Spooky 52

Still holds true. I may alert other builders that it is not a dependable magazine to subscribe to.

I guess I should have flushed $30 down the toilet instead. At least I would have known what happened to it. ?

I just wanted to tell Gregg that I loved his bear story!

How long does it take for a subscription to start?

Looks great! Very nicely done.

Original 1961 Buick Special wagon.

While I was a sophomore, a senior was driving the opposite of this ('57 chevy with the front clip of a '55 on it) at the high school I went to. He was in auto shop. Him and his Dad put it together. I also built his car first.

I had the front clip from a '57 Chevy left over from a project, and an old '55 kit, sitting not being useful when I got the idea to combine the two on a stormy night. As a tribute to Peter Boyle (Young Frankenstein) and Ernie Anderson a.k.a. Ghoulardi, (host of WJW TV 3 Fright Night in Cleveland, Ohio. Made the decals myself.)

Where do you get that ??? ?

Just finished (with the exceptions of a few minor details) my rat rod '34 pickup, made with mostly parts from the junkyard. Wood in the bed, Mexican blanket seat covers, powered by an unknown flathead. Oh yeah, front nose from a '37 Chevy. It was a fun week-long build.

Very nice.

Finished and in the case.

OMG ! How embarrassing. Thank Gates for spell-check!

I thought about that, but decided to keep them to be as close to the puller as I could. I had to cut 13 3/4 scale inches off the bed to maker it work on the AMT '37 Chevy Coupe chassis. I'm working on a big block chevy for the power plant.

I had an incomplete OBS kit. Wasn't sure what to do with it, and then got the idea of turning it into a gasser. So far, so good. what do you think?

This is what happened to the left over parts. The decals, I made myself.

Thanks for the positive comments. If anybody is interested, I can show you what I did with the left-over parts from that build.

I built this show winner, '55- '57 Chevy in 1993 as a replica of 1:1 car from my high school days (1967). The guy who owned was a Junior in Auto shop.

It has been a while since I have been really active in the hobby. When I was last active, Chrome Tech USA was still around. Are there any plating services that does what CTU did? If not, what is the best method to rechrome parts? Thanks.

Brush stuff for details

What bottle paint to use, now that Testors cannot be found? I am thinking about acrylics (water wash up). What do you recommend?

Under base of white Duplicolor primer, Testors Inca Gold with a clear coat as the topper.
