This is gonna be a cool looking bus?

Another option for tanks is krylon chrome, it’s kind of shiny, but not chrome, I use it a lot on tanks.

Before it’s all sold out, find some testors aluminum plate buffing metalizer, it’s great for fuel tanks. I also use easy off in the yellow can for dechroming.

I’m robbing the whole engine /trans out of this kit,

There stock has remained relatively unchanged for quite some time now.

New Hartford store?

Check the trading post section here, a member has a ton of little testors bottle paint for trade, maybe a bottle or two of it in there?

SRV and double trouble , during the soul to soul tour. Opening act was his brothers band, the fabulous thunderbirds. That had to have been around 1986 I’m guessing?? After both sets, him and his brother jammed together for a bit, was amazing ....

Fantastic color combo! This is going to be a gorgeous truck.

Cool project , it’s looking good so far. I need to get one of these busses....

Roughed in a few more bits, also got a start on the dash, been slow going, but I’m happy with the progress so far.

What a beautiful car, congratulations again.

Hobby lobby today...

Is this in your garage yet? Would love to see more pics of this beauty.

Last I talked with Gary Wallace it was a go, nov 22 I believe, along with said restrictions

Steve, have a few ideas for color, but nothing definite yet, most likely two tone though. fuel cell is almost done, have to make some mounting tabs, found a couple batteries, and some big rig air tanks I can turn into nitrous bottles.

I like where this is going, cool project. thanks for the tip on using the other frame, I’ve set these two kits together so I can do the same thing eventually.

Thanks all. Slow going , but I’ve got a good start on the fuel cell...

Where does one find those dealer signs?

Another vote for liquid. Also, I have found with using liquid glue due to the melt/weld of it, more often than not after proper sanding, no filler is needed.....

Hey all, I really don’t mess with die cast models, but a buddy of mine wants me to do a 70 nova for him to match his 1:1. He has the die cast, but it needs a color change, so all the scripts and whatnot will not be savable. Does anyone make this stuff? I have no idea what’s available out there. Any leads or ideas are appreciated.

I think a lot of times , as previously mentioned, scale is relative. I’ve found lots of 1/24 parts ‘look’ right on 1/25 models. I build a lot of big rigs, and a lot of the rigs I do are 1/24, yet the 1/25 trailers look at home behind them.

Congratulations! fantastic looking car, gonna be a few sleepless nights until that beauty is in your garage......, I know I’d be chomping at the bit .

This is looking good, I love the color scheme.

Sharp truck! That interior is gorgeous, well done.
