  1. Mark, I bought an artograph 1530 booth when I got back into building, as I too was wondering how I was going to paint thru the winter. granted, it is a wee bit expensive, but, it is mostly metal, fits rig trailer sides in it, and is triple filtered. I absolutely love it, and would be lost without it. I paint all year 'round indoors, and if you keep the filters clean, it really knocks the smell down, so much so, I don't even vent it outside. again, a bit expensive, but in the long run a great investment in my opinion.
  2. thanks guys. so, Dan, you're in Houston, I am in NY, what do you figure the half way point is? maybe a 12 hour drive by each of us for a photo op? lol. or maybe get someone good at photoshop to park them next to one another when I get mine done that sure would look cool.......
  3. Joe, this thing is amazing, I can almost smell the green tree air freshener in it. I think it's cool that you have built this twice, and so many years apart, just cool stuff man!
  4. nice color! that should really pop with some clear on it. chassis warp, I did a 50 ford pick up and the chassis/fenders were warped pretty bad, I ran it under hot water in my kitchen sink, then 'bent' it past being flat/true, then under the water again, then twist, and repeat. took a bit, but I finally got it 99% straight.
  5. looking good, love the stance, wheels and tires. tuned in for this one.
  6. well guys, the Camaro part of this project is complete [finally], so look for some actual progress on this in the coming weeks the Camaro's awaiting the trailer to arrive, stay tuned......
  7. I like it, love the color combo, this is gonna be a tough looking rig when done.
  8. Ray, looking great man, love that color! I think I may pick this kit up next time I see it, the box art does nothing for me, but seeing your build has talked me into it.
  9. looking good so far! and I can so understand the needing new eyes..........
  10. absolutely stunning! you're almost there Joe! p.s. not trying to be nit-picky, but if you look in the pic of the engine compartment, it looks like the front of the battery needs a touch more paint to cover completely, but then again, it may just be the pic.
  11. the group, in storage waiting for phase two to get done, I want to thanks everyone for the input, comments and support on this adventure, you all really kept me going! it has been 4 months to the day to do this little project. will do an under glass post next weekend, hopefully with some better pic's. thanks again everyone
  12. looking killer so far, that 409 looks great!
  13. that'll buff right out........
  14. looking forward to seeing more pic's, before you clear it, try the decals anyway, if you don't like them, you can remove them. might as well give it a shot
  15. thanks everyone, it has been a trip so far..... #6 progress, got a ton of work done this morning, everything is set to go to complete this one tomorrow morning, have to add the hood pins, mirrors, PE emblems, exhaust and rear spoiler. stay tuned for the end of 'phase one' at some point tomorrow
  16. Joe, looking good brother! although I would like to see all the hose clamps indexed properly lol, just kidding, looks fantastic!
  17. love it, just looks 'so right' to me.
  18. one of the coolest things I have seen! awesome build Dan, well, builds actually just flat out cool
  19. wow, that red is fantastic!!! this is going to be gorgeous!
  20. thanks everyone number 5 is done! the plan for tomorrow morning is to start foiling the last one, then get the interior and chassis assembled to the body and finish it off sunday morning. we are almost to the end of 'phase one', lol. the 'set' so far,
  21. Michael, thanks. they are kit chrome believe it or not. i painted the wheel centers either silver or flat aluminum [can't remeber which one lol], then used one of those black micro pens to color in the slots. just had to be carefull not to get paint on the outer ring or the center cap.
  22. haha, good one!
  23. I dig it!
  24. very cool build so far, looks great.
