  9. A stock driveshaft and some tubing along with my trusty Zona.....TA DA!!! blackwash the u joints polish or paint the tube.......
  10. that is because of the rear "helper" springs.. Ken Kitchen addressed this in his build in MCM issue #138 jan 2009 pg 39 you do have that issue??? and Model Expo has both kits at great prices now the L700, trailer , and '40 ford at $20. off and Red Wagon at $10.99 ...(offer W371)

  12. In order to brush properly the paint must be the right % of paint and thinner(or reducer and thinner) when mixed correctly the paint is like milk...swirl milk in a glass and see how it flows back to the bottom... thats what you want for airbrushing....and check your needle and psi. It all counts I recomend Bob Downies airbrush book...Donn Yost also has a killer DVD!!
  13. Morning George...is Harry up yet????
  14. Add one more TALENTED FREAK SHOW... never cared for him but Thrillar is still the #1 selling pop album of all time.....
  15. WOW !!!!!! I think that this is one of the simplest, most logical and well written paint tips I have ever seen here or elsewhere. I have done the same steps as you, and as I refined my techniques the results speak for themselves! I just like to "delay " the final polish till everything is rockhard. As I live in a tropical area ( I get cold at 65f) I'm used to shooting in warm temp...but love my dehydrator!! THANKS DAVE!!!!
  16. I do this for tu tones...all paints are lacquers with a 15 min window..... Prep sand and clean the body, spray your base white LET IT DRY!!!!!! After its dry, mask for your stripes, shoot a thin coat of CLEAR...Then shoot your black stripes....let dry for a while and pull your tape off...back over itself...then shoot your clear and now let it dry....polish next week.....Enjoy!!!!!
  17. Or make a voltage regulator and use a thermometer....
  18. Thats cause it was a 10 day build.....lighten up Bill.....Killer build...keep it coming!!!
  19. One of the tricks they also use is a slider yoke to prevent bind I don't know either Bob, but it reminds me of buddys that have 4X4 trucks...lets see how much I spend on the truck for a weekend of fun!!!
  20. I agree....most of the MM lacquers are thick...vs Tamiya...I've worked with both of them (Diamond Dust is a favorite basecoat) and I prefer Tamiya, but MM is $$$ better! I usually clear with the color and love my TS13!!
  21. Good Call Marc!!! thanks for your name!!
  22. It has nothing to do with the box.....GREAT LIGHTING!!!!!!
  23. or cowl lights from a few others.........
  24. I think that says it all............
  25. If the bags are done correctly and the right sway bars added, a '69 chevelle will keep up with late model Vettes......
