Hello all, my computer went kaput a couple of weeks ago and I lost all of my resources to people who made 1/16 decals, I think one was called "Kooky cat" decals and another was one called "Wild Stang" I think? Wild Stang had his home number and made some good looking decals also kooky kat had some diffrent ones like Don garlits funny car and wild 70s funny cars. Thanks and hope to hear from some one who can help. Thanks, Rick

Looking good there John, How did you cut out the window's? I just got the 1/16 Mustang at a swap meet a couple weeks ago and never did a resein car before, So I'll be a watching and a learning. also what will you be useing for the windshield? Thanks, Rick

Best thing to do is call in and ask, I placed an order on Thursday and she was real nice to talk to, or you could look at some generic decals and make it your own funny car, good luck on your Pinto. Rick

Thats one far out ride, man

Wow.... Talk about an oldie but a goodie, that turned out super, Thats another one they need to reissue, good luck on you next project, Rick

Hey Jeremy, I've heard of some people useing resin solder the same thickness as you want your cage, then use it to form what ever the shape you want for the roll cage then transer that to the plastic tubeing you will be useing for the rollcage. I'll soon will be building the Revell LAPD Pro Stock Camaro and if you look closley at the picture you will notice that it has Funny car type exhaust and not the headers that come with the kit, so I too will be useing the soider trick also to form the exhaust. And asking questions here is a hit and miss on all sites so dont get discourage, good luck on your project.

David, That turned out great, as a motor head such as myself it's good to see how these cars were when they first came off the dealer's floor, keep them coming, Rick

A true sleeper, no one would ever expected

Hey Steve, that turmed out super, gotta love that Tamiya paint looks a mile deep. What gloss did you use? Last year I found the MPC Auto Scope Barracuda pro street kit which I think is the same kit as the old Motown Missile with just different rims, also staurday I picked up another Sox and Martin cuda kit that I plan to use the chassis and motor for my motown missile car. Also if you can find the June 2016 Scale Auto issue they have a good article on upgrading the Revell Sox and Martin Cuda kit. Good luck on your Pro Stock kits, Also Ron is right about the Hot Rod magazine article, good reading. Rick

Wellcome back Bill I too live in Fla. and if your in the St.pete, Clearwater area there's a model car and swap meet going on this weekend I believe it's called the table top Cruiser and they always put on a good show I'm at work right now if you need any more info let me know and I when I get home I will put the rest of the info up good luck Rick

Thanks Dragline, I've tryed to remove that but for some reason I can't I guess I'll have to get one of the kids to remove that for me, Thanks again and happy modeling

Thank you to everybody for the answers, it was definitely a push in the right direction. Again, Thank you

Thank you Dragline, I'll try the flat black now as I'm working on it now, Also will look into Tamiya Dull coat as I take it is Acrylic. Again thank you, Rick

Hello, I'm in the middle on building Don Garlits Swamp Ray XXX and looks like the supercharger is a dull gold or copper color, What color should I use to get that affect? Also how do you get the decals to stick on the tires and get them to look right, can you dullcoat then, Thanks Rick

That turned out super, and I know she'll run as good as she looks. I remember when we had a local hobby store with a "Drag strip" and a buddy made a Little red wagon and would pull wheelies all the way down the quarter mile, looked real cool. good luck on your next project. Also do you know if Jeff has any more decals, I'm in a Drag car building mood right now and those decale look real nice, would like to buy a set if he still has the "program" to print those, Thanks, Rick

Hey Matt, That turned out super, Who doesn't spare Hemi laying around thier garage? Also dig that tunnel ram, old school. Good luck on your next project, Rick

Super job there Tony, What did you use to paint the rims, they look spot on. I too have this on my to do pile and after seeing yours it will get moved closer to the top now. Good luck on your next project. Rick

Looking good there Chris, What color red did you use? I picked one up the other day for $10.00 still sealed at a swap meet a while ago, so watching this build. Keep up the good work. Rick

John, that turned out sweet, looks like your doing what I'm doing and that is useing the left over tubing from the Revell 1/16 funny cars. Good luck on your next kit, Rick

Thanks everybody for your time and answers, it will help alot, Bill sorry about posting in the wrong fourm, but I thought that since my model is on the "work bench" oh well thats what I get for thinking. Again Thank you everybody, Rick

Thanks David, will be on the look out for one of those mug warmer's also is the purple power reuseable or a one time use? Thanks again, Rick

Thanks, yes Andy its the Don Garlits Dragster, I first used Tamiya TS-29 Simi Gl. Blk. and if dryed flat, then tryed Krylon supermaxx all in one and turned out OK, I might leave it, build it, and move on to the next one. I guess I need to use Tamiya TS-14 for my Gl. Blk. paint jobs. David how do I keep the Purple power warm? I do need this to strip the paint off a revell funny car body. Again Thanks for the reply's Rick

Hello all, I need to remove paint from a model and I've heard of people useing "Purple power" so I got a bottle of Purple power by Clean rite in a spraybottle and was wondering is this is the stuff used? I know to pour in a tub and let soak for a few hours, I just dont want to pull out a glob of plastic, Thank you for the help, Rick

I can see the "Hippie smoke" pouring out the windows now, Groovy job and good luck on your next project, Rick

Looks great, I too have this one in the stash what color's did you use? Hope your next project is not so bad, Thanks Rick
