  1. Ithis the fuel injection setup that is in the 32 Ford 5 window? The reson I ask I haven't gotten one yet as nobody close to me has this on the shelves yet. if so I may have to buy a few for some projects
  2. On my screen saver there is a sweet looking 29 crew cab Ford pickup as soon as I get another29 Ford model I will start that. Also want to do a sectioned 48 Ford convertible. Have some others going that I need to finish and some others Started that i need to get back to. One and try my hand at the Big T when i get time as well.
  3. I myself would lik to see some 30's and 40's Chevies those would get my crank going!1 Some 50's buicks and pontaics would work also.Preferably the 55 on up to 59's would work.
  4. My first compressor for my aibrush a $140 badger blew up on me in less then 6 months. My next one was one my dad bought at a aucyion was homemade using a 3/4 horsepower compressor ona tank with regulator. when that gave up after a couple years I bought a small portable compressor from Sears one of those that look likes the ones you hook up to a car battery but it was 110 volt hooked it up to the tank and regulator and shut off valve that my dad had bought. was a little noisy bue lasted 4years. Now i have a Cambell hausefirld that I bought at Walmart for under $80 has a built in regulator and shutoff valve and will keep up wiyh me when i am painting. It has a 2 ga;;on tank. had it now for over 4 years. you can get thissame type of compressor at lowes and harbor freight.
  5. Thaks and the tips are scratch built
  6. I'm liking all the mods you have done so far!!!!!
  7. Posted this a long time ago. Have been working on it of and on for a while . I've been having the hardest time with the exhaust tips as I cut out areas in the back for them to set in. I finally got them the way I like so I wanted them chrome so i painted them with glos black then shot them with Alclad but that did't look right . So I sanded that off and repainted them with gloss black and got out the SNJ alunimum powders. Now they look pretty good. If I get home early enough tomorrow night may try and get some better pics.
  8. At this time I will have to deline as I have two customers builds that I need to finish first
  9. This project I think is going on now for 10 years. It was at the body painters house for like 2 of them. I Think it is a good idea ,but you should keep track of it on a website and need to really set a length of time one person can have the project
  10. Here is a site just of Camaro's can get all kind of ideas from this http://carnut.com/photo/list/chev/chev69.html

  12. I have been using Duplicolor Clear Truck paint On my Models for over 10 years and it has never ywllowed on me. Even decants clear and doesn't have a yellow tint. the last big can i bout was around $5. Everybody raves about Tamiya paints all of them I evr bought and tried out of the can I through away as i had better luck with Testors enamel paint.

  16. WEll I spent about 4 hours there ysterday if i didn't have some other things to do would have spent more time there. They have all the big names In customs come to this show. Well over 1000 cars were there and they had a Eldon Titus memorial model contest. I didn't enter as I didn't get mine done for the show. Joyce Dewitt was the big TV/movie celebrity there. She was very friendly talked with her for about 15 minutes. First link is of the model contest and the second one is the cars and the contest. There was so many cars i could get pictures of them all in the short time i was there. http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/Tabs...a2009%20models/ http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/Tabsscale/kkoa2009/

  22. This was Done with Tesors One caot paints . I did shoot it throughmy airbrush though as i don't likethe nozzles on the cans. I have some others done with it but no pictures but I used it out of the can with same results. This was before I polished it out.
