It is. Didn't think this one would see the assembly stage. Thanks for coming by.

The paint has been air drying for 48 hrs now and I just stuck it in the Dehydrator at 122° for 1 1/2 hrs. It should be plenty dry after that. I got some of the detail work finished such as headlights and turn signals, dash, radiator hose, etc. I'm trying to decide if a I want to wet sand the body or just give it a good waxing.

That looks pretty kewl.

That business end is starting to take shape. Looking pretty good there Jim.

Thanks fellows. Oh, I would never put anything of mine in at that high of a temperature. I always set mine around 105° to 115°. I was just curious as to why Plash Paints would put that on the website.

I've got a question fellows. I use the 2K Urethane Clear from Splash Paints. I always let it dry for 3 days before handling it. Their website says to let it set for 72 hrs or put in a Dehydrator for 1 hr at 140 degrees. I would think that high of heat would start to warp the plastic. Anyone use this high of a setting?

Pretty sharp looking Dragster.

Pretty kewl looking build so far.

Killer looking chopped 32 and the V12 just sets it off nicely.

Thank's man.

Much obliged DJ.

Man...just a Super kewl looking build there Luke. I'm diggin the wheels man. That just looks so clean. Another keeper Buddy.

The temp this morning was 84° with 55% humidity so I shot the Splash Paints 2K Urethane Clear on this morning. I shot my test spoon first just to make sure there was no issues with the Tamiya TS-14 Black and the Splash Paints 2K clear. I really like this clear as it helps to hide minor issues. I'll let this set for 3 days then wet sand and polish it. The worst part is over so I think I'm out of the woods. Boy oh boy this has been a rough one to paint.

Thanks Carl. Not done just yet. Still have to get the 2K clear on it.

Now that's looking pretty kewl Chuck. I like that Big ole 460 in the business end. Nice build.

Nice looking model room Roger. You don't need no stinkin job, just model man ?

Thanks Luke. Yeah, I think the red & black is going to look nice.

Oh yeah Luke. You gotta finish that one. Bad looking ride dude.

I hear ya man. Sometimes things just don't work out.

Thank's for chiming in Mozzi. Acually I've been using off the shelf lacquer thinner to thin the Tamiya paints for some time now and it works nicely for me. I had contacted Tamiya some time back and ask about the dry time for their X-22 clear and why it took so long to dry. I was told by Tamiya that their team suggested off the shelf lacquer thinner. Sounds kinda strange but true. I like using the XF Military colors with clear over it as it gives a more true look of how cars looked back in the day. At any rate, I think I have the problem under control and punching forward. Thanks dude.

Two Great looking Willy's drag cars. I just love these kits.

Pretty kewl looking Drag car Scott. Nicely done.

Fantastic looking Ranchero Gasser. Nice build man.

I hear ya man. Thanks man. I do appreciate it.

Thanks. Yeah, me to.
