Cool subject, have not seen this model before, the manufacture? Very clean build, silver paint looks good, what did you use?

Jr., famous for

Just for everyone's amusement, my dad owned this pre-WW2 "rat rod". Check out the seat, no seatbelts, cage, nothing. So when we reminisce about our rides, imagine back then!

I think of limousines when I see that. ? Thank you. Appreciate it, meanwhile you have how many going at once? ? Engine is basically done. I wanted to finish something ? before diving into the other door. I'm debating about doing plug wires, the twin distributors have no plug things sticking up like your normal V8, would be easy to glue on sideways, but could end up looking goobered on. I also noticed the air cleaner covers the top valve cover completely. All the parts fit well, but no clearance between the front components. I think this project deserves the detail. I want to put in the yellow tubing, battery cables, washer bag, spec plates, heater hoses, maybe hose clamps, and steering shaft and box if I can figure that out. It's all a maybe. ?

I've hated the tips too. My last pen, the paint was not mixed well, never got it to look as good as the first pen.

It's a nice color. Thanks.

Thank you, consider it a trade. ? Wanted to get some of the parts painted, been plugging away slowly, so I wouldn't get permanent fingerprints. The brake disks were painted with Alclad steel, I really like that paint. Masked with Scotch tape, then airbrushed gold, then black. I don't really believe the instructions, with "metallic black" for the valve covers, air filter, springs, and exhaust tips. I know the real car valve covers are crinkle flat black, so painted semi-gloss black, then low pressure dribble sprayed flat black, then when I did the springs with a mixture of s-g black with drops of steel did more dribble spray. Will judge later when everything is assembled. Started on painting the tools from the Fujimi Daytona kit that I did last century.

when PhotoShop can

Always had a soft spot for those! VW had an ad campaign, bring in the 'coupon' and get a no pressure test drive. Had a '77 Honda Civic CVCC at the time. I still remember the exhaust note, and acceleration. Later I traded another of my cars for a '91 Jetta GLi, which was fun, until the timing chain broke. Nice job on these. Now I want to find a kit. ?

Not yet, be patient master. Worked on two pet peeve things, molded on pedals (at least it has pedals!) and window cranks. First thing was to remove the pedals, started with the Dremel, then used some new tools that are scrapers, so glad I discovered those! Before: Sheet styrene, photo-etch Tamiya saw, steel ruler and used the caliper handle for a guide, scraped grooves. I try to take pictures of the tools used. Temporary glued in with Tacky glue, not only the pedals but the foot rest thing, like what is with that anyway? Window crank, carefully cut off, almost lost it when it practically broke off! I just sawed under the latch handle. Decided not to make a working trunk latch, used two tiny magnets. I searched for, took screenshots, and am going to print info plates, such as serial number, firing order, oil, air filter for the engine bay. Then I have to do the drivers door.

That nail polish on the Bimmer? Nice selection and variety, the Tyrell wannabe is veddy interesting.

First off, define "grass". ? A golf course has different grades of grass. You want a natural random grass. It's the wrong time of year to look around outside, but I hit the jackpot one year at the right time and found an awesome selection. To be convincing, buying railroad grass will look fake. My 2 cents.

I will PM you.

You beat me to it! ? DITTO!

with knappy rollers

Rats, thought I still had the seats from the '87 Honda, *poof*. I do have these Ferrari 360 Modena seats, which I used part of a headrest for scratch-building the Mongrel. It would take some work to remove both, and make separate headrests, and add backs.

that look painted

Perfection takes time. ? You should try a beater just for fun.

made with straws

Amazing work on all. Really like the license plate. ?
