Really cool set-up Brian , that detail on the down spouts looks great

I always liked the 300SLR and yours is done up real nice

Coolest ole Ford in town, great lookin all around

Not a fan of convertibles , but that looks great , I think its the interior area that really catches my eye , cool one John

Thats one full bench with a bunch of great ideas , gold on the "ute" looks to work real good

They look real sharp Bill , thats the era I like....good builds

Seat pattern looks super,gonna look great when that completed dash goes in

Welcome Mark , great to see your name pop up....

Now that just gets the heart goin' and eyeballs poppin' to cool for words

Its always great to see your work , and welcome to the board Tom

Art this is a monster of a build.. your Fotki shows just how big of a project it is , the patience in the rivets alone should get you sainthood..

That front grille mesh really sets off the front area...great rod

I noticed today there is about 140 registered members who have not posted , just think how many cool pictures and ideas thats out there if you only posted once...plus the replies to your posts..its huge..give it a whirl , post a build , we would love to see them... :idea:

Zed ,you have some really cool ideas and the talent to pull it off , sweet chop...any color ideas?

Bad link Irvin...needs the JPG at the end not a HTML..I think.....

Tims resale statement is very true , KW ,Pete ,DAF and FODEN under the PACCAR logo leases high dollar trucks at the same price other companies do leasing NAVs and Freightliners,[get lease dollars - get resale dollars ]Daimler-Benz has WesterStar , Freightliner, Sterling, Oshkosh , American Lafrance , Unimog and with Volvo taking up Mack, seems like no matter what you buy sometimes the money goes to 1 of 4 companies. It also seems true Navistar gets a big share of Fed & Gov't bucks along with Custom Chassis and again Custom is under Benz.........Freightliner has a neat history. http://www.freightliner.com/inside/our-history.aspx

Any time I use laquers I primer first to avoid crazing the plastic , I've mixed Dupli-color clear over Testors laquer system . Tamiya seems "hotter" to me so I always primer , and if I start out Tamiya I stay all Tamiya . Some paints like Krylon "Fusion" tend to leave dull spots sometimes making polishing a must . My first choice is always Dupli-color sandable primer , if detail is light I'll decant and thin more and run it thru a gun. I"ve heard some rumblings on this newer plastic crazing but havent run into this problem myself......
