  1. The color & texture of the boot looks so real I want to touch & feel it! How did you achieve the two tone the carpet? It looks fantastic! I have a project that really needs a salt & pepper (silver-grey & black) carpet...
  2. Very nice indeed! I'm curious as to the attachments mounted to the cowl's side. Mirrors? (doesn't look mirror face.) Lights?
  3. Looking good! I did like the blue wheels, tho
  4. Very interesting...
  5. You done good!
  6. I'd be "Holden" on to that one!?
  7. Not much more that I could that hasn't been said except me like it too!
  8. Good looking MoPar!
  9. I have to agree its a great color - and a clean build too!
  10. Very nice! Interior is fantastic! Could you post pics with the hood shut?
  11. Very convincing build!
  12. I suppose I did jump the gun a little. I didn't take into account that the last issue of SA has just been released. I had given up on the magazine a few years ago & only follow it thru the MCM forums.
  13. FSM sent me an email declaring "Its a Bearcat Build-off!" Did some one say Stutz? No, not at FSM, not that I could tell. Just airplanes. The only car on the cover is a battle damaged VW. Not very encouraging?
  14. Now why didn't I think of that!?! ? DUH!?
  15. Now why didn't I think of that!?! ?DUH!
  16. That may work if you can remove all the oily residue, however the bend in the straw is what slows the airborne paint allowing a manageable flow out the other end. Also most paint nozzles will not accept the WD 40 straw so you would have to switch the nozzle, providing its compatible with the paint can.
  17. I have always used a bendy straw to decant paint. Its attached with a bit of Silly Putty although tape or other materials may also work. Using this method you decant only the amount you need. You will still have to let it gas out. I have always used lacquer thinner to thin Rust-oleum. I have also used it straight out of the can.
  18. I consider these a 5 window cabs, like a 3 window vs. a 5 window deuce coupe.
  19. I thought there was a snap version w/the 3 window cab. Am I wrong?
  20. Cool! I started a Daytona over 20 yrs ago. Seeing yours makes me want to pull it out & finish it.
  21. I, too, am not surprised. I canceled years ago as it got thinner and I discovered this web site.? (If I recall correctly the number of issues per year was reduced at some point from 8 to 6[?]) The Contest Cars was good, but they needed two views (3/4 front & rear [or detail] ) of at least some of the subjects. It was puzzling that they showed only a front view of a model while the caption would rave about the scratch built taillight treatment, engine bay detail or some other feature not visible in the pic.?
