I happened to be watching that movie recently and remember laughing at that line.

The Gumball Rally.

I don't have any progress pics at the moment, but I did get some parts that I have been waiting for. FiTech EFI and tires from Fireball Modelworks for my Thunderbolt station wagon.

All of you guys are doing a great job. I envy those of you that have the time to work on stuff. I don't have anything far enough along to be able to post any progress pics.

So cool. Excellent build as usual, Dennis.

I find that to be the most frustrating thing about the Shapeways website. That and some of the parts have no description whatsoever.

Great work. It reminds me a lot of the Panoz Esperante racer.

I dig it.

That's a crazy story.

I use scalehobbyist a lot. They are always the first place I look for something.

That is a good one. Went completely over my head.

Two great looking cars. ??

Great stuff in the last batch of pictures.

Ooh, nice. I will buy at least 2.

I visited the new HL near me that's been open about 2 weeks. Very limited model car shelf space. Not much in the way of paint either.

I made the mistake of trying to paint the engine for my Thunderbolt 2 door wagon with a spray can that I had never used before. Of course I didn't do a test spray beforehand, what could possibly go wrong? I think the whole can emptied out with 1 squirt. The engine is now soaking in Super Clean. I guess that's what I get for being too lazy to get the airbrush and compressor out.

Did you really use your first post to dig up a 6 year old thread and insult someone?

I 2nd this. I work for a silicone elastomers company and we use 91%-99% IPA to clean up our workbenches.

Createx paints, like most paints, are great if applied properly. I suggest going to their Youtube channel and checking out their videos. They give you all the information you need to know about how to thin and apply their paints. The rest is practice, practice, practice.

I'm a die-hard Mustang fan and generally like Foose's stuff, but I would have to pass on this. The wheels are ugly and everything else looks.........weird.

That is really nice and clean. Excellent work.

To the best of my limited knowledge it's the same kit with different decals. There is nothing but race oriented parts in the box.

Is the Street Burner version of the 64 Fairlane Thunderbolt eligible? If so, I would like to change my entry to that. I have the Tasca Ford version packed away somewhere, but I can't find it. And to help disguise it's competition intentions, I'm going to use a Jimmy Flintstone Fairlane wagon body.

Got a Jimmy Flintstone 64 Fairlane wagon along with PPP Holman Moody stock car wheels and Goodyear Nascar tires. Photo etch from Scale Motorsports and various paints from Hobby Lobby.

I've used Mr. Hobby without a problem. I will happily use whichever one is available to me.
