Got an email from Michael's this morning offering me a $5 reward, don't know why, I haven't shopped there in over a year. Anyway, I decided to look through their model section. For some reason the second time I went through the "Craft & Hobbies" section they showed some different models than the first time. However, that is not what caught my attention, it was this: In-Store Only Testors® Gloss Enamel Spray (152) $7.99 SAVE 40% ON EVERY REGULAR PRICE PURCHASE WITH CODE CYBER40 Online only Store Pickup - Unavailable Ship to Me - Unavailable Same Day Delivery-Unavailable Makes me wonder how you get this paint. It is 'in-store only', yet it is unavailable for store pickup and shipping is unavailable. Most likely the store is out of stock, that is why it is unavailable for pickup. But the way this ad is set-up it is rather confusing. And I can save 40% using a special code for online only.

Hope you got your tetanus shots up to date. That is some exceptional weathering work. Beautiful overall build.

Very nice looking T-Bird, stance looks right on. Just wonder what may have been if Earnhardt had stuck with Ford and joined forces with Yates, Bud Moore, or maybe Roush.

Beautiful Galaxie, especially like the two-tone paint. Would probably be on the floor of a coliseum at the local ISCA show. Got plans for a full custom with mine using the custom parts from an original issue '64 Galaxie.

Very well done, overall clean build. 1/32 kits are a lot of fun to work with. I have converted the 69 Mach 1 Mustang into a dirt track racer being hauled on a Mack Pumper firetruck converted to a tilting flatbed and the 55 Chevy into a tube front axled Gasser. Have several static models of 1/32 slot cars from my younger days: Ferraris, Porsche, Lotus, and Lola.

Excellent GTO build. Really like the stance and the interior is one beautiful piece of artistry.

Very nice looking modified. Never been to Caraway, but have watched them at "the Madhouse" a couple of times. Super clean build. Any tips on how you did the tire treads to make them look well raced?

The Dixie Twister tribute is still on the circuit and very active. This picture was taken at the SEGA event at Farmington Dragstrip, NC in 2022. It was also at the North Wilkesboro Dragstrip, NC in 2023.

Acrylic fingernail filler works really well, dries hard and doesn't shrink. However, it has a pungent odor, very difficult to sand, and reacts rather weirdly in a dehydrator. I have used it quite regularly on my builds, especially when filling a butt type joint. Once dried, and it dries rather quickly (minutes), it is stronger than the surrounding styrene, so you do not have to worry about a seam coming open while sanding.

Don't understand the issue, looks like a 50 Coupe DeVille to me. All joking aside, that is one interesting looking model. Also like the looks of the 56 SD on your bench.

Looks to me as if you handled the kit issues very well. That is one beautiful Camaro (from a hardcore Mustang fan).

You are doing some beautiful work on a fine-looking hot rod. I really like the way you did those wheels, will look really fine with the subtle gray of the body, yellow flames and engine. Keep those updates coming.

Exceptionally nice combination and well thought out concepts. Only problem I notice is it would be extremely difficult to fish out of that boat.

This is an absolutely lovely build, some very nice detail work. Love Graham's mustache.

Went to a local Cruise-In yesterday, very small turnout, weather was kind of iffy. Anyway saw this one. Owner said he scratchbuilt it during the COVID lockdown, he started with a bare chassis. He came driving in wearing racing goggles, a leather helmet, and white period racing coveralls.

Ahh yeah, memories from days gone by. All the hobby shops around me have been history for several years.

Very beautiful build. I really like this style Porsche race and you have done a great job with it. Also welcome to the forum.

As they said, very nice looking MOPAR. Also like the background. BTW, what happened to the 'sweetie' buying a Coke in the second picture?

I know what you mean, my holy grail is a '65 Chevelle SS. Had one with a 283 4-speed, loved that car. Unfortunately, one night after consuming some adult beverages I cleared out three fence posts and a bunch of barbed wire. Mostly superficial body damage, I towed it home and planned on building it into a Modified Production or Stock class car. However, my Dad sold it while I was overseas. It was officially his car, he signed the loan and title.

Exceptional work on this Mustang. Your love for this machine is obvious in the amount of detail you have put into it. I've always wanted a Mustang, the closest I've got is my 1980 Pinto.?

Is it by chance molded in pink styrene?

I connect my phone to the computer with a cable, download the photos, then post them to the forum as Tim explained.

Loved the SHO. You have done a very impressive job rebuilding this one, not only in redoing the kit but also in the overall concept of the build.

Beautiful old truck. Really like the way you made the oversized tires fit under the fenders and your weathering is superb. Great build.

Beautiful pair of Westfalias, especially like the T-2. Mine was a '72, blue with a white top. Have kicked myself in the posterior several times for getting rid of it. Do you have any interior shots?
