Found a couple great vendors at Carlisle Pa this weekend at the fall show. If any of you are the guys I bought from-Thank you! Some great deals I thought-Early Bigfoot kit for parts I needed for a 79 F350 Wrecker project-25 bucks and was pretty complete; and a 71 340 Duster new in the box for 17-made the trip worth it for me!

Same here-I've had to learn a few times how to "un-glue" things-haha!

Welcome Joe! Lots of great stuff here for modelers of all levels-enjoy!

Welcome aboard! Lots of good info and great folks willing to lend an eye or ear here.

Welcome Don-from NY too and also my second time around. Lots of good people and info here-enjoy!

Holy smokes-that paint is gorgeous.

Thank you all so much for the input. Based on that, I think I'll get busy sanding as soon as its plenty dry, shoot some silver and then re-prime with white and see what happens. Stay tuned and thanks again!

I used a light gray sand able-usually have decent luck but maybe I'll look for some white. I don't have a good source locally for paint but I happen to be going to Carlisle to shop for a few kits this weekend and there's a good hobby store on the way that sells Tamiya. Thanks Slusher!

I'm building a replica of a 79 F350 wrecker my Dad drove years ago using the "Destroyer" cab and "Midnight Cowboy" wrecker body. I used the same primer and same paint on both pieces and sprayed them at the same time. The white on the cab appears off-white while the wrecker body is bright white. Any ideas?

This is a great kit and it looks like you're off to a great start!

That's freakin cool-nice job!

Thank you all very much! The shaker hood came from Comp Resins and the wheels are a two piece replica of the Work Meister S1 from BNA model world-I was very happy with the quality of both of them.

Thanks Jordan! Still a couple small details I'd like to add, but they're seldom ever "finished"-haha!

Thank you very much o-man and Pappy

I came across this sinister looking Challenger on line several months ago owned by a gentleman named Jon Sibal. Jon is a freelance artist and does everything from automotive design to comic book covers, and is extremely talented. Anyway, I fell in love with his car and this was my attempt to replicate it-I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I did building it!

That's a really great idea to build that way, and for the price I wouldn't have passed on them either!

Very cool-nice job!

Without a doubt, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

Looks nice-I had an 86 1:1 and would like to replicate it someday-this looks like a good kit to do that with.

Thank you!

Very cool project-I'm a Mopar guy but I had an 86 GT and it was one of my favorite cars ever-can't wait to see more.

Thank you-feel like I've learned a few things and found some inspiration already!

Nice job on this so far-I need to get one!

Thanks for all the welcomes!

Hello everyone, I'm back into building about 6 months now after taking about 15 years off while the kids grew so I didn't have to worry about things being broken, stepped on, or eaten. Love this hobby and I'm really happy to see how much growth there has been. I found one other forum that's nice and a little smaller, but just stumbled across this one recently. Looking forward to learning and sharing-have a great day.
