  1. Off Ebay! Had to have it. Wallet said "no". Told it to shut it's Commie mouth and bought it anyways!
  2. very nice. clean. Tiger doesn't to be "dressed up" any. Good job!
  3. Old one from 1980s-1990s. Before internet and aftermarket parts . Total box stock.
  4. Got to admit, the trunk key is one of the best ideas I've ever seen! Kudos!
  5. They would look good on a NASCAR build, huh?
  6. Got this off Ebay in an auction. Didn't think I'd get for what I bid, but there it is!
  7. That's ok. I'm just trying different things. I hope to , one day, get to the point of making it 1:1 correct. Right now , it's just getting use to everything
  8. That's what I would want it for. Make sure everything is right before final assembly/paint. Thanks!
  9. Heard that you can use white glue, (Elmers), as a temporary holder. Anybody try this? Work good? leave any residue? Thoughts?
  10. Snake, Great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share. I appreciate it.
  11. The stem wire is on the "soft" side. Not like solder, or near as stiff as a paper clip. They're hard to work with. I forgot to mention, you can use a pair of needle-nose pliers to bend with, just takes practice to get the loops right. I know, I'm still trying to get them right
  12. I'm not trying to be "factory " correct. Just hinging doors and trunks. Maybe , later, when I get better , I can try to male them 1:1. Right now I'm just building and learning. Seen your work Bill, I'm no where near your ability at this time, but, then again, I just got back into the hobby about a year ago. Trying different things, paints, airbrushes, techniques. Got along way to go , just sharing what I have learned because it was asked of me
  13. Had to post this. Fireball carburetors compared to the ones in the kits. Amazing
  14. Looks great, but I lose clarity by the time I get to the final paint coat. Is this the way it should look?
  15. Didn't know it will stick that good. I will give it a try. SO, I will use bare metal foil, apply it before paint and clean it up between coats! I really appreciate all the help. The biggest thing to me when building a model, is the scripts. I've seen so many that were just amazing and wanted to know how to do it. You paint over them they become glops. This was the big thing for me. To be able to do it right. Will keep ya'll posted!
  16. How do you do the scripts? Am going to follow this one
  17. Thanks for the reply. What do you use to glue the foil down?
  18. Also read where one person glues the foil to the car , cuts out what he wants and cleans it after primer/ paint.?. Thoughts???
  19. Ok, got this far. This is the "Thunderbird" and Thunderbird emblem on the front fender of a 1962 Thunderturd. What do I fill it in with? Then do I cut it out and glue it to the body after it is painted> What I "CA"? Help a fella out
  20. Don't remember, Bought it back in the 80s or 90s. If you got it, build it and enjoy it. You could die tomorrow and it will end up in a yard sale, lol. Really. I've got mine numbered and going to build them as I get to them. Actually, I'm building them in "steps" That's why this is #3. I'm actually working on 5 right now. Rotating them as I go. that way I work on a different one each time. There will be a bunch more by the time I finish #1, A re-build on a 1970 Dodge Challenger
