  1. That's bitchin'! Well done. My only issue is it's RHD, but I know what a pain it is to convert.
  2. You did a fantastic job on this icon! I've thought about getting this kit, also the 1/12, but never have. I will also never drink that poison ever again! LOL
  3. I always wash everything before painting. I found that if chunks of baking soda were exposed, they dissolved out and created tiny holes that were easy to miss before painting. I also live in Arizona, where humidity is usually very low. But I'm still going to check old projects when I think of it.
  4. Embarrassed to say I got a full scale project two weeks ago. Will be lucky to get the VW done before Desert Scale Classic. Work is picking up. But who knows..... 1968 Chevy new eyes by Kurt Womack, on Flickr *edit* You can see why I'm anal about headlights.
  5. Oh wow, thanks for showing this. You remember what brand glue? I've done this a lot, so will check out old projects.
  6. Will dip way down to 34° tonight, 56° high forecast. But we have sun, but if you're on a north slope, forget about it. Checked on a customer's location today, to report that there is no way to get to their home close to being finished. Oak Knoll Village by Kurt Womack, on Flickr
  7. You mean where Hastings *used to be*, it got torn down and a new Circle K is there. I'm at 5,420 feet, the infamous Diamond Valley.
  8. No, I live about 5,500 feet, but we haven't had a real winter for years. LOL Sorry no, I just got it a couple weeks ago to replace a '69 that I sold. And it does have rust, just not much on the body panels.
  9. They have been good for me too. The reason I didn't get the original design gas pedal, the studs are rusted, and it wouldn't stay in place. Check out my license plate. More snow by Kurt Womack, on Flickr I'm sort of back to working on the model. I've had requests for copies of the cooler, so I made another one, with more correct lid corners, and will vacuum-form the handle.
  10. Prescott got dumped on. Flagstaff broke a record for amount in one day, and Snowbowl got 4.5' in this storm, total amount 22 feet! But it's Arizona, it will melt off. More snow by Kurt Womack, on Flickr
  11. Greenwitch Mean Time,
  12. I took some pictures of my '68, should anyway for the before I blow lots of money shots. The gauge sizes aren't that accurate, but the AMT isn't really either. The steering wheel is correct. I painted the glovebox of my previous '69 that way to, I think it looks balanced. I have what's left of the one piece bench seat.
  13. Which one? I tried his one for the first time, the result for the boots was good enough. But for doing body modifications, I'm not using it. The result is much like Sculpty clay that you bake, a bit soft. So let's see some Tamiya reviews.
  14. I'm trying to not be critical, really. I'm my own worst critic. If I ever get around to building one, would modify the hood. Finding the letters is the challenge, but custom vehicles usually shave that junk. The steering wheel is different too, only an issue if built stock.
  15. Didn't see this, or the other promo listed still, so someone didn't quibble. More power to them!
  16. Nice! In the '67-'72 Chevy forum I saw vintage photos of haulers with race cars. Look forward to seeing this done.
