  4. NOPE not going there!!! I am finally gonna do an older rod with a flathead out of the new '32 sedan kit from revell. But I'm not versed on mounting this puppy! So look here and tell me if the 2 "airbags" out front are the motor mounts?

  11. It will depend upon your choice of bases. If you shoot HOK (black gold) lacquer it is a satin at best when shot. at that point you can shoot dullkote over to finish or leave it as is. This pickup was not cleared and finished in this shot and has the suede look. If you shoot Tamiya lacquer you will need dullkote as most of these will gloss nicely if shot correctly!
  12. Ditto!!!! Here use this!!!!!
  13. I believe the B/NSS is Nostalgia Super Street....but I can' remember the sanctioning body NHRA, NMRA, NMCA ?????
  14. AGREED!!!! Dad had this one in '65 only a small 289.... IMHO if you want that 427 to pop..blackwash the manifold & carbs...
  15. A great ride in the day!!!...But PLEASE no Hemi!!! WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Hemis....But this one needs a 440, and a sixpack to go.............. I am not telling ANY stories or talking any $$$ changing hands down at union grove BUT you need that 440
  16. Morning George........WAKE UP HARRY!!!!
  17. Ahhhh the '32/'34 kit....as Lyle noted A POS this '32 kit is about the same and the "hardtop" version.... this is a fine kit!!
  18. IMHO ditch the sidepipes, and You need a big honkin BLOWER...ditch the highrise and stuff a 12-71 in it!!!!
  19. Sweet Hardtail!!!!!IMHO you need to plumb the oilbag....easy to do and it will make a diff!! Yep I know a sweet chop when I see it! thats me on "Mac Daddy"
  20. LISTEN TO FRANK.....HE KNOWS!!!
  21. It is a lace paint job. To decal the whole car would be a nightmare,trying to get it all square. To lace a body like this first paint the entire care with your base color.Then mask off the sides, lace it and mask the top and lace the sides. Counting the coats is the way to get even lace patterns.Then pearl and or clear the whole car. This is a real tough paint job to pull off. If you watch American Chopper on TV, Nub did a "reptile" like paint on the give a way bike for the blond... stockings streched over the base gave him the "scales" Good luck!
  22. BUILD OF THE YEAR!!!!! I ran out of GIFS!!!!!!
  23. fill it sand it and paint it black....now you got a curbside!!!!
  24. Nicely done!!!! But if thats a 429 in the mustang....whats up w/351 valve covers???
  25. and you can't polish it out?..more info might help.....but if its a good solid dry clear...then selective polishing might save it....
