painting chromed (stripped) NASCAR wheels
TarheelRick replied to fiatboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Depends on the team and the specific era. Some teams painted them to either match or contrast the car color. I don't think I would use an aluminum, but then it is your build, so use whatever looks right to you. -
Days of Thunder Sequel Maybe
TarheelRick replied to Leo64's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Will Nicole Kidman be his main squeeze? I really liked her in DoT. -
That is one bad-a$$ gasser. That short wheelbase and big engine would make this a handful. Really like the overall build. Did you build the headers or are they from a kit?

Alright, someone not afraid to modify an untouchable Ferrari. Don't see many, if any, customized/modified Ferraris, glad to see one. And this one came out quite well. Nice paint work and bodywork to put those two completely opposite bodies together. I like it.

Hilux Surf Liftup
TarheelRick replied to Chuckyg1's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice-looking rig; aggressive but not over the top. -
Absolutely gorgeous. Fantastically smooth paint, excellent interior color - no matter whether the exterior is blue of black. Extremely nice clean build, even the detail painted one-piece chassis.
-
Very beautiful fat-fender FORD; that is some serious blue - love it.
-
Really digging this build. You have a good eye for design elements. Only change I would make is the flat inside of the rear fenders. All the rest of the body is round and smooth and the rear fenders should be also. Can't wait to see the bondo dust start flying.

Chassis scratch building frame table/jig
TarheelRick replied to BKIN10SECS's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I saw a picture in a 1:1 magazine of a Tognotti chassis, at least that was what the advertisement called it. Fairly simple to build, but rather limited in use; primarily hot rods and old style short track cars. I do believe it could be modified a bit to be used in other builds. -
Going to be a nice, believable build. With that paint job I don't know whether to take him into the wall or salute him.
-
Very nice work.

Got to find me one of those MPC wagons so I can build a model of my '80 Runabout. One of my parts cars has some of the Starsky & Hutch paint scheme. Since this picture was made I have added the chrome grille and headlight buckets. It is now at the upholstery shop getting the headliner and front seats redone.

Custom 60's Chevy Truck
TarheelRick replied to customsrus's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I must say you are taking this build to the upper levels. Very impressive work throughout. Especially like the way you did the hood hinge, it gives me some ideas on how to do one on a custom I have in progress. -
Just talked with a lady concerning the Foxtoberfest scheduled for Oct 26. The model show will be inside a tent. From what I could gather vendors will be outside under their own canopy/tents, must furnish own tables and chairs, and a 10X10 spot is $200 - probably want be very many model vendors there. Also, when I asked about the model show, she said it is specifically for Fox models. I will probably run down there to check out the car corral and see if any of the 1:1 vendors can turn me on to some Pinto parts. She did say I could come to Mooresville on Friday the 25th, pay the entry fee, and set up a tent inside there to sell models. Can't do that, Friday is football night, our team is playing away, and I am driving the cheerleader bus.

Something I learned from Captain Kangaroo many, many years ago still sticks with me today: Always say please and thank you.
