so I found a person selling 24 drawer unit today and in a rush she gave me the wrong one. it was sealed in the box. I was also in a rush, so I didnt even check. she apologized numerous times when I contacted her, but I made out as I got an even better deal than I was expecting. If the small drawers dont work out, Ill do something else but for what I paid, i cant complain. the rest of my weekend...I could complain for hours haha

im not sure this will work on 1:25 scale, but on some of the tonka restoration videos, the restorer sprays paint onto a flat surface and "dips" the tire into the wet paint. NOTE: I HAVE NOT attempted this technique in any scale so IDK if it will work.

those style boxes were my first thought since theyre stackable. I try to buy US made stuff whenever possible but Ive heard a lot of good reviews on them. May have to bring some of my bigger parts with me and see how they fit haha

thanks Craig!

I know youre making it your own, and Im not a big preservationist but BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH did it look good on the cragars and slicks with the weathered body

thanks Josh, heading over there now

Hey guys, I searched but didnt come up with anything, also please move if necessary... Im looking to get super organized with my loose parts. I want to separate everything into categories. In the past, I used the clear small "tackle" boxes, but now that Ive amassed some peoples collections etc, I need to rethink how I do this. Throwing stuff in empty model boxes isnt working anymore, esp now that Im trying to use up some of these parts Ive collected. As I separate, Im also going to be trading off/selling the stuff I dont want, that should help So, what are you guys using for containers? Thanks in advance, and if there are other threads you know of, please let me know and Ill delete this one

looks amazing!!!

I LOVE drag boats (V, or Jet,idc.... I own a 71 Bayon outboard as well)... you knocked it out of the park!

THANKS Mark! Ive been thinkingnabout finding one and building a pro touring Buick Regal out of it.

so I got this body in a pile of parts years ago...absolutely no other race car parts mixed in, no markings, etc. its obviously a late 70s to mid 80s gm race car (short track, nascar etc) but the flares are throwing me off. the door handle deletes are odd to me as well. has window clips and pinned trunk lid. any help is appreciated. if this is the wrong section mods, please move. thanks guys!

It needs something...Like the 37 Ford convertible billet dash haha

thank you!!!

well Id buy a few...if they dont screw it up from this point haha

well tonight didnt go very well. broke the nose and was completely unhappy with the way the new mods went. time to sit back and think this over. as the Terminator says..."Ill be back" but I might be starting from scratch. haha ugh

I think you need to update the thread for RRR. who goes on vacation and leaves us hanging like that?!?!?!?!?! haha

looks awesome. Cant go wrong with a slammed Caddy, esp in beautiful paint

I wonder how close your printed flathead is to a v860. I love land speed stuff, so Ill be watching!!! looks awesome so far

If I were to ever build a Monza in 1:1, itd be just like this. KILLER WORK

me too! i worked on it for about half an hour today and got sidetracked with other things. maybe when the kids go to bes

AWESOME!!!!

thank you. I accomplished my goal which was to extend the grillle surround so the nose wasnt flat. I ended up messing it up when I sanded it. I didnt see the extent of it until I put primer on it. thank you! Im hoping it comes out clean...but honestly Im just winging it haha

been in a funk the last few days but I started on the rear end and threw some primer on the nose and doors. not a ton of work to do fillerwise, but Im not happy with the grille surround so that needs to be redone

I know the car well. Its one of my favorite Late 50s era customs. In fact, it was he first one that came to mind when you described it haha

THAT WORKS. round off the corners and youre done!
