Go to Hobby Lobby at Least once a week always take my 40% off coupon. Just got the David Staey kit this week. Have spots for new kits coming in. It is nice that they have been getting the newer releases in used to be all they had was the same old same old.

Well this started out as a Dream Build project on a email list that I am on. It was going to be Black and silver and while at a car show I Saw one done that way and I didn't like it. So out came the True blue pearl from House of Kolor To go with the slver; Have it polished out and will be doing n start putting it together.

Just about any modern car that is produced today is ugly

Look like you have the look all coming together on this.

Nice looking 49 Always like the old school look.

Looks like you nailed it !! Very nice job on this>

I finished this last week. Basicly out of box and just wired and plumbed.

I'm thinking I am glad I don't own one as they have never caught my eye as a good looking car!

The scratch filler primer does have a shine to it. have some that is over 5 years old that is like that

I have this color from black gold and it just says to thin iy 100% with a med temp lacquer thinner . So you must have Kustom kolors paint I have used a medium temp lacquer thinner for that as well. Heck I thin all ,y paints with Lacquer thinner

Very Nice looking build!! You say the wheels are from the AMT Riveria Kit!! I guess I better see if I have that kit needsome wheels like that for a project>

Going to be a custom Have Some ideas on paint

Also did this one while waiting on the paint to dry on the 25 T

While I was waiting on some paint to dry on a 25 T project I pulled out a 32 Ford 5 window. I proceded to Chop it . This is what I have so far.

Here is a Link for the pictures I took I tried to take a picture of every model entered http://s5.photobucket.com/user/Tabsscale/library/KC%20Slammers%20Heartland%20Nationals2013

Had Agreat time Myself First time I have Been able to go in over 10 years. Will post pictures when I get them uploaded to photobucket

This one has been stalled for about 5 years now

Misfiring brain is doing that a lot lately didn't think it changed from years ago!! LOL

Thinking about going myself just got my car fixed so i can go just need to find a place to stay or maybe i'll sleep in my car.

Another view

I chopped one of these a few years ago got it to this stage and the paint started to peel off used black from the Kustom colors from house of color then i shot it with the clear they suplled and it made the paint peel off. I have it stripped and have to redo the rear fender wells as I wanted stock looking ones. Here is is in paint before the clear.

This car has been a pain in the butt to take picture s of I have a new lightthat attaches to my camera that I haven't tried on it yet.

Those I put the masking tape on the car then drew the flames on the tape. I did that free hand so it took a couple times to get them to look the same on both sides. I then cut the flamesout with my exacto knife. I then ran my finger nail over the edges to get the edges down on the body. These were just red pearl in testors wet look clear that I decanted into my airbrush. I then wnet around the edges with that clear and then after that set up i did that again. Once that set up I pulled the tap off. I then added more clear to my airbrush and that diluted the paint some so that there wasn't as much pearl in the clear. When I shot this clear over the body I did't shoot any on the flames just the outside edges. After that first coat set up i did that agin just to build it up alittle on the edges of the flames. I then shot it with 5 more caots of clear that I just kept adding to the airbrush. Then after it all set up I polished it all out to level off the paint.

That is just perfect just love the thinh!
