  1. I have used food coloring mixed with Future acrylic to tint windows. You will have to get it pretty dark in the cup before applying it. If you do not like the results, it will come right off with household ammonia.
  2. Very impressive effort and execution. Well done!
  3. Very nice. I have heard of issues with the decals. Yours look great.
  4. That Vette is SaWEET!!!
  5. Thank you for the encouragement. I have been in a building slump. My Mustangs have been disappointing and I have a bunch of other projects taking up my time.
  6. As far as a race car, I have a 67 Mustang GT that I am stuffing a 427 SOHC motor into. Unfortunately it has stalled due to inability to paint due to winter weather. (Body is painted teardrop hood is not). I am going to combine this rig with a trailer and Chevelle I did years ago.
  7. 70-71 Torinos are one of my most favorite Fords. You have one GORGEOUS ride there. Good luck on the build.
  8. Quality AND quantity most impressive!
  9. My entry in this years BRBO is a Ford Race Car Hauler. It is something I have really wanted to do for a long time. I have leftover cab parts from my two Freightliner COEs. I will repurpose them into a sleeper for this build. I have an unbuilt Coke truck that I have been robbing parts from. It will provide the frame rails and other parts needed to extend the wheelbase. Time to stop dreaming about it and get to it.
  10. Count me in. I am doing the Ford LN 8000 with an extended frame and adding a sleeper.
  11. I had my car at a all Pontiac show years ago. Someone brought a metallic brandywine '66 2+2 I thought it was gorgeous!
  12. The trailer is definitely making it to my stash.
  13. The last bike is quite impressive. What scale is it?
  14. Following. I built a modified lowboy in 2019. I decked the rear section and extended the front.
  15. I want/need to finish my 4 ongoing Mustangs. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/155547-stalled-1967-mustang-gt-coming-back-in-the-queue/ http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/155548-1967-shelby-gt-350-dark-blue/ http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156213-1968-shelby-gt-500/ http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156212-1969-boss-429/ Then move onto a Ford LN 8000 Race Car Hauler with a sleeper. I do want to build a black extended flatbed semi trailer for my black and gold Freightliner I finished this year. I have so many cool kits but not enough time.
  16. A 2 door sedan delivery. Converting it to 4 door wagon will take some kit bashing.
  17. I stand corrected. Thank you Sir!
  18. Awesome collection of AFX builds. Thanks for sharing.
  19. Beautiful Challenger. FYI the antenna is supposed to be on the front fender.
  20. That looks great! Too bad about the hood. I put a resin Cowl Induction hood on mine. It fit reasonably well.
  21. Nice job on all. I like the green ElCo the best.
  22. Nice collection. Great job.
  23. Hard to expound on what others have already expressed. Excellent imagination and execution. Well done.
  24. I have a Hobby Lobby in my town of Salem and a local hobby store probably within a 5 miles of it. I hit them at least every other week. For awhile, price hindered my purchases. Now that I finally have disposable income, if I like the subject, I buy it. When I frequented the Portland area, I swung by Tammie's Hobbies every chance I got. Fortunately, I am at the point where I have 95% of the subjects I want to build. The remaining 5% are original issues that are $50 and up. With more kits than time, it is hard to justify it. When I am at HL there usually one other grayhair perusing the kits. When I am at the LHS there are usually 2-3 other customers but they are there for something else. At HL the shelves are usually well stocked, when they have kits on sale, about every other slot is empty. The LHS is well stocked with a good variety. I have learned to overlook the markup because it is still cheaper than adding shipping to any mail order place. Plus I like to support my local community. Where I am, kits are obviously selling.
