  1. Paint stripping has a pinned post at the top of this section. Just like measure twice cut once. Reasearch a week before you spend 5 mins execution. Maybe thats why I have to many unfinished kits lol
  2. I know mine barely pulls in steam but just enouph smoke to not set off my alarm lol
  3. Are you suggesting put the blower at the window instead of the booth? Luckily I saved my 13a supply from my rc addiction days lol
  4. Thanks brother I always do extensive research on almost anything I do. And the flamable and danger aspect seems to be more discussed than performance. Which is why I decided a blige blower. I would assume flex hose would be more turbulent but I dont think I can escape the 90 or 2 but from what ive read I should have atleast 18-24 inches of straight pipe from the blower before the 90? I am in a rented unit so venting out the window is inevitable.
  5. Has anyone heard of the garlits decals yet? If built the kit as far as I can without painting
  6. Mas machined aluminum specialties. Find them on ebay or tedsmodeling. Ive wanted to buy thier stuff for a while BUT for some reason I never recived a reply to any messages or emails. Im not meaning to bash them at all selling track record is great just communication has bugged me a little
  7. Ive bèen thinking blige blowers for a while. So 100 cfm pulls in all thr overspray? I plan on using an airbrush most of the time but rattle cans mainly for primer and a few of the one coat laquers from testors from time to time.
  8. Hey boys ive dicieded im going to build a booth over my holidays. I understand all the importance of ventilation and airflow in a room. But my main concern is how much cfm is needed to pull over spray from rattle cans into a furnace filter? My booth is planned at having 24"w x 18"h x 18" depth. Thanks in advance
  9. Tdr on Shapeways sells promod chassis
  10. Its the kit everyone has done or will do at sometime. Aside from being molded in blue there are not allot of issues with this kit. Now if you want to nit pick there are plenty of issues im sure we would all love see changed. Like Make it big block instead of a 327 mouse Rear leaf springs are way too soft and easily warp Front tires are horrible Front suspension is just plain odd to me Stock steering wheel? Im sure there is more but thats if you want to nit pick. I would call it the greatest basher kit ever made. Swap the engine and a set of rims and have a blast with it.
  11. No Ls1 on your fb page or your ebay?
  12. Dont bother brother pm your address ive got your glass. I bought the kit when it came with the pin but was missing the bumper so it ended up being a parts car
  13. Any ideas on the intake?
  14. After all my life loving hot rods and muscle, I never thought of a 392 hemi coming with an intake other than a blower or hillbourn injection. But this jem was parked at my door step the other day and my first thought was ive gotta make a model of it Seems to have a 25 ford front end and grill 392 hemi with single 4bbl cast intake 40ish ford cab So I need directions to find A 392 hemi single carb intake And "Chrysler fire power" valve covers? Is anyone making these? Did any kit come with them?
  15. Does anyone make pure white decals or can explain how I can make them myself? Id like to turn one of my tattoos into a shop logo for a 53 panel shop truck im building
  16. I do buddy but im building it sorry
  17. Is the chassis going to atleast be close for her car? This is the one I want to build because it was her first f/c she bought from connie I cant seem to find many reference photos even searching it as the bounty hunter
  18. I grabbed them because of the fact they are scarce. I had intentions to build the challenger but then I grabbed the mustang because I felt I got it on the cheap and Sometimes I buy things as small investments lol. If I can make some extra money places that helps my addiction with this hobby. Sweet we all know how expencive A/N fittings can get
  19. Brother you just saved this car. Im 27 and Heart like a wheel has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid (next to 1986 catch me if you can) I completely forgot that she drove a mustang to win her nitro championship. As bad as it seems the fire in her plymouth sticks to mind. Correction on myself she has an explosion in 72 with the 2nd mustang too lol Looks like they both get a build now the only question to ask is Should the mustang get full plumbing
  20. I only payed 15 for the revell kits lol im going to build the challenger box stock as the kit deserves but as for the mustang Im not sure what im going to do with it. I love drag history and the chassis is great but im not a very big ford fan ill start the challenger tomorrow and ill make this the wip thread thanks guys and please tune in and any tips for building this kit please do share I have never touched a jo-han before today I only payed 15 for the revell kits lol im going to build the challenger box stock as the kit deserves but as for the mustang Im not sure what im going to do with it.

  21. lol ok I opened up the challenger looks pretty good for an old kit I love the chassis of the mustang but fords are not my thing I grabbed them cuz I thought I got them on the cheap
  22. So I picked these up for 30 a piece. They are factory sealed but ive got a question. Have these been reissued? Whats the real market value? Should I just open and build or let them sit?
  23. That looks great. That front splitter come with the kit
