  1. Thanks for the info on the headlight assembly. I do see how it shows trimming around the opening. I was thinking about just cutting the headlights off the grill and attaching them separately. Anyway, again, you did a super nice job on it. Your foiling work looks great. I don't know if the drip rails on yours were moulded well but on mine about half is almost non-existant.
  2. Looks great Tom. Finishing up one right now. You said no fitment issues....so how did you get the front bumper/headlight/grill put on? Mine doesnt fit like the lousy instructions say to do it?
  3. Good tips here. I have been using point of tooth pick. Slow and tedious but usually comes out OK. Gotta try that #11 blade trick.
  4. Lotta great work there Jim. Seeing that hot rod Chevy Stovebolt gives me an idea for an old '53 Corvette kit I have laying around tha tI've been wanting to de as a gasser. Now I just need the engine. Cool build?
  5. Yep Scott....nailed it. Pretty shade of orange. What paint and clear you use??
  6. Looking good there James...that body looks really cool in purple!!
  7. If anyone is interested Harts Parts has non bumper guard bumpers and flat hood in resin. Bumpers would have to be Molotowed....or other chrome of your choice.
  8. Ha, from one retired Mike to another....ENJOY!!
  9. 1100 Porsche' s and 189 Bentleys. Maybe someone can post a link to the story.
  10. A bit of nostalga for me with the pic of the black one. Dead ringer down to the red lines and hub caps of my first new car. Picked it up at the dealership in Metarie, LA in September of 66. Was one of the last production '66 SS's. As for the model, Just wish it didn't have the gawd aweful bumper guards.
  11. Thanks for the review Erik. It will continue to be BMF for me.
  12. Really good looking '68 John. Grrr8 color!!
  13. My airbrush has a #3 tip. Sprayed the Future at around 25-28 psi. I'm far from an expert at air brushing but the results were good. I just did a couple light mist coats, let each dry a few minutes in front of a space heater (hair dryer works too) then wetter coats drying between coats. For me, letting each clear coat dry a minute or so, using the hair dryer smooths out orange peel.
  14. Looks good James. I don't think you said what paint the purple is. By the way, I cleared my current '70 Chevelle build painted with Createx pearl with Future (I still have a good bit of the original stuff) and it came out great.
  15. Welcome to the crew here from middle Tennessee.
  16. Yep Michael, cool Pontiacs, for me especially the '66?
  17. I know, not my thing either but there are those that do leave them that way.
  18. Engine looks great... Actually, it looks really cool with the body sanded and the primer spots showing.
  19. Thats some impressive work there Perry?
  20. Looking good there Buddy, interior came out great!!
  21. Oh Mario, you just keep the beauties coming. Gorgeous paint?
  22. Sorry to keep bugging you about this Roger, but do you know what size the round is on the '40.
  23. Thanks for the info. Turns out, it appears Evergreen must not make the .020 half round anyway. Guess I'll have to give the round a shot.
  24. I agree Roger, I too would not try until some reviews. Look interesting tho.
