Thanks very much guys.

Nope the Duplicolor Clears are quite good.

Kinda gruesome subject matter, but pretty well done.

I'm still trying to get over that color combo, but man, that is very well done. Good clean work.

I have bought older glue bombs that had decals flaking off. Granted they were 30 years old, very likely, and put on badly, but still. So yes, it is mostly assumption.

Maybe a parts pack engine?

Great color and stance Jim!

A mural? Nope just the rooms reflection in my shiny paint! I hope to be at the MAGS show this year. Likely the Pinellas Park show too if it happens.

I'm with Pat. I want the decals to last forever. Not dry up and flake off over twenty years. So I will clear my race cars. But I will not polish.

Trade away the ones you don't want, for something you do. Very simple. Trying to sell is problematic because it might only be worth $5. But in most trade situations, it's usually worth another kit.

I use 1000.

Yes, ditch the curbside idea. This one deserves to be full detail.

Super clean work. It looks like a real beast.

Franklin Ink is on Facebook. That's the best way to touch base with him and see what he has available.

After sanding to 3600 grit to fix a flaw in the clear, I used this http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g18116-polishing-compound/. In just a few minutes I has an excellent shine. I followed it with some polish and had an excellent finish. I was shocked how easy it was.

Thanks very much guys, the decals came from the recent re-issue of the Thames gasser.

Chris, I think you did a bang up job on this. Is the exhaust system something you scratch built or from a kit?

Very happy to hear this. I always enjoyed that site.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad you like it. I did do a bit of research. Straight sixes were in fact raced in gassers, and since the '53 came with such a nice one it was a no brainer. I really had to pull it against the firewall to get it to fit though.

I'm really liking this.

I should really be calling this one, Left Overs. Because it sure is. She came to life from my parted out 1/24 kits. The kit really lends itself to a classic gasser very well. The straight axle and rear wheels/tires are from the Boothill Express, the I-6 from the Monogram '53 Chevy coupe. It has some great speed parts. Without further ado............some shiny just for Jim.

Box what? I have never heard this term before.

I just got this kit in a raffle at a local show. I'm still kicking around ideas. Can those building this show what they have done? I'm thinking a land speed racer.

I think some pics of this out in the sun might be a good idea Jim. That last shot gives us a taste of whats going on, but I suspect some sunlight will really show it off.

Can you download from a mobile device?
