Ah yes, I remember this BAD boy.... wacka wacka...... One of my favorites! For a Gordo.......... Jamie

HOOOOOO-LEEEEEEE-SH********!!!!!!!!!!!! That is beautiful!!! Fantastic work on the paint, engine, interior, everything! Absolutely beautiful.... Jamie

Yeah Jay, you slammed that puppy! Looks fantastic, for a change...just kidding.... That's cool, you have Jr's first ride, and one of his last ones for Bud. Very cool. It came out great! Jamie

AHHHH Much better.......... For those of you who haven't seen this in person, it's freakin' gorgeous! Wait till March in Parsippany... The paint is perfect and the details are perfect! Oh yeah, welcome aboard Jay! Jamie

Well hot ######! Dude, you just bought the kit on Friday!!!! That is amazing!!!!! The paint, like Dave said, is flawless....And just the right amount of detail is added. Hint: Post the 8.........please. FANTASTIC BUDDY! Ya gotta love the XM decal! Jamie Charlie Murphy!!!!!!!!

Oh Dave, Dave, Dave............ Just when I thought that you out-did yourself on the 16 million other incredible builds you've done, you go and do THIS!!!!! The exhaust, suspension, interior, EVERYTHING looks immaculate!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU..........You da man. I guess it looks ok.... B) On to the finished section! Jamie

Looks great! You should have seen the one Dave "Thid" did a while ago! Nice build! Jamie

The suspension is SICK Dave! I don't know how you do it man.........I especially like the front shocks! It looks like they're really bolted on there. As always, tremendous work..... Jamie

You're right Dave, there's only a couple of us!! Decals look great Wayne! It's coming together nicely! Will this be a "wheels off" build? I noticed you drilled out the lug nuts..... Jamie

Looks awesome Dave! Is that a kit carb you modified, or a resin piece? The engine sits beautifully in there. I NEED MORE! Jamie

Same here....you can also use Testors Model Master - Chrysler Yellow '98. It's Lacquer, so it should go on pretty nice. If I remember correctly, it was a little darker than "normal" yellow. But all you have to do is look at the cap and eyeball it....... If you can't find that, the regular Testors should work...... Hope this helps. Jamie

Well, as a NASCAR builder, I go for the best paint job possible. As a couple of members here know, I also like to weather some of my cars, which really isn't that hard to do. I agree that the cars (mainly the older ones) don't have showroom paintjobs, but in NASCAR the cars recently have had amazing paint. I personally don't have easy access to 2-part clear, so 99% of the time I'm using Tamiya clear, which is ok, but it's not going to look pristene. I built a Buick a little while ago and had a buddy shoot some 2-part clear on it, and it looked like a mirror. If you have any questions as far as weathering goes, let me know. I have a few tricks up my sleeve...... Basically, I try to get the best paint possible, unless the car's really banged up, like a car from Days of Thunder! Hope this helps. Jamie

I know! Man I'd love to see this at the NNL East. WINK WINK, NUDGE NUDGE...........

Well well well, look who's been a busy beaver!!!!!!!!!!!! The ignition plate looks awesome Dave! I'm glad to see you back on this puppy! You're a BEAST! Jamie

Very cool idea Olle! I'll have to try that next time as well........... "Welcome aboard "BAD" Buddy!!!" Thanks Dave...I see a few names that I remember as well.....

Goo Gone.......interesting........I'll have to pick some up for next time. But I did try the accelerator and it worked! Actually I tried using the tape again, but it was just too sticky, even when I "toned" it down a notch. Then I used the accelerator and it worked. It took off a little bit of paint off the roof, but it's nothing I can't fix. Again, thanks guys, I appreciate the help!!!!!!!! Jamie

Yes, I do......it won't ruin the paint that's already on there?? Very cool....... Thanks David. And thanks to everyone that chimed in!!!!! I'm going to tackle the beast right after I get done typing this.....

Thank You, Thank You! I will be trying both methods tonight...I'll let you know how I made out. I appreciate it! Again, thanks for the ideas! Jamie

Hi all, long time listener, first time caller....... Last night I masked off the bottom of my Benny Parsons Monte Carlo so I could shoot the gold. Everything went peachy, except the fact that there is a TON of residue left from the masking tape. I didn't realize that I had used the wrong tape! (One month old babies will do that to you) This stuff is STICKY. Anyway, my question is, how do I get this ###### off? I've used water, rubbing alcohol, my fingers.... I already painted the white on the car, so I can't use anything harsh because it might eat the paint.......ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED! I just want to get this one done so I can start on some other projects I have lined up. Thanks Guys, Jamie
