  1. When you say laminated decals what exactly do you mean? Color images printed over white images?
  2. Wow, That has to be the best Guthrie Lumina I have ever seen. That green paint is stunning. Excellent build in every way possible.

    Petty 200th

    Excellent build in so many ways. Absolutely beautiful.
  4. So when do we get to see the final pictures? I keep clicking on the thread in anticipation only to get my hopes dashed again and again.
  5. All I can say is Wow , Dustin. Another Excellent build. Detailing is supreme.
  6. I did some searching around and it looks like 1981 was the last year for the rope type window net . I found a picture of a waltrip 81 buick and it had a rope type and then i found a waltrip 82 buick and it had the belt type like the pontiac you posted above. I'm not sure what year that pontiac raced?
  7. Im thinking it was some where in the eightys. Need to look into it just for grins.
  8. I wonder when they went from the rope style to the belt style window net?
  9. If you want it hanging down the door your going to have to scratch build it, probably out of thin pieces of tape. Not that hard but its going to be time consuming. The old school nets look more like rope like this one i made for Seniors nova. You have to use thread for those.
  10. Looks fantastic. Odd that Powerslide decals would wrinkle. Did you coat them with anything? I have that kit with the decals that come in the box . I need to look at them and see how they have held up. Might just have to build it now that you have my interest up.
  11. Wow, that was fast. Awesome job on it.
  12. They did use oil cooler radiators before then though. At least the 63 Ray Fox Chevy did. Front left corner underhood is oil cooler radiator and remote oil filter.
  13. Wow, Awesome build , Doc. That engine is really nice.
  14. Cool , I have that one. Did you use the wheels and tires from it? I might just build it box stock and not worry about accuracy.
  15. Super nice build, Has held up well over the years.
  16. A quickie for you translates to a 3 month build for me. Another over the top awesome build. Where did the body come from?
  17. Looking forward to the wip. Always nice to see how a model evolves from start to finish and any pitfalls or good tips that might occur.
  18. Well , there you go. Your model looks exactly like the real car. The ref picture proves it. Sometimes when you make a model look too realistic, people think you made a mistake on the model and you have to end up defending yourself with real car photos. I've been through that before.
  19. right in front of the of the union 76 decal it looks like there's a part of the blue paint missing. Maybe my eyes arent seeing it correctly.
  20. Another fine build in the making.
  21. Looks awesome as always. whats going on at the left ft bumper area?
  22. Bruce is totally correct on this. definitely use the spoons
  23. Travis, check your messages at the top of the page.
  24. Just looking at the profile picture of that car, the roof line and fenders look more like a 37 then a 39. But if you say its a 39 then its a 39. I dont want to hijack your thread with a picture of one of my models so i will p.m. it to you. It turns out the kit I used was a Revell 37 ford street rod kit.
