  1. I have the bass boat from the gone fishing set , probably not the right theme your going for though
  2. Gorgeous car
  3. Very cool this will come in handy
  4. Whoot whoot is hump day !!! The bodies in paint and starting the clear process...2 coats right now and a dust nib lands right on the trunk lid lol Inca gold after 1 coat pulled the tape off immediately after and sent it back to booth for clear . The color is so amazing flopping between different colors time to allow it time to cure , and decide if more is needed
  5. I'd definitely be interested! PM me for for info please and thanks !
  6. Casey , it will be 1/25
  7. Sorry David ( espo) I didn't reply to your question about the adhesive for carpet. I used a brown paint from tamiya , brushing a small area at a time then dusting the embossing powder on. I figured if the powder was thin the paint would conceal it Thanks everyone for their feedback
  8. I'm planning a build and would like to use this style intake and double plug heads, but unsure where to find one Any help appreciated.
  9. No problem Tim glad to have ya along I started paint today, the roof and coves got a coat of diamond dust lacquer, followed by multiple coats of white lightning. The silver took a very long time to hide under the white. I wanted both to show thru , hoping to enhance the pearl. The diamond dust coat laid down beautifully the white lightning after 3 medium wet coats, I ended session at 5 , and it looks good and even the interior colors kept me awake, and finally settled on champagne gold w white accents.
  10. Inca gold, same color the exterior will be
  11. The body shop was busy today getting the body sanded and back into primer . It reveals more work ahead in a few spots , but glad it showed up before color ! Sorry for the messy background lol I used a goldish color embossing powder to replicate the carpet I sprayed the upholstery primer white , and not completely sure what color combo to paint it . I've looked at several photos of Pacer interiors , they seem to use main body color and accent , which would be gold and white ..what's everyone opinion? I originally thought shades of Tan, but would appreciate a few suggestions . Heres the door panels and dash for reference
  12. Thanks ! I actually have a can of Phoenician yellow , and will try the spoon test
  13. Look forward to your updates , the Viper is my absolute favorite car
  14. This combo is off the charts ! I cringed when you said how twisted everything was, but you massaged it into shape ! Fantastic work
  15. Well we're flying or crawling thru May, and still have several builders hammering away on their projects ! Keep up the great work everyone!
  16. Now that's scratchbuilding ! Awesome work love the lines
  17. Very cool
  18. The powerplant is a mishmash of kit engine and Roush parts , just the kind of power improvements someone may have added . The electric fan is from BN L resins My buddy suggested the engine color , its sunburst yellow from rustoleum. while the booth was running , I sprayed the floor pan the future body color to get a feel for how it sprays . 3 light color coats , then 2 coats of wet look clear and it's done. I cant wait to spray the body now ! any feedback welcome!
  19. I was inspired by other builds on here to tackle an Edsel, but decided to add a few changes . I mixed the kit engine w the carb, air cleaner , and front cover / belts from the Foose FD 100 Roush engine . The wheels are from the parts box . I also ordered the MCG etch set to enhance the build detail. The body will be Inca gold w white roof and coves . The engine ended up a goldenrod shade . The separate frame will either be black or burnt metal, but in want to test the color ... All the holes were filled w rod or strip, this will be a modern touch on a classic. the wheels were from the parts box , not even sure what make they are. I originally planned to use the Foose Daggers all around , but didnt care for the huge rear wheels . The rear axle was just floating in the photo The finished rear ride height ended up slightly higher than I planned , but it's the stock axle position. I might add a small lift block before paint .
  20. My wheels arrived from moluminum, and they immediately went into the booth for a squirt of primer !!! Let em dry and fog some gloss white over them and my combo will be finished !!
  21. Nice work Tom ! The interior looks fantastic
  22. Thanks ! I'll paint the spool gunmetal then wash of rust
