    Very nice, very clean! I THINK I remember this model from SAE--am I right?

    What, the spray? Hobby Lobby has it too. The Plasti-Kote website doesn't even show the jars anymore.

    The J-B Weld comes in 2 tubes, white and black. It's mixed 50-50 and ends up an even medium gray. Takes 12-24 hours to cure to a very hard and adhesive patch. The problem is either your stuff is "Kwik," or you didn't mix it correctly. I suspect the former. What you describe is typical of 5-minute epoxies--they never "dry" enough to be be sanded.

    Yeah. One big gripe with the show is at the end, they hardly even show the finished car at all. Just an almost MTV-like montage of the thing.

    I did google him. Found a couple entries that said the 90 mil figure was bogus/a joke. I tend to believe that.

    I used to buy it at a local small hardware store that is also now defunct. Yes, it was originally called Pactra Odds N Ends, later they dropped the Pactra name. The line included a beautiful aluminum brush paint that I miss a lot. I haven't seen them for a decade or more. Tim Boyd famously used the stuff on a few of his hot rod builds.

    No way he's worth 90 mil, unless his granddaddy left him a couple diamond mines or something.

    Very, VERY nice! And you're right, this IS The Good One. Well done and model on!

    What scale is that? Is that 1/24? I've never seen one!

    '65 GTO

    Snake45 replied to Plowboy's topic in Model Cars

    Not bad at all. That Modelhaus front end (cloned from the original '65 GTO promo) really makes a big difference on this kit, doesn't it?

    I agree that a hacksaw blade or a cutoff wheel in a Dremel is the way to cut a diecast.
  17. Snake45
    Very, VERY nice! Don't think I've ever seen big lights mounted on the spreader bar like that. Well done and model on!
  18. Snake45
    Different and therefore interesting! Well done and model on!

    At one point I'd have been interested, but DeNiro has been such a jackwagon for the last couple years I have no further interest in seeing anything he's in.
  20. Snake45
    Me too. I think he might have been my first hero lost.
  21. Snake45
    Nice work all! Model on!

    I think those wheels also came in the original AMT '63 Vette coupe kit.
  23. Snake45
    A '68-'69 Vette roadster in some kind of metallic dark red, with Rally Wheels, nothing unusual about it except the '67 Stinger type hood like the one in the Revell Baldwin and Yenko kits. Never seen one of those before.
  24. Snake45
    Fabulous resto--really nice work! Well done and model on!
  25. Snake45
    Are 6-hole Rallys appropriate? There are a lot of those in parts boxes left over from AMT '72 Novas. If you need a set, let me know, I got a bunch of 'em.
