Thanks for the video Dave. I have the Passhe H airbrush and I have sprayed Testors once before. Not on a body but I sprayed the bumpers on a 56 pickup. I will differently give this a shot next time around.

I got the 41 Willy's wet sanded and polished this morning. The wet sanding (after curing for 5 days) wet fine on the Rust-Oleum lacquer clear. This is what I was a little worried about. I was a little disappointed in the final results of my paint and clear coat. The products worked fine it's just my lack of skills I guess.

Ok boys and girls, I got the Willy's wet sanded and polished this morning. I was a little disappointed. I was thinking it would have come out better. I stayed away from all the high spots because I did not want to burning through. Looks like it still has some orange peel. Starting from left to right are the polishes I used and grit of sand paper. Give me your comments and don't hold back. I need to know what I need to improve on.

Nice looking cop car. Great build.

I forgot all about the TV show. Nice build.

Nice looking project. It's coming along nicely.

Thanks for the comments James and Stephen, they are greatly appreciated.

What weight line should a fellow be looking for?

Great looking models. Times have changed. This is the elctronic age. Back in my day.....there were no Mall's so all the kids I knew rode bicycles or made tree houses. It wasn't until I got my first job (thinning peach tree's at an archard) at 16 and I aquired my grandfathers car (1957 Studebaker) that I was able to venture out and see other parts of the city. Long story short....I found a hobby shop that had a slot car track inside so that is what my brother and I would do every weekend. I actually bought a model kit by mistake one time thinking it was a slot car. That kinda started the ball rolling so to speak. Since I've been on this forum I have only read about a father and son (or daughter) doing a build together. I guess it's just not something young folks do now a days.

That is one sweet little S10. Love the color and all the detail work. Great job.

Kewl looking little 41 Willy's. I guess it could be Stone, Woods, & Zinger.

Thanks Carl

Well shiver me timbers....that's one fine looking ship. Aye, Aye....I like it.

Thanks. I'll take a look next time I'm there.

I know this is an old thread but nice build Dave. Our family Dentist buys and restores these old 1:1 Honda Trail 70 mini bikes and other old bikes as well. He had a 2 story building built just to display all 200+ bikes he has resotred. He even keeps a couple inside the denist office. I was thinking about putting one together to give to him to display in the dentist office.

Looking pretty good TJ.

Great looking Funny car Ray. It looks mean and ready to rock.

Coming together nicely Jason.

That looks pretty good Daniel. Did you find it locally or have to order it online?

Job well done. Outstanding paint job and attention to detail.

I think your Vette looks just fine the way it is. Save your p!edge for another project. I did do a spoon test some time back where I painted 3 spoons red and cleared all three. I use Rust-Oleum clear gloss, Tamiya TS-13, and Pledge Revive It. They all looked pretty close. The paint and clear was air brushed.

Going to be one trick looking ride.

Fantastic looking. That yellow makes the car. Great job.

Nice looking little Ferrari. Nice build.

Pretty kewl little dune buggy.
