Painting with the hood on or off?
Bills72sj replied to av405's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for sharing. My Dad used to drag race a 33 Plymouth Coupe with a 331 Hemi in the mid 60's. At one point he had 8! 2BBLs on it. If he saw that there was no one in a certain, Blown, class, he would run a flex hose from the heater blower into one of the carbs just to win a trophy. -
Thank you, Danato. ? Thank you, Harry. I thought so too. Thank you, Garry. I am glad you like them. ? Thank you, Ismael. ? Thank you, Jeff. I am pretty pleased with my throughput. Congratz on you 9. ? Thank you, Bob. ? Thank you, David. ? Thank you, Bill. That one was born a 75 promo. I back dated it and added a lot of engine detail. to the 455. Thank you, Bob. ? Thank you, Greg. ? Thank you, Terry. ? Thank you, Mathias. ? Thank you, Hans. I had a lot of fun building it. Much more interesting than a plain white background. Thank you, Phil. No, I like to mix it up. Annually, I shoot for 3 types of builds. One semi, one challenging project and a batch build of 3-5 similar subjects. This year I did not do the semi because last year's was so tough and this year's El Camino need dragged across the finish line finally. Thank, you David. I have lots of variety in my stash to work with. Thank you, Bruce. I am glad you liked it. ? Thank you, Craig. I have plans on eventually having a number of Hurst subjects. Including someday this one.

Thank you, John. ? Thank you, Oliver. ? Thank you, Chris. ? Thank you, Chas. I would have loved to have owned one. Thank you, Bill. ? Thank you, David. ? Thank you, David. I wanted something besides basic black inside.

I managed to get SEVEN done this year. One holy grail, two long term projects OFF the bench and 4 batch builds just squeaked in under the wire.

You sure do some fine work. What is the color of the 71 Cuda? I am leaning towards something like that for an upcoming build.

Great job on the weathering. All that hard work paid off! -
Thank you, Steve. The tires that come with the rims were just TOO low profile for a car this big. I still greatly enjoy my diorama. I use it for a staging area for WIPs. I take pics of the undercarriage on a lift because flipping a model over for pics, destroys the "illusion" in a gallery of photos. Thank you, Greg. ? Thank you, Tim. They are parts box tires from an unknown source. I have 4 overflowing kit boxes of tires. I got them cheaply, by the pound, off ebay in the very early 2000's. Thank you, Phil. ? Stand by... Thank you, Ben. ? I would really like to have the real thing. ? Thank you, Mike. ? Thank you, Gary. I am generally a Day Two builder with aftermarket wheels and upgraded induction. However, the Pontiac 8-lugs really appeal to me. But for the "High Performance" pick of the litter, I thought these wheels were just the ticket.

Thank you, Carl. ? Thank you, Garry. I was only a toddler when these came out. Thank you, Jeff. I was looking to do something different and the blue interior was a factory option with black. Than you, Mathias. ? Thank you, Jeremy. To me, stance is very important. I get it pretty close most of the time. Thank you, Robert. ? Mike, Thank you. I agree. I was entered in a car show in Omaha, NE and a GORGEOUS 66 2+2 was parked next to me. It left quite an impression. All of these Ponchos are as close as I think I am going to get.

Cool builds. I did not know AMT made a Maverick.

Identification request
Bills72sj replied to Earl Marischal's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
There would be plastic bits everywhere AND it would be leaking coolant. (Unless it was a Tesla) -
Thank you, James. ? Thank you, Michelle. ? Thank you, Keith. The 2+2 had the most potential for performance as it was the lightest of the bunch. Thank you, Steve. ? Thank you, Bob. ? Thank you, Craig. ? Thank you, Jack. I put extra effort into the interiors.

Thank you, Dan. I thought so too. That is why I chose it. Thank you, Michelle. ? Thank you, Keith. ? Thank you, Steve. ? Thank you, Bob. Go for it! ? Thank you, Craig. ? Thank you, Jack. ? Thank you, Phil. ?
