Very nice, very clean work! Congratulations on fulfilling a dream!

Very cool! I too once built a model inspired by a car in CarToons or Hot Rod Cartoons. I think I kept the issue. I WISH I'd kept all of them I had.

Oh absolutely. The mojo comes and goes. I just finished one Sunday (that I started around 1992) and that gave me the mental boost I needed to finish off two more yesterday. Now I gotta find something else I can kick through the goalposts while I'm on a roll.

No no no no nope nope nuh-uh. NOT!

Great feeling isn't it! I took off for weather yesterday and finished off TWO that have been parked on my workbench shooting me dirty looks for over a year now. NEXT!

I think that was Capricorn One. Starring some guy named Orenthal Simpson.

Exactly my reaction too. I heard "Radar Rider" in my head the instant I saw those pics!

Definitely Day 2! Very cool!

I got it from another member here. I think it might have been Madhorseman, who posted earlier in the thread.

Where did you find a '65 Falcon hood? Does someone have it in resin? I need one. Have a restorable glue bomb funny car that's only missing the hood.

Very nice!

Easy-Off is basically the same thing as Drano, a drain cleaner/unclogger. I've always assumed that Drano was safe to use in a drain, but hey, I guess I COULD be wrong.....

Looking very good! You are inspiring me to dig mine out and do it!

Me too. Dad was always a hoot.

I remember it very well. I was a deputy sheriff at the time, working the county jail. I was home when the snow hit, luckily. The guys who were working at the time got stuck there. After a couple days the department was desperate. They were able to get a couple cars on the road and were able to come around and pick up a few of us who were able to hike out to a main road. When we got to work we pulled a couple 16 hour days until things got back to somewhat normal. I still have a letter of commendation for coming in and serving during the "crisis."

Looks great! I hope mine looks that good when I get around to it!

Very very nice, especially for a rebuild. Ya done good! Model on!

Very nice, very clean build!

It reminds me of '71-'72 War Bonnet Yellow.

I only use it as a last resort. For enamels I use Easy Off oven cleaner, and for lacquers I use rubbing alcohol. I've only had one model that required the brake fluid.

Something in a bright salmon/coral shade--a pinkish orange, or orangish pink?

This video has been removed. Do you know the name of the band so I can try to find it again somewhere else?

Very, VERY clean build. Nicely done. Model on!

Extremely nice! I like it a lot!

That's a fine, fine looking model, and I never would have guessed it's polished plastic--which is of course the real test. Get some Wright's Silver Cream and you can toss both the Tamiya Coarse AND the Novus #7.
