice sounds great on this beast
  7. Aww love those noisy do dads!!! Funny cause of one my wreckers had 303 diameter cylinders. Your lowboy is really filling out now , can't wait to see the finish from the tape !
  8. Really fun looking truck, and your nailing that box ! So for the angled windshield, since your cab is metal I'd try something like milliput. Its a 2 part epoxy putty akin to jb weld but used in the hobby world mainly. Its easy to apply and work shapes into before curing . I'd try to roughed up the area for some tooth, mix the putty together and apply to the windshield frame from the center outwards. Moisten the putty slightly allows working time and smooths it very nice.. Just a thought
  9. Opened a recent arrival from AITM , the RM Mack conversion. I have this ridiculous idea to build a truck mounted snowblower and this is the truck for it . I picked up the proper 14x24 tires , wheels , and suitable suspension also Now to find the time..
  10. Nice work on a cool little trailer seen frequently
  11. Anything will work, both of your primers mentioned will be fine . I spray mica red over white or gray , it takes a few passes to build a rich color
  12. I've used the pe saws for years opening doors and fine detail work. The bigger razor saws work good for larger areas where finese isn't needed
  13. Good tips ! I've forgotten much more from school than I recall yikes
  14. Fantastic work really enjoyed watching this come together!
  15. Awesome work Love the color choice too
  16. Stellar work Charles ! I truly enjoy your builds w very clear photos and explanations of your process . Really like how you always seem to start w a blank sheet and build off of that. Great tip using the pvc corners , curved corners have always alluded me
  17. Garbage Use the Ajax or comet powder and clean you'll be much happier
  18. Another tip that was suggested to me , was wash the parts in Dawn dishsoap . Then use something like Ajax powder or comet and make a fine paste and lightly scrub body . This seems to help the stubborn mold release on some parts . Rinse well and air dry . Prime w a good automotive primer , not the tamiya stuff first for better adhesion
  19. Nice and low !!
