  1. These guys are over the top.....what paint!!!! B)
  2. thanks..when I got to where yours was in the pic, I glued a scrap of styrene to the end. The finned area is a fan hub from the parts box,cut off the blades then I fit the diagonal and shaped it with a sanding stick. Little bit of putty and shaping...I did leave the end long for final fitting....
  3. Cause then it wouldn't be fun!!!! :P Now....calm down...what you are doing is LEARNING!!!..All of us have boo-boos in our builds..see what you did wrong, so you don't do that again.I train technicians for field work..the first thing I teach is if you have to go back to a job, look and think..but DON"T DO what you last did...if it did not work then why will it work now? Also..think about your choice of glues..do not use tube glue for final assembly....it usually bites you...
  4. lookin great..love the doors!!...will the bench fit, or you gonna use buckets? great start on the swamp kooler...I did one the same way as you..fits in the window, and can be removed. keep the updates coming :D
  5. the painted wheels and stitching on the seat.....real
  6. Pegasis also sells sleeves(colored also) that convert their 19" to 23"....that said Pegasis 23s are really scale 20", the 19s scale to 17"..I use a lot of them , some centers come out for paint, others you mask or brush paint.They also have fair discs that show thru ..like these... These are T's 19 and 23 mixed (scale dreams sells mixed Big n littles) with discs

  13. You need a hot solvent cement...Tenax or pro weld work. after shaving flush, apply cement, let dry, sand. do this all over again, prime with duplacolor primer, sand and seal with duplacolor sealer primer. Base it (I shoot bc26) color it, clear it ....let it be
  14. Mike the reason is that all of those online reviews were published...So if you want to see them online, you've already paid to see them in print...its called marketing...a fancy way of taking your money, and making you still feel good..Thats why I buy the mags and read the forums
  15. As a photographer..(old school..film) go and google "staticmaster" it is a fine brush designed to remove dust and static electricity from film, It uses a isotope and is available in a couple of sizes. I use this in all my large format work..4" x5" and larger..most good darkroom suppliers carry them. Yes they do work...but not cheep http://www.amstat.com/solutions/staticmaster.html http://www.amazon.com/Static-Master-Static-Master-Brush-quot/dp/B0000AE67S

  19. I've looked and looked at this one for a while now, I think Daves thought of dropping the rear down is the right period look...I for one would love to see an injected big block rather than blown...with that sweet tilt front 8 tall chrome stacks would look killer.....As for the bed...just where it is now.. .. .yep this coming from zona man...don't shorten this one
  20. I got a Canadian Care package from my buddy DAN today....hand cast wheel and tire set for a project I'm planning....These are better than store bought...Thanks again!! :lol:
  21. Very neat...love the concept and execution....don't care for the slanted B post...makes the rear window soooooolong....
  22. On my prize winning 1953 Harley FL, I did a lot of the work...but I could not split the cases on the rebuild, nor did I do the paint...by choice. I had a beautiful display board giving credit where it was due(and paid for)...I had the vision...and I keep the trophys....
  23. Being as its January.....when will we see November??? :(
  24. Thanks Mark...makes sense, these don't blink...must be for the "look"
