Chevy II

I am trying to use a couple of tires from parts stash. One is nice and pliable, but one is pretty stiff. Is there anyway I can soften this tire?

Nice 57 Cameo. What color paint is that?

I have a jar of Mr Surfacer 500 that is still about 1/4 full, but has thickened up a little. Originally it was consistence of maybe peanut butter, but now it is more like drywall putty. Still can spread it on a surface, but doesn't flow like it did. Can I add a couple of drops of thinner to it without ruining what I have.

OMG these are incredible examples of weathering.

Just painted the 50 Ford F1 with a Model Masters Acrylic paint and planning to clear it using the Testors Extreme Lacquer Wet Look Clear. Question is how long should I wait to shoot the clear on? On a side note, I didn't look at the Model Masters paint before I thinned it with Lacquer thinner. Painted it just like a do with my enamel paints. It seems to have laid down OK, then I read on the bottle Water Wash-up. Thinking I should have thinned it with washer fluid or alcohol. Any thoughts on any problems I might end up with? Thanks for the help.

Neat idea, what wire are you using?

Holy cow, does that even have fluid in those lines? That is incredible detail......

Revell '50 Ford F-1 setting on Foose pickup frame, wheels and tires. Finally got it setting where I like it. Not sure about color yet, was thinking maybe stock green with some weathering, but I've never done the weathering thing so I got'ta think about that.

Looks like going to be a great build.

I know you’re supposed to scrape painted surfaces before gluing them, but what about when you are unable to scrape a part before attaching it. I have been using ca glue to attach painted pieces. Haven’t had a big problem so far, but just read an article that said never use super glue to attach painted pieces without scraping the paint from mating surfaces first. What are others doing?

Really like this car. How did you get it so low.

Just started build of the AMT White-Freightliner kit. The windshield & door windows are a single piece. Has anyone ever cut this piece to open up the door glass leaving only the windshield & wing windows remain? This would make it easier to look inside at the interior?

Need to follow this build.

Really like full fendered cars

Tom, where did you get the wheels on the orange sedan & Vicky?

Really liking what happening here…

How do you guys old your models together when you’re mocking them up?

Love the old stock cars. This reminds me of a car my neighbor had when I was just a kid. Great memories.

Me thinks the long bed is better with the cab being that size.

Tons of awesome builds here. Rodney your Bach's Body Shop Sedan is totally amazing. Thanks for the pictures showing your build. I found a picture of that car while searching the internet for 32 builds and had to copy it to my desk top. Was really excited to find this post.

Some really nice builds.

Are you sure those are pictures of a model. Incredible build.

Really nice build. I too am waiting for a couple of the new roadster kits. Hopefully soon.

I really like this truck. Looks like a great build. I like everything about what you've done.

Are the holder attachments soft or hard plastic? Do they mark the paint when you tighten them down?
