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!

Neat Idea Looks like a modern Hillbilly Mobile home!

Well I did Finally finished this back in March. Didn't do anything special to it other than detail the engine.

Well decided to build one of AMT's Chopped 24 T Here is a Mock up of it

Around here to check a dog for rabies they have to put the dog down and send the head off to be checked

What a waste of time and money !! My dogs rear end is better looking than that!!

I mix a little of the ModelMaster Metalizer Brass and Aluminum together to get the color I want for Carbs.

There is also another way. At Hobby Lobby in the jewelry making Department there is a product called Pony Bead lacing. It is a hollow black rubber about the size of most radiator hoses. I just use some plastic rod as pins to hold it in place. I used it on my 49 Merc that I did last year and one i just Finished last week. Here is the pic of the engine with it being used.

As Harry Stated if the lid is cleabed the pait will last A long time. I have some that is 20 years old and still using it.
