The Cops where I work took one look at these and immediately wanted Tahoes. the bad flavor from previous Taurus experiment still lingers.Whatever they get I am sure I will be kept busy. so tear em up boys.

Nice Gregg, To bad they probably wont get built. LOL

The blacken it process works better on small stuff, I dont know how it would react to the Solder,Painting the hedders might be a better way to go, on those.

Hey Chris, I could help you out with this. I have a chemical solution called "Blackenit" that darkens brass and nickel, If you want to remove those studs just apply a little bit of heat from a soldering Iron. They will come right out and then we could darken them its really fast and is very durable.

I wanted to ask if anyone has tried Citadel brand skull white primer as an alternative for Tamiya. I saw some at the War gaming store next to the,Video Gaming store, that was close to the Frozen yogurt store in my Nieghborhood. The War stuff is mostly resin and metal parts, and I was curious. if anyone has used this stuff on regular old plastic.

I like the rear stance, Very true to the pictures I have seen. I wish Revell would Re-do the front wheels and make them a little Narrower. the last picture on this page is absolutely Killer IMHO.

very nice I like it, what color was used?

Excellent build It would be so cool if you could find an old barn and get some pictures of it in the backround

Hey Chris in this picture it appears to have a Bead along the bottom just above the two bottom fasteners. I dont think its a shadow, maybe a closer look on that detail

I would like some Pics of a Chevy with a Magneto. Basiaclly to see what direction they are usually facing, and how the wires are routed. If anybody has some please can you post them. I have tried google with nt a lot of good ones there.

Whats with the Dirty Donnie Van, May not be appropiate for younger children? I still like both of them I have been wanting the chevy van for a while now.

why not the mustang 2 style front end from the revell 37 ford

Natural gas is widely popular in Canada. It has been used here in Phoenix mainly on Transit busses, Taxi cabs, and City vehicles. CNG is a high maintenance item the high demands placed on the ignition system causes a need for more frequent Tune ups. The CNG stations themselves have pumps that have to be rebuilt or replaced on average every 3 years not including normal maintenance. it became popular here Partly because we are in a Valley. The pollution from Exhaust and dirt and dust just lingers here causing upper respitory problems and a Brown cloud. Manufacturer's of CNG conversion Kits such as GFI,MOGAS,TECHNOCARB,and EMPCO. can supply conversion kits but have not figured a way to supply Parts.when you get a part the markup is usually very high we have seen as much as 3 times what the original manufacturer sold it for. those cost and maintenance of one of these vehicle's is just to much for the Average person around here can stand to pay. We are just hard working people here the Politicians have all the Money. for s a hort time here early on We had a Politician who proposed tax incentives for people who bought CNG cars and you could have had a Station plumbed in at your house with a compressor and all Slow Fill is what they call it. it would emit gas fumes and you had to have it outdoors. (you cant park one of these in a Garage)! I will say that of all of the systems I have been around definately the GM based Empco system was by far the most trouble free.

I have used the Duplicolor scratch filling primer with no trouble at all. I prefer Plasticote t=235 primer but only a few auto parts stores have it and it's a far drive to get just that.

Funny thing, Me and a few Friend's at work were just talking about the drags this weekend and the topic of John Force, came up about what a really nice guy He is to his fans.

Hi Chris, It was great meeting you and seeing this cool model your building. at last saturdays swap meet.I wish I would have had more time to visit with you and ask more questions. However I was drooling so badly. that I had to step away quickly.It is going to be Immaculate when you finish it. See at the contest table Gabriel

Chris,dont rush anything we all get the picture. Everyone realizes quality work takes time to be done right.

Good progress so far John. Pancho would be honored to be shot at riding in that.You should do a backround picture when your done with the car parked in front of the Gadsden hotel in Douglas Arizona.LOL

Chris bring it to the Swapmeet there are plenty of others who would like to see the Model. and all the modifications you have made.

i tryed doing metal flake paint job I think it worked! That is some really convincing flake.

I will be there too I got a reprieve from moving for a short time.

However long it is, It seems like FOREVER and even longer for my Wife, Who would like me to clear all the space these little boxes take up.

How come I dont feel any Different?
