Nope, no pre-order or reserve and no, our PayPal accound did not show anything.

My Wife looked at our bank debit card statement a few days ago and there was a $1.75 deduction from PayPal. SOB's can figure out all kind of ways to screw us.

Thanks my Friend.

Thanks Jim, I was reluctant to cut the headlights off but it was the only solution I could come up with. Hey Mario, thanks alot. I guess I didn't mention in the post I wasn't going for the factory shade of green. I just like the look of the Createx pearls.

My latest completion. OOB except for 5-spokes from an unknown kit (white plastic sprayed with Molotow). This kit is so so. Inaccuracies. I had to cut off the headlights from the front bumper/grill/headlight assembly assembly to get the grill with the bumper onto the body. There are no outside mirrors with this kit either. Primed with black Createx sealer and painted with Createx Pearl Green. Cleared with Future, air brushed . Thanks for looking!!

Gluing Rearview Mirror on Windshield
TransAmMike replied to TransAmMike's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I did post this for my benefit and thought it would be helpful. I had some silicone type glue but but still had a problem with using too much and got a small blob (if that makes sense). But, it was sticky enough that it only took a few seconds holding it for it to stay in place.. I'll have to do better next time. -
Good looker there Craig.?
-
Very nice Bill. The '57 snap kit is a really good quick build kit. One down for me and another to come. Good work.
-
Welcome, good looking old "REAL" stock cars.
-
Wow Mike, that looks great? Non-Impala bubble tops are cool.
-
Great work on the Poncho John. Love the S/S'ers during the few years of their existance. You nailed the Pontiac and S/S vibe??

Stunning!! A true work of art Thomas??? -
Where do you GET inspiration?
TransAmMike replied to iBorg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Being a born at a time when my hot rodding interests started in the early muscle car years (early 60's) I'm prone to building muscle of the early 60's to early 70's and replicas of mine and my wife's former cars. Her first muscle car was a '66 GTO Convertable and mine a '66 Chevelle SS (bought new). Also, with my Dad having 3 different '57 Chevy Bel Airs (one a convertable, 2-2Dr hardtops of which on he gave me upon H.S. graduation) I have built a few with more to come. I do subscribe to Hemmings Muscle Car mag but as for reference it's the internet. -
As usual Mario, another masterpiece. If all that chrome is BMF you did a super job?
-
Well James we have something other than modelling in common. Big Allman Bro fan here too especially with Warren Haynes and Derik Trucks strumming and sliding? Our daughter is also a self taught guitar player. Has a John Mayer strat, another strat, Gretsch Electromastic, Martin Acoustic Electric and I play a little on Peavy bass and a Fender Acoustic bass.
