I have to agree!

I didn't know Luke. I hope my response to this thread didn't offend anyone who knew him. I certainly meant no disrespect.

Distracted or attracted? ??? (Me too!)

Well done! A nice looking & very interesting model. Are the brass parts plated?

Well its a Photobucket not a rust bucket! so...

I can't wait to see it on the track!?

Its GR-RRReat!

Nice clean build! great color choice!

Great looking truck!

Sharp looking pick up! I like the stance.

The green paint is perfect!

Cool looking ride!

I have only used Bleach White on resin, however I recently purchased the Por 15 for 1:1 project & may give it try as I have plenty left over. Dawn dishwashing liquid (or the Walmart equivalent) is my go to. The blue stuff. Don't use the the stuff with hand softening conditioners, just pure soap. I wash all opaque & unplated parts before I start any sanding or clean up & then again before I prime.

Mine too. 1965 or '66. Albuquerque NM. Ian Whitcomb was the opening act. I remember Mark Lindsey walking onto the "barricade" that was placed in front of the stage several times during the show, fluanting his ponytail. Ian Whitcomb died this past April.

What I said! It is concentrated so a little goes a long way.

Me neither.?

Looks so cool!

You are correct, sir!

Modelhaus has always recommended Bleechwite, however I asked them about Super Clean, that they also recommend. They said it will work but would turn the resin purple. They also recommended Marine Clean, a Por 15 product now labeled Por 15 Cleaner/Degreaser. Since you apparently had issues with the purple cleaners, I would try to avoid them or test a scrap piece before immersing the whole kit in the "purple pond".

Nicely done. Great subject matter!

I really like the flames too. While horizontal flames are suppose to make a car look like its moving even when its standing still, yours would give the opposite impression. I can hear all the losers crying at the drag strip now, "He passed me as if he was standing still! ?

Thanks, Tom

I too like the colors.

Thanks. I thought maybe flocking... ?

Thanks for the response. I don't ever recall seeing that style turn signal, although it reminds me of the Citroens that had similar turn signal arms that were built into the B pillars.
