Seeing if my website page I just made works http://www.geocities.com/tabsscale/rusted40ford.html

Mine is a back draft I used furring strips and made a box and in the back I made a box that holds the Bathroom vent fan that is connected to a dyer vent tube outside. The walls are a plastic shower walls that I cut up and screwed into the furring strips . I use a furnace filter also in the back to catch most of the over spray. I had the furring strips and bathroom shower walls from remodeling my bathroom. Cost was maybe $20 for everything else . Did it all about 15 years ago Was glad i saved that old shower came in handy for this. Would take pictures but daughter has the camera and she isn't here.

Shot the transparent blue over this and decided to get better pics. Need to fix a couple spots then will shoot some clear over it.

Bottle just says Metalic blue

Okay here is the body in the base coat. Have to sand out the hood and a few other goobers then hit it again. Then I will hit it with a transperant blue.all are HOuse of Kolor Custom Colors I bought at Walmart when they had them. Used Duplicolor white primer as primer of choice on this.

Got the door panels done on my 40 Ford Then added the skirts on the body and now making some trim around the windsheild frame Then I did the place for the tag and taillights Made some bullet tailights out of some clear red plastic

I use a small 2 gallon Campbell Hausfeld That I bought At Wally World for $70 That works great. It has a built in regulator. It is a little loud but just for a few minutes as it keeps up with some continuous use. They have a run silent modelbut the prices go up then. I think I have seen those models at Lowes.

That looks fantastic now to get the time to work on mine again. I have one side of the interior done with the tuck and rol need to work on the other side now

Powder

just checked and pearls are $3 and they have others that are $7 called Ice pearls. They are inReady to paint 2 oz. of paint section

I bought What is Called Pearl Ex from Micheals a Set of like 24 different pearls for under $25. Have used it on many different models in lacquer paints through my airbrush. Also Black Gold sells Pearl powders for like $5 a bottle. Have some of those as well. All of them there is more than enough for quit a few years. If I remember right Black Gold also sells metail flakes as well. You can check them out Here http://www.blackgoldweb.com/

I reall y like what you have going on this so far!!

Well I have my seat done needs some fine tuning then it will be finished next i started on the interior door panels then i did this now thinking of going horizontal insted of this way

In keeping with the custom theme thought my 40 Ford needed tuck and roll interior. I took the stock seat and did this.I cut out the areas with my dremel and cleaned them up a bit Then I took some plastic tubing and did this. Hoping to get both sides done tonight. Then i will start on the doors and the rest of the interior

Oh buy the way i am way out of my element here never really done an all out custom!!

I usually use Ambroid Pro Weld but can't seem to find it around here anymore. Using Plastructs liquid cement on this one havealso used testors liquid cementto do this. I still have to figure out what color it is going to be. decided on using the street rod parts out of the Good guys 40 Ford for the suspension. Was going to make a 4 link for the rear and independent front suspension from scratch when I first stated on this. Have made all of it before for a couple other projects I have in the works.

Here is an update on mine . Filled all the gaps with plastic liquid cemment was used to melt the plastic and to use it as body filler. Have to wait now for that toset up. I don't use Super glue on my models unless i absolutely have to.

Here is what i have so far with an hour of work. Thought about chopping it some more but think I'll stick with this

Here is what I am going to start with

Well I guess I will try this see if it can get things flowing for me.

this would be mine

You could also use Heat shrinking tubes over the 4 ends just heat it a little to conform around the 4 pieces of solder

The ide is neet But that has to be one of the ugliest cars I have seen!! Just My opinion

Chopped this a couple years ago decided to start working on it. Painted he 37 last night after I did some mor body work. Frgot to take a before pic of the bodywork. I molded the headlights in and molded some tailights in and cut out some spots where the exhaust tips will be when he model is done. This was all painted with Testors new One Coat paint. will let i gass out and polish it later has a few dust bunnies in it. The paint was sprayed from the can into my airbrush. this is some nice paint Just would be nice if testors would use the nozles like Duplicolor uses.

Well this is just part of mine and it was taken 3 years ago added about the same amount that shows in the picture since. I was at 1000 kits 2 years ago have sold some and bought some.
