  1. I pulled the 56 out of the Purple pond and sprayed it down with some Easy-Off. It seem to work pretty fast on the 60 Ranchero so we'll see how it works on the 56. As soon as it's stripped down I can get the tubs glued in and start working on the front suspension.
  2. Looking good Tim. Don't wait til I'm on the wrong side of the sod to get this one finished ☺
  3. Thanks Alan. Yup.....famous words of Forest Gump, "Sh*t Happens". Probably have to wait for some weather over degrees.
  4. That's going to be a good looking Chevrolet Eric.
  5. Nice collection of cars/trucks for the year.
  6. Now that's a good looking Charger. Like those red line tires. Nice clean looking engine bay. Well done.
  7. That looks nice and tidy there Pat. I really like that shade of green against the black fenders. Really nice detail work. Nice job.
  8. Mario...you've been holding out on us. Really nice pair of Bugs and the photos are outstanding.
  9. Great looking Willys Gasser Jim. Built one myself a while back.
  10. Nice looking Chevy Mario. I like the decals.
  11. Good looking Cameo. The weathering Looks pretty kewl. I like how the box is a different color than the cab and front fenders.
  12. Now that's a Hot Rod James. Turned out great. I like the tool box and gas can in the back.
  13. Stopped by the hobby shop today and my 51 Henry J came in ☺☺☺
  14. I got out the airbrush today and sprayed the Ranchero. Not sure what happened but it was a disaster. It was 53 degrees and the humidity was at 49%. The finish come out looking like and orange. I sprayed it the same way I sprayed the 34 Ford Modified in red so not sure what happened. Could have been the weather I guess. I did get one bank of the engine (I'm calling it a 302) wired. I may have to wait til Spring to do any more airbrushing.
  15. Turned out pretty good Miles. Color looks great.
  16. Me to Kyle. I like to be a little different. I built this one (box Stock) earlier this year and when I started this project I got to thinking about this one.
  17. I have a 56 Ford truck I'm painting flat white and was thinking of using the TS65 Pearl Clear. Anybody have a pic of this Pearl Clear over flat white?
  18. Thanks Kyle. Right now the body is in the Purple Pond. I did some research and I have choosen a new color. I'm thinking about a flat white with a clear pearl on top of that. All the bumpers and trim will be black or gunmetal. Somthing along the lines of the 56 in the pics.
  19. That was rough at the start Snake but what a turn around. Looking good.
  20. Nice looking Hiboy Alan. My wife gave me one of her Very soft facual brushes that she uses (an excuse to buy a new one I guess) and I use that to brush off the dust before I take pics. I think our models are dust magnets because by the time I take pics I see dust again. Once again....good looking Hiboy and nice color.
  21. Looks 100% better. Going to be a nice build.
  22. Not my style of car to build but boy that looks pretty sharp. Should be a nice build. Those Tamiya kits just looks so nice and the packaging is second to known. I'll be keeping an eye on this build.
