The flakes were so large they would most likely plug my air brush. Alcad is what I am using on the tips and is too cromie for thepipes and mufflers. I will check into the rub-n-buff stuff Thanks

I was using Rust-oleum Metallic aluminum but it had too much metallic then I tried some Rust-oleum High Performance Wheel Steel but it cam out looking like a metal flake silver. (may use this as a body color on a future build). The flat aluminum might be what I need , thanks

Don't give up, I feel your pain. I have 4 64 Mopar bodies that have been in and out of the golden and purple ponds at least 2 times each trying to get the paint right. I finally finished making my scratch built Max Wedge exhaust and on the final paint application it went flakie. I have built at least 3 coils and they still don't look right. And there is a few other problems I am dealing with. I treat each failure as just a stepping stone to a good outcome and definitely learn from each trial and tribulation. Just look at it as a good thing if you can. Everybody goes thru it.

I am looking for some stainless steel colored paint for exhaust systems. I found some Krylon SS paint. The finish very rough and looks like metal flake with large granules of paint' Not what I wanted has anybody else tried this paint ? Thanks

I was hoping to have my Mopar Duo done for the show but that ain't happening either. Just be spending money I dont have and BSing

I feel your pain. I am about to take a body out of the Golden Pond (brake fluid) and put another in. Attempt #5 on a decent black paint job on a 64 Belvedere. Maybe I will see you at Floyd's show next month

To bad, there were some nice decals there

Very nice, Great engine detail also like the under carriage detail including the heat discoloration on the exhaust

Are you looking for these ? I have an original set not sure how usable they are

BB's , put one in the jar when I first open it. As of late I have been de-canting spray cans. I add the mixer ball from the can to the storage jar. (be careful when pouring in smaller bottles. That mixer ball can make a heck of a splash if you forget about it.)

I can say positively I will never have any of those kits in my stash

It is getting there Greg. Today I will attempt to paint my 64 Belvedere black (my fourth attempt at getting a smooth painted surface) and maybe even my 64 Dodge red (my third attempt). I am expecting better results with the VL airbrush (I just got) over the Harbor fright dual action. Glad I have two sets of bodies to work with. I can be prepping one while the other soaks in the pond. Hope you can find time to work on it after doing all the storm cleanup.

Not sure what size you need but check out Walmart for wire they show some in 22 and 24 Ga.

Great place to find resources . Could only be better if it listed what type of products they sell

Maybe if it was on the Simpsons it could be the "Bartmobile"

This is just a file photo. not sure where my pics are Was definitely a scary fast car. There were a few times I got a bit too heavy on the "go" pedal from a stop and ended up facing the wrong direction. It had the option of pushing a button and stiffening up the suspension for some flat cornering. Hated to get rid of it but the "brain" box went out and there were none available.

I was partial to my 90 Super Coupe

It comes with a warning label "Knot to be Driven faster than than a slow lumber"

I wonder if it has floorboards ? Looks like something you would see in Bedrock. It does solve the "rust" problems but them pesky termites might be worrisome

So far only super glue mixed with baby powder

I have been using 3M Fine Line Tape I bought at an auto paint supply stores a few years back. Sees to do OK https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-17961/3M-Masking-Tape/3M-218-Fine-Line-Masking-Tape-1-4-x-60-yds?pricode=WY475&gadtype=pla&id=S-17961&gclid=CMCvhOaoqc8CFc9ffgodUZ4CNA&gclsrc=aw.ds

I am doing some testing on using Future over flat black. Trying to keep as much body detail as I can.

Yeah , looks like a "oops" on the box art.Unless you went a little crazy with a 64 Chrysler 300. Call it "Color Me Heavy"
