  1. Anybody make Nailhead Bucket T headers in 1/16th ?
  2. I am also a fan of MCW paint.

  4. My personal favorite was while in a Automotive class at a Community College a gal brought her car in because it was running bad. We pulled her purse off the chock knob. She pulled the knob out to hang her purse there.
  5. Mail Call: Going to the "dark" side of "Big Scale" Also 4 Engines from Texas 3d, a 1/16 Nailhead , a 124th Nailhead, a Flattie with Ardun Heads and a Blower, and a SBF with a Paxton. all good stuff.
  6. Thanks that will work.
  7. looking for something like this for a Shelby GT 350
  8. Is there a Paxton Supercharger available for a SMF ?
  9. This was a fresh batch, purchased a couple months ago, mixed in a fresh glass jar. Sprayed in area with low humidity and 60deg. I think I may order more thinner from Splash, He is from my local area. i think my Eclipse may have a larger tip .Actually the finish is too shiny for this build and I may go back to Alclad klear
  10. I finally started using my Splash paints. I needed some Pepper Grey and Pepper Black for my Elsinor build. Since I already had some of their 2K clear I thought I would give it a shot. I mixed it as directed but it seemed to be to thick for my Patriot 105 with .5 tip. I add some of the Splash thinner but I didn't have very much and it would still not spray. It would spray a bit at first but immediately clog. I add some Lacquer thinner and it would flow OK but it seems like it never really hardens. This is my first attempt ay using 2K clear. Any advise is appreciated Thanks
  11. On my former job I would order the Dremels for my department. Some of the crew would tighten the chucks so tight that it was almost impossible to open them. After a few of these when I received a new set I would throw away the wrench and put a keyless chuck on them. I have the chucks on both my Dremel and my Craftsman ( made by Dremel). The keyless chucks won't fit on the Chicago Electric (Harbor Freight).
  12. Found this pic. looks right by me
  13. bought mine on ebay , 3mm and 5mm
  14. Thanks for posting at first I thought it was a T.R.O.G. event. Lot of Rolling Bones style cars. Here is my tribute Rolling Bones build.
  15. Splash paints labeling is a bit off. I looked up the number on the surfacer and it was the same number as the primer. I believe the clear activator is for the clear , still unsure on the catalyst. Some bottles don't have any numbers on the label. I did purchase some of these a few years back and some just recently, which may be the cause of confusion,
  16. I am new to Splash Paints and need some guidance. I want to paint a car that has some resin parts. I have Oxide Red Primer and Dark Grey Surfacer, what's the difference between a primer and a surfacer ? I have 2K gloss clear, clear thinner, clear activator and catalyst. I can't find any info on how to use these other than the air pressure and needle size. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
  17. Big thanks for the donations to our Modelfest, it is today and maybe I will be lucky enough to win one.
  18. Didn't see them on his web site. My club puts on a Model Car Fest and he donated some kits
  19. coming soon . thats all I can say
  20. My first thought was 50's Hudson but the except for the headlight eyebrow and the square mirror. The Baby Bird would also have a round mirror. No sure what year they started with the square outside mirrors.
  21. For some reason the front reminds me of a Catfish
  22. From what I remember I used lacquer thinner
  23. I put clear rhinestone's behind the lens
  24. I have used Duplicolor primer decanted in a airbrush with no problem. It may need thinned a bit.
