Your Charger RT is looking good so far. Looking forward to see how your paint process turns outs.

Real nice job Phil. I love the old Willy's Gassers. I have a thread going on mine and just about to finish it up.

Thanks. You've got this.....you always do.

Nice looking 300. I like the color.

Well....after multiple attempts and knocking the tail lights off a couple times I finally go the foil to stick. Not only was the foil not wanting to stick to the trim it kept tearing when burnishing it down with a Q Tip. Both sides has a few extra strips where it tore and I had to replace it. That's as good as it's going to get, I'm not messing with it anymore. Just found out the hood doesn't fit as good as it did early on. Not sure what happened but it's a little late now.

Looks pretty darn good to me. That red pops. Nice job.

That's a looker Gary. That deep blue looks really nice and clean.

Nice looking Jaguar. Like Chaz mentioned....the hood straps look great. NIce work on the interior.

Nice save on that Vette Snake. The wheels & tires look nice.

That clear gives it a nice shine. TS-13?

Thanks. I appreciate the comment.

Thanks man.

That's a good looking pair and what a nice job.

That is a super clean Chaparral. Time well spent. Great job on the build.

Thanks Ray. Getting close to the finish line as long as I don't get another honey do project thrown at me.

I got the glass in and the foil work done on the hood. I was looking at pics of the Big John Mazmanian Willy's and I did not see any chrome or even a seal on the glass. I did outline the windshield in black.

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.
