  1. The only issue I see with this process is what will the direct sunlight and its associated heat do to a piece of styrene, i.e. a grille with Bondic clear headlight lenses?
  2. Let me guess, you are right-handed. ☺️
  3. Beautiful work on this, there are so many fine details to catch the eye. Really like the subtle depictions of surface rust and that seat cover is gorgeous. Are those dents on the upper right rear corner of the body, or is that a reflection? Just wondering the need for two shift levers.
  4. Might cool little rod. Just hope who ever rides with you has some good deodorant, that is a really confined cockpit.
  5. Just wondering if there has been a resurgence of love for the last year T-Birds? I have seen three out on the interstate and one in town over the past week - a black, one, red one, and turquoise one.
  6. Not really familiar with this engine. What are the three pipes coming out of the blower plenum for? Maybe it's for nitrous injection..tee hee hee.
  7. Very nice little diorama, really represents the picture well.
  8. That is one beautiful Corvette. As the others have mentioned the color really fits it well; the overall build is really clean.
  9. Definitely enjoying watching this build. I have one in my stash I am wanting to turn into a race car hauler. And yes, you do have the right idea on the shade difference in paint. It is quite noticeable under the window in the white area of this build, and if you look really closely you can also see a color shift in the gold area right in line with the bottom of the tire rack.
  10. Going into town yesterday, pulled onto the interstate behind this, not sure what was lurking under the canvas. Had a nice set of smoke-gray mags.
  11. Carl, I just came across this post and also wish to pass along my best wishes and prayers for strength to watch this unfold. I watched my 86 year old father pass from a three month long bout with kidney failure. Now I am watching my lovely wife of 38 years struggle with terminal bone and liver cancer. Life seems to be unfair, but when we consider what is to come, then the pain seems to be more bearable. GOD will get us through these ordeals.
  12. You might try contacting Steve Kohler, he also has some good resin stuff. http://www.resinrealm.net/Star/STARModels.html
  13. To send someone a PM, first click on the person's name above their avatar. When that page opens look at the top and there is a button that says "message". Click on that and it will open up a page similar to the one you get for a reply, except it asks for subject. Type the message in the box, hit submit. And that is all there is to it. When they reply you will get a red number on the envelope at the top of the forum page. Click on the envelope and it will open the message reply.
  14. But 'FORD' is not on the stripe on the Magnifier box art. OOPS, late post without reading all the way through.
  15. Very nice looking interior, well actually, very nice overall build. I was looking at those door panels and could not figure what the third handle on the front door was for, then it hit me -- roll-out vent windows. It's been a while since I sat in a car with those.
  16. Excellent Bronco with that just right "Don't mess with me" attitude. Love it.
  17. Sweet modified and I am sure there is some racing organization somewhere in this big old country that ran body styles very much like that one.
  18. Not at the price they are going for and only drivetrain available is a I-4 10 speed. I'm afraid Ford screwed the pooch on this one.
  19. Really like your Ranger. I have owned an 87 Supercab, a '94 Regular cab 4X4, and now have a 2010 Supercab Sport, all have been V-6 powered. Have loved every one of them. Thanks for sharing your build.
  20. Got to agree with the others. This is one mighty fine build. Would love to have something like that in my driveway.
  21. Excellent build and beautiful work with the paint. Those chassis pictures are pure art. Thanks for sharing.
  22. Peg board and hooks keep my stuff "organized"
  23. Looking good so far. Will be glad when you get it finished and move it to the finished forum.
  24. Stopped in the local gas station the other day to fill up my ranger and this was just pulling away from the other side pump. BTW there was a Ford 350 pulling the trailer, guess he wanted to make sure to get it home.
  25. Glad to hear of the improvement. Praying all goes well.
