Dave, I noticed today a few "show us your" threads concerning a certain finished model group of cars.
I was thinking maybe there could be a new section added to the forum that would group these threads into one section. I just think it would be better so they would'nt be spread around in the WIP section .
What ya think?
Looking great JC, looking forward to future work. Got my first Porsche model kit (911 GT2 Road) a few weeks back but haven't got started on it yet so I like tolook at these Porsche builds as reference.
Man I know what you mean about the wheels. My favorites are the 5 spokes (Crager and Torque Thrust) and my stash has dwindled. I'm needing a set for the Cutlass I'll be building.
Well Snake, as for the GTO, I'm far from the accomplished model builder that a lot of guys' on here are, but that paint looks pretty thick so that's where the resto starts in my humble opinion.
Day two is definately in the cards for that one!!
I have had one of the GeeTooTiger kits for quite a while and really look forward to WIP posts on this one. The paint scheme on these cars is quite unique as the drivers side is different then the passenger side.
As I'm sure you already know Dan as far as the real car is concerened, in addition to the original 1:1 car back in "the day" there is a later version.
As far as the wheels on this build, won't need stock as I'm building it as I modified it in '71 with what I think I remember ( that was a long time ago and I have no pics) were either Crager or Torque Thrust 5-spokes. This car did come with poverty caps and Fireball Model makes a replica of them. Hmmm, I wonder if thats what I need to do.
Thanks guys, gotta get out to the garage and try your suggestions. I have a compresser (Harbor Freight) with a tank but I used the old tankless Campbell Hauseman compressor yesterday with my experiments.
It does have a number 5 needle. I'm assuming higher pressure with the thicker paint too. The compressor I was using is a tankless one but as I said the pressure kept bleeding off quickly.
