  1. James, The little grocery getting is coming along Buddy.
  2. Any time I need to remove the chrome to paint, I just grab some of the wifes bleach off the washer. Strips it clean in a couple hrs.
  3. I used pill bottles on my first attempt at turning a 56 Ford pickup into a Pro Street. The AMT 67 Chevelle Pro Street and AMT 66 Nova Pro Street chassis are used a lot under various kits. I used the 67 Chevelle chassis under the AMT 55 Chevy to Pro Street it. More than one way to skin a cat. I'm still learning myself.
  4. Thanks Dave. I'm nearing the end on this build.
  5. My last paint job on my 37 Ford pickup I used the Tamiya acrylic X-22 clear shot through my airbrush. I mixed it 2-1 with Mr. Color Leveling thinner. Turned out great.
  6. Great looking Diorama. That Torino has some serious meats on the back. I like how this ole boy is parted right in a no parking zone. Nice job.
  7. Nice looking Ford. Great color and just a nice build. I'm liking this one.
  8. Thanks Carl. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
  9. Thanks man. Those tubes look pretty nice.
  10. Thanks. My 37 is pretty custom so I think it will work out fine.
  11. Thanks. I did use the solder Dave. I was going to paint it black but I thought it looked fine.
  12. I got Most of the Flatty assembled this morning and did a trail fit in the chassis.
  13. Nice looking 67 Camaro. I'm like you, I like the 1st generation cars and trucks. I really like the wing windows in the 67. Nice looking interior. It's coming together nicely.
  14. That's a Looker James. Great looking little grocery getter. Love that blue. I really like the old fat fender trucks. Wife and I have a 49 so I'm really diggin this man.
  15. That just looks pretty kewl. The weathering on all the steel looks pretty convenceing. All the detail work looks super nice. I don't normally look in the Dioramas section but this is one that everyone needs to see. Great job.
  16. Fantastic build. Great looking color and attention to detail. Nicely done.
  17. Good looking 67 Impala. That white interior really goes well with the body color. Nice build.
  18. Nice. Cant wait to see this one start coming together.
  19. Thanks man. Yeah, I'd say the wet coats did the job.
