  1. Believe it or not, Ebay is a pretty good source. Fireball model works (Fireballmodels.info) , Scenesunlimited, Morgan Automotive Detail are a few right off the top of my head. There are others.
  2. So Craig, what ya going back with?? If it were me, not DecoArt. And I'm not too sure about just thinning with pledge. Just me tho.
  3. Isn't it tho, love the old pictures!!
  4. Tho I'd probably never build such a car, the umpteen variations of the old drag cars is intriguing. Great reference for these cars is georgeklass.net. There are a crazy lot of pictures of them. Cool build Dan.
  5. Looks like about a '69 Mustang to me.
  6. Plenty of great looking cars in this thread, being a TransAm owner the T/A's are awesome of course. The "Bad Man" '55 looks great too.?
  7. Did you use the Deco Art? I used it on the Mustang model in progress and did'nt like how it looked so used some Anita's Metallic Black Craft I had previously and it went on smoother and actually with a bit of gloss.
  8. I get the "one and done" thing. I tend to do the same?
  9. Not to get into a Camaro vs Mustang vs Challenger "argument" here but my Daughters Ecoboost Turbo 4 is as fast as my 315HP 2002 WS6 TransAm if not faster. Just sayin. But nice car David, congrats!!
  10. Nice, looks great in white with the stripe, look forward to seeing it completed.
  11. Not sure what you're asking here Phil?
  12. Good looking Poncho, great job Jason.?
  13. I didn't realize Tamiya actually has 2 different tapes. Obviously the "Tape for Curves" is for, well, curves. The other is yellow. Is this tape as good as the white?
  14. Wow Phil, that's one wild and crazy Mustang. Welcome, a lot to be learned here (I know I have) from a lot of helpful forum members.
  15. Black Bare Metal Foil (if you're used to it) is another alternative. But, I find on the sheet I have, you can't burnish it down too much or the silver under the black shows thru.
  16. Thanks, and yes Craig it did spray and smooth out pretty darn good. I first sprayed it with Folkart or DecoArt (don't remember which one it was) and I really didn't like it as much as the Anita's Metallic Black. Really didn't want to do it metallic but I had previously sprayed a car with the Metallic and it looked good so I went ahead and used it again.
  17. Cool, and interesting to say the least.?
  18. I especially loved the big Pontiac interiors.
  19. Good info Tom, interesting about the filters.
  20. Yep, I agree with the others, very nice Bernie?
  21. I have the sub-assemblies completed. Trim foiling and decals then put her together. At first was gonna do aftermarket wheels but went ahead and decided use the as delivered ones. Only deviation from stock is the paint is Anita's Black Metallic craft paint over Krylon primer (the gold flakes are gold and very subtle). Cleared with Rustoleum Acrylic Laquer.
  22. Annnnnd another '63 Nova Wagon?. Looks good in red, nice job Rick.
  23. Awesome Rusty, looks great!!?
  24. Great job on that little guy Lee. One of my waaaaay too many cars 1:1 I owned was a standard 914 1.8. What a fun car to drive!!
