  1. Thanks you guys. I have some light gray primer,and, black primer. I forgot to mention that the instruction sheet also shows the drive shaft painted 'body color', that don't sound right, but I don't really know. Tom, I currently own a '64 Valiant Signet 200 2-dr hrdtp.
  2. Chris, your T-Bolt looks awsome! I like the maroon, and, in the top and bottom photo's it looks 1:1 Way to go!
  3. Wow, looking good Robert. Did you use molds for the acrylic parts, or, just turn them from stock pieces? They look really good. Engine looks good too.
  4. Not boring at all. Beautiful work Pat. Ya, what he said.
  5. Hey everyone, I've got an old AMT '71 340 Duster kit I started years ago that I'm going to try and finish and have a couple paint/color questions. I'm building it factory stock. The main question concerns the chassis: The instruction sheet shows that the bottom of the chassis should be painted the body color, but didn't Mopars from this era have semi-gloss black chassis' with some overspray of the body color coming over the sides? Or, where they in fact painted the body color? The interior is going to be white but even with 'white' interior wouldn't the: dash, carpet, console, steering wheel? (and I'm not sure what else) be painted black on a '71 Duster 340? Any and all info will be greatly appreciated.
  6. Thanks Dave, it's people like you that make this whole thing work as well as it does. I for one am grateful.
  7. Nice build Lenny, looks very clean and RED! Love the '41 Willy's! Thanks for sharing with us.
  8. Looking good Jeremy!
  9. Beautiful Tye. I dig it. Where did you find this kit? Oh, btw, that red is just awsome.
  10. Nice looking car, great paint job!
  11. Wow, that engine bay looks 1:1! Nice work!
  12. Great job Kevin. Great paint job that probably looks better real time. Engine looks great too.
  13. Very, very nice Ray. I love '57 Fords. This one is mean and green.
  14. Very nice job on the Firebird!
  15. What a great subject and rebuild. Not a car often seen, 1:1, or , in scale.
  16. Thanks for the info you guys. I'll pick-up some Model Master.
  17. Yesterday I was at my local HL and they had Testors FL. White in the 1/4oz. bottles and Model Master in the larger 1/2oz. bottles. Besides size and price is there any difference between the two brands of paint given they are both Testors products?
  18. Thanks G, for the info on the clear coats, I thought no one cared, lol. Ya, the weather here is far from ideal for painting outside much of the time. I've got a Willy's I've been working on too that I just used Pledge on 'cause I can brush it on inside. Jeez, that laquer stunk up my house for hours after I brought it in. It looks beautiful though, excluding the few blemishes I have to clean up. I think overall it looks better than the Pledge. Build on!
  19. Another great car Shane! That red on the top is AWSOME!
  20. Nice car Shane. Love the color combo, it works well, very well. What kit did you start with?
  21. I'm thinking the answer would be no, 'Cause the Pledge is not gonna cover the sanding marks, they will show through. My detemination after much deliberation.
  22. Hey everyone, I cleared a car two days ago (GTO) with lacquer and there are a few bad spots that I can sand out. But since it's going to be very humid here for the next few day's and I paint outside I thought maybe I could just put Pledge over the laquer. Are the spots that I sand going to show through the Pledge? That's the question, thanks.
  23. Your scaring me here John, that cars gotta be real!
