  1. Masking tape, roll some around your finger and press it on the decal and slowly lift, should lift the decal off, most likely in little bits at a time.
  2. Pretty cool. Thanks for posting that.
  3. I use spray cans, when I returned to building, I had paint issues as well, always got orange peel, and lots of it. Thru experiment and reading topics here, I found that a ‘quick and close’ method worked for me. And I always do a full on ‘wet’ coat. Obviously air brushing is a different game, but I’m still in rattle can territory. Here are some examples before clear coat polishing,
  4. Wow, you’re going right to town on this, looks amazing so far!
  5. Gorgeous group of builds, tough to pick a favorite.
  6. Great looking trio, love the background too!

    Thanks all for the kind words.
  9. Off to a great start. I got lucky, have two 4200’s in the stash that I got for cheap a few years back.
  10. Beautiful group of builds, that wagon is just the bees knees! Absolutely love that build.
  11. Will be cool to see this come together, I did the same thing years back as the CF set up, was a fun build, other than wrestling that cab together……
  12. Making some progress, adding a Neway lift axle ( from GW Trucks), got enough of the frame together to get the lift axle somewhat situated, mocked it up with some other wheels/tires I had on hand just to get a feel for things. Still a lot to do on the frame and lift axle, but it’s moving along.
  13. I’m in, last year was an epic fail, but this one I’ll finish, lol. Italeri Pete 378 with moebius flat bed trailer.
  14. I like that a lot, cool combination and well built.
  15. Great looking group, I really like the ‘smooth’ look of them all, if that makes sense. I’m torn between the t bird and elco as my favorite. Well done on all, can picture all of them showing up to a cruise night.

    Thanks guys, much appreciated. I really went on a building spree around mid September early October , and then had Christmas week off, so got a lot done late in the year.

    Got more done than I realized this year, considering from April to September I really didn’t build anything, the rig was built in about 12 hours, few buddies and I did a 24 hours of Daytona build-off, mostly pleased with what I got done this year.
