  1. Thanks Mike. Yeah that sucks loosing stuff like that. I foiled the R/H side and applied Molotow on the cluster side. Then I shot a light coat of acrylic dull coat over both sides to make them look alike in regards to luster. Console is all BMF. Thanks Greg! I've heard good things about Createx and may try it at some point. For me this Stynlrez is the way to go. I've met some folks that say they would just flat NEVER use it again and then there's others like myself who love using the stuff. It just flows so dang good from the AB.
  2. Looks good aside from some minor alignment /fit issues between the interior tub and body but that'll be fairly easy to negotiate. That paint looks as smooth as silk Curtis.
  3. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of this build.
  4. Yezzir....you can count me "IN" on watching the rest of this one come together.
  5. Nice surgery and wheel swap out.
  6. That's one smooth paint job dude. Thumbs up all the way here.
  7. Looking forward to seeing that motor dropped in there.
  8. Oh man......this is gonna be so fun to watch come together.
  9. Tom that car turned out masterfully!! The paint job alone is all that and then you throw in the details and the overall look. REALLY knocked this one out of the park. Been a while since I've talked atcha. Will be more adamant about getting in on your build threads buddy.
  10. Thanks Mike!! Thank you Carl. I use Stynlrez Black for a base and then come back over it with a super thin coat of MM Semi Gloss Black to get the right vinyl effect. Stynlrez is something that most folks either absolutely love or hate. For me it goes on SUPER smooth and the results are well enough worth the only pitfall that the stuff has in my experience and that'll be the airbrush and paint cup clean up. Stuff is HELL to clean off but like I said.....the result that it gives is as near perfect as I've ever seen. I used Stynlrez gray for my 1/35 Ryefield Type 82 Volkswagen last year and weathered it lightly. The finish turned out great and the color was a very close match to the German Gray that was needed. I'm tellin' ya....this stuff lays down smooth as silk.
  11. I'll be checking that out. Still looking good here.
  12. Looking forward to progress on this one.
  13. Lookin' good so far Ken.
  14. Let's see what you're working with Declan.
  15. Thanks Joe. Glad to be back as well. 'Preciate that Steve!! Glad you're in on this as well Mike. I dunno 'bout dat master part but I do thank you for the vote of confidence brother.
  16. Good lookin' lil' build Declan!!! Yes sir....I've been down that no-fit road a time or two but I'm certain you'll work this out.
  17. Thanks Keith. It's not a bad kit, you just have to watch out for the a$$ low stance depending on what you want to do with it. It's pretty easy to correct if you plan it all out. Alright gang. Got the interior tub completed. Holes were drilled in the tops of the door panels at the rear of the doors where the door lock knobs while be installed later on near the end of the build.
  18. Oh HELL yeah!! I'm DEFINITELY in on this one!!!!
  19. Love all the fabbing and imagination going into this build Dave. Awesome work pal.
  20. Great mods to get the ride height where you want it. This is going to be killer!!
  21. Just got through reading the intro post and WOW!! What a turn of events. Sounds like things are on the upswing for you Michael and that's GREAT!!! This build looks like it's coming along very well so far bud. Looking forward to more.
  22. You've definitely achieved a great effect with that top with the method you used. I'd be very happy with that outcome Steven.
  23. Thanks Bill! ? Continuing on ......... Got the rear seat belts finished up and this pic is with the rear seat test fitted into place. Now moving on to the finishing touches to the interior tub.
  24. Now THAT..........................is sharp.
