  1. Yes food coloring and Pledge will tint windows. Keep in mind it will need to be very dark in your mixing cup prior to applying it to a test window. I tinted my 1/25 Hot wheels El Camino this way.
  2. I know you are building a 68 and not a 69. Here is silver with black stripe body I did for a buddy that races slot cars.
  3. I am liking what you are creating.
  4. Obviously the plastic will be fine. The instructions should be the priority. Get them separated, open, flat and dried. Waxed paper should keep them from sticking if you choose to stack them to save on space. The decals will be a challenge to save. Get them fully dried then put each of them into a sandwich baggie and stuff them between the pages of a large heavy book. Later, when it is time to apply them, it will take much longer in warm soapy water to release from the backing, but patience will likely pay off. The boxes are probably mostly goners. Keeping them from warping may not likely be worth the effort. Save the box top artwork to at least keep it with the kit when it is reboxed. Keep circulating air around everything to help prevent mold growth. Hopefully his collection is a "I will build it" collection and not just an "Investment" collection because the water damage has killed each kit's value.
  5. Excellent results! With that level of detail I would have flocked the floor.
  6. I concur. Find a race car kit and bash away.
  7. Very nice effort!
  8. I am in complete agreement. Decanted cans can be sprayed without thinning. However, too little of paint stored in too big of a jar for too long turns to sludge.
  9. Way cool project. Thanks for posting.
  10. Very nice result. I was working on a Pro street 70 El Camino but it has stalled.
  11. Very cool and unique.
  12. I built the Skyliner when I was a kid. I did not remember it being that difficult. Of course it was molded in Yellow and I did not paint it. I thought is was cool that the top actually worked. I have a few Revell tri-five Chevys in my stash. I am still afraid to tackle them in spite of my improved skillset.
  13. Very nice. Sometimes a quick build helps get one's sense of accomplishment satisfied.
  14. Love the idea. Here is a little inspiration for you.
  15. Very nice Shelby. I have been working on a 67 and 68 but got side tracked.
  16. Most impressive!
  17. Good to see you are making great progress.
  18. Nice color choices. I will be following as well.
  19. Very nice RR. Your distributor is the best I have ever seen. May I suggest one more detail? The rubber strips on the front bumper.
  20. That is my favorite Camaro hood. I even hung one up in my diorama.
  21. Very nicely done. I like the rallys and especially the stance. Your interior detail is excellent.
  22. I have both of these kits in my stash. I will be interested in seeing how they build up. Following.
