Here’s an interesting alternative rock song... Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burning I was a key that could use a little turning

Well now, it’s nice to see a Wolfmother song in this thread. Dimension from their self-titled album.

A friend of a friend saw this the other day. Not just on the road, but in their driveway. They had someone inquire on something they had for sale, and the potential buyer was driving THE Dady Rat. Here’s a link for some more information on it. https://bangshift.com/bangshiftxl/dady-rat-hits-the-road-with-pieces-from-a-5-ton-army-truck-and-a-19-liter-duetz-v12-diesel/

Welcome, Mathias!

Welcome aboard, Brian!

Welcome to the forum, Joseph!

I dunno if this was already mentioned, but I found a picture of a shiny gold camaro ZL1!... And then there’s the six-wheeled supercar called the Covini C6W.

Got some spray painting done. The headers and exhaust system might be a little too shiny, but I think I can dull it down a bit with some dullcote.

The builds would be of larger scale cars, such as the Creator Ford Mustang and the Technic Bugatti Chiron. If it is ok to post threads of these builds, which category would they go under? They’d be of the completed builds, not WIP threads.

That’s one heckuva “sleeper”, if one could call it that ? I wonder what it’d run in the 1/4 mile.

Very true. There are certainly some similarities between them.

That’s...different... I got a good laugh out of the “GT 50%” on the side stripes. That reminds me of something... Apologies for getting a bit off topic, but one of those Smart ‘Stangs would make a good pit car for this thing.

I guess this counts as a “Palmerism”... A friend of mine owns one of these - a Python 2000 Diablo built by DNR Replicars. I’m pretty sure that they’re based on a Pontiac Fiero. Here’s a pic of a real Lambo Diablo for reference.

Anyone mind if I dig up an old thread? It looks like that Jeep Treo that I mentioned scared everyone away ? JK LOL. First, a strange yet cool lookin’ Ford Concept car. The 1963 Ford Thunderbird Italien Concept. Which one of these mid-engine Mustang renderings do you prefer? And, then there’s this...

This is one of my favorite Concept Cars. I can’t help but to wonder what the Mustang would be today if Ford did go through with the mid-engined Mach II...

Progress on this build has been slow, but sure. I've been getting some parts hand-painted over the last few days. The shifter doesn't look too bad, but the break is kinda noticeable. I've also discovered that painter's tape can come in handy for holding parts while hand-painting them ?

Anyone have a rollback and a spare garage that I could borrow? ?

Welcome to the forum, Charlie. You have some very impressive scratchbuilding skills. Keep up the good work.

Testing, testing, 1 2 3, Well, would ya look at that. Thank you very much for helping me figure out something so simple. I really appreciate it.

Ohhh, that makes sense ? I did not know that it was alcohol based. Yeah, the Eliminator was built in my pre-BMF days... Thank you for the info.

Yes, thank you Ray. I kinda forgot to include the recipe. Sorry ‘bout that ? The one that you linked is pretty similar to the one we used. For the flour we baked “raw” all purpose flour at 350 for a little over 5 minutes. Here is the link to the recipe that we used. We omitted the sticks, melted chocolate, and sprinkles, and used regular size chocolate chips instead of minis. https://sugarspunrun.com/cookie-dough-pops/

We found a recipe for no-bake chocolate chip cookie dough balls the other day. Boy are they good. Mix up the dough, roll it into small round shapes, chill for a bit, enjoy. The recipe made a lot of them, but this is all that's left ?

I know that Molotow Chrome Pen and clear coat are not quite the best of friends, but I though that clear coat just dulled the chrome. I just discovered that the Molotow chrome on the grille of my ZZ Top Eliminator ran a bit. I'm assuming that the clear coat is to blame. I used a few mist coats of Testors Enamel Clear Coat for the Eliminator. Anyone else have this issue?

Whenever I want to refer to another thread, for example, if I want to put a link to a project’s build thread in it’s Under Glass post, I always linked it to a word (click on the underlined word and it takes you to the build thread). How would I go about linking it like in the picture below? Apologies if this seems like a dumb question. I’m honestly not that tech-savvy to know how to link a thread like that ?

Snake, do you still have to prime parts before spraying the Krylon Foil? Just wanted to ask before I mess something up or add extra steps ?
