  2. Thanks man. I'm looking at shooting the clean on Friday weather permitting.
  3. Aye aye, captain. Thanks man.
  4. I appreciate your input.
  5. I knew you'd dig it Buddy.
  6. Super nice looking man and the paint looks nice and smooth.
  7. Thanks and thank you for your service. Yup, once I get the Tamiya X-22 clear on it will get wet sanded and polished.
  8. Thanks Steve. Yeah, this paint job fought me all the way but I wipped it into submission ?
  9. I am really diggin this 36 Ford Coupe TJ. The wheels & tires look the part man. Got a color in mind?
  10. Ok fellows, I had a small window this morning where the humidity dropped below 60% so I fired up the airbrush and got some paint on the 55 Nomad body. I think it turned out really nice. There is a little bit of trash in the paint but I'll wet sand that out before I shoot the clear on later this week. This is the Testor's paint (Gloss Sunburst) in the small bottle mixed 50/50 with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner shoot at 35 psi.
  11. Thanks Mario. I've got a 60 Ranchero I'm looking at to repurpose into a Gasser.
  12. I can't remember if I posted anything about this before but I had this site bookmarks as it interested me. This fellow machines engines and accessories for a very reasonable price. Has anyone purchased one of his engines as I'm interested in the Top Fuel Dragster Engine Kit that's made out of Pewter & Aluminum and sells for $22.95. If you have any pics that would be great. https://scalereprosplus.com/
  13. Thanks Steve. I have a lot of little die cast on my shelf and when I was doing a test fit of the wheels & tires and the engine I thought it kinda looked like one of the little Muscle cars.
  14. That 55 Mercedes looks really nice but out of my pay grade. The black will look really nice. I'll be watching this one.
  15. Holy smokes Mario, you brought out your "A" game on this one. Just a Great looking 31 Ford that has sat in the desert for years wasting away. The weathering looks spot on man. Super job on this one.
  16. I appreciate your comment Doyle. I thought it turned out pretty neat looking.
  17. Great looking Stock Car. Very clean build and the business end is detailed really nice. Fantastic build.
  18. Nice looking group of cars there Tim.
  19. Man I gotta tell ya....that's a Looker for sure. Those colors are spot on. What paint is the body colors and I'm also curious about the Revell spray chrome. Was that sprayed right over the box chrome? If so, it may be worth the $35 a can.
  20. Like Jonathan said, once you trim this baby out it should start looking killer and make the colors pop.
  21. I like this Hudson build. Looking pretty sharp David. I see this kit at the hobby shop all the time just haven't picked one up.
  22. That 911 Carrera is looking pretty slick James. I think I've seen this kit at HL just never picked one up. That Tamiya X-15 green looks pretty sharp. Jay's ( https://www.ebay.com/str/jaysfashions1948 ) has some killer wheels & tires for the 911.

    Lemon Crate

    Lemon Crate looks pretty kewl. Is that a 40 Ford?
  24. That engine looks pretty sharp David. How did your script turn out?
  25. This thread is almost 3 years old but any good looking Pro Street is worth taking another look at. Very different but looks pretty kewl.
