  1. I use "Purple Power" from WalMart. It's right at $5.00 a gallon. I use two gallons in a Home Depot bucket. I leave it in the corner of my garage, (detached). I got a collard er, from WalMart, Bent the ends of 2 "Eye" bolts from Home Depot to use as handles. A tea leaf ball, also from WalMart, added a chain from Home depot. Cut a slot in the side of the bucket to hold the Tea Ball, (for small parts). Found a 5 gallon bucket strainer online. i strain the bucket every now and then to clean out the "garbage" in the bottom NOTE: apparently Purple Power goes bad after about a year. Won't strip anything now. Might try that "Super Clean" ya'll are talking about
  2. Gentlemen, Thank You. This poor thing has been painted so many times I just give up on it. (losing detail). Will buy ne a new one, but am staying away from rattle cans, de-canning, an enamels altogether. Going to stick with lacquers, and acrylics. Going to try "Gravity " paints. Look good and come pre-mixed. See how that goes
  3. Anybody know why my paint job did this? It was de-canned Testor's "Plum Crazy" enamel. It's turning grey in areas? What went wrong? it was primer ed with Tamyia grey primer, lightly sanded with 600 paper. Can it be saved? was going to clear it in a couple of days.
  4. Thank you gentlemen. Alot of work went into it. Learned alot for the next one. Like the saying I stoled from one of the posters here here, I put over my work desk, " Each Kit I Build Is Really Only Practice For The Next One". I'll get better! Love the colors you can get with nail polish. The pictures don't do it justice, I assure you.

  6. WOW! Unbelievable! Love it!
  7. He was an underdog like Alan Kuwicki but I always pulled for him. Thats why i built his car
  8. Hey, look what I dug out the closet! Yup, built it back in 1991. Used a Mark Martin Thunderbird. Don't even remember where I got the decals from. Paint is Tru-Color. No internet back then, had to use pictures from "Winston Cup Scene" Magazine and watching the races to get paint scheme .
  9. The Detail Master buckles slots are just too small for anything to fit through. The "added plastic" would resolve the "thin" of the buckles. Just a pain to work with. Would like to hear about alternates to Detail Master that would work
  10. Ok, there's got to be a good way to make seat belts and buckles other than Detail Masters! Help?!
  11. just "wow"
  12. Really? I got all three. Didn't think they could do that good. Looks amazing
  13. #5 got destroyed. Will have to find another "Muscle City" 1070 Firebird.
  14. Great detail, as always with your builds
  15. Nice. How'd you do the re-chroming on the bumpers, if you don't mind me asking
  16. Fitting body to frame
  17. Liking this build. Will be watching
  18. Yup! retired, bored, and slowly going crazy.......
  19. Ok, think I got it this time. Let it gas out a couple of days, apply decals and clear!
