  1. Gel type CA with accelerator..sand quick and it works...
  2. Thats because you've earned it...By trying and not crying
  3. HOK Sunrise Yellow Pearl, Motor and wheels Tamiya Mica Red (white base)...... And you know me....I do not build "flashy" stuff :P :lol:
  4. Needs color.......The orig has a stock bed.....
  5. old bodymans trick....like dust coats...they work!! Got some mud on and things are getting there.....Had to see what the rear looked like......
  6. This thread has to be related to my past '48 Galaxie review...same cast.....ok Barney Fife didn't make mine....
  7. Well I build for ME....ONLY ME. I learned not to point out garbage and be PC and call it sweet!...If anyone points out my errors on a build....I can easily find at least a dozen more. Real point...put your builds in a line oldest to newest. If you can see a difference or progression in each one your doing just fine. heres mine......I switched the 60 and 69 for space
  8. My trusty Zona...can't build without it!! got it from Raul......
  9. Thanks Mikes!! The reason I get such good fits is the welding action of tenax.....others just do not weld correctly. I do use CA with accelerator for some repair work,but for chops It dries too hard and britlle unless you pin it....
  10. You didn't think I was done...did you???? Evergreen and Tenax time........ Now for some Primer, sanding, Mud, and more sanding, and primer..........
  11. Its like a plastic jigsaw puzzle!!...not much filler needed!!
  12. Where to start........6mm tape , move it around to figure it out.... looks good , now some black primer......?????? Now...remove the white and put it back together!!
  13. I will never build anything stock....somebody already did that...why again? This is my inspiration, but I am not a flat paint kind of guy, so I will listen to this as I cut and it will tell me what color /colors it wants to be covered in. This one will run steelies and whites as they seem to fit the Ardun flattie the best.
  14. Beautiful job!!!! IMHO its gonna overheat w/o the upper radaitor hose....
  15. Its called sharing.....a couple of shots of another similar build shows differences between builds....Not rude....but some people can be!! As long as it does not take over the thread.....
  16. I'm needid dark sunglasses.....

    Looks better in the sunshine.... Paint is Duplacolor Linen White as a base, HOK Hot Pink Pearl over. Then 2 mist coats of HOK DR1 Silver Pearl powder, Jacquard Dusty Rose powder in clear Duplacolor followed by 4 clear coats, wet sanded and polished with Novus 2
  20. Just switched mine...no problems...you did hit "save changes" at the bottom of the page? if the picture comes from a url..delete the http// from the box before you post your link...
  21. Cost?? available in the states??
  22. Gorgeous...looks a mile deep!!!
  23. I edited the 200 to 2000.....Micro mesh pads and novus 2 will restore it..... soapy water will work the best
  24. Thanks Glenn.....The front discs are stock pegasis chrome 19" I hand painted metalizer steel on the discs, opened up all the holes with a pin to blackwash them. The calipers are painted clear red. I also took the rear "wheel backs " and made drums out of them.This kit has some poor fit issues..but I had a good time
  25. The Build I will set up in the sunshine and see if the pearl explosion happens!!
