  1. Decals on and in the dehydrator before the last coat of clear. They are close and will be revealed at the same time. That color shift paint fought me every step of the way!
  2. Seats and shifters are all done. Going to be cool having them both done at the same time.
  3. Both set of tires and wheels are done, bodies in the dehydrator. The stock vs "Richard Carroll" type is mind blowing. In the home stretch for both Snake cars!
  4. A bit of a disaster on the Snake Bitten car, had a large area in the bottom have the paint lift on the last coat of paint. Had to order more color shift paint from MCW. Sanded down, started back from the base coat up through the stages. Looks like glass now. Had time to also work on the Box Stock version too. That one is Alclad Pale Gold and all the weird Red Chrome was stripped and painted Alclad Copper. Looking just like the box art. I guess this is why we "enjoy" doing this!
  5. The chrome on the body is Bare Metal Foil everything these is Alclad

  12. My Dominator dragster took 1st in Drag today in Erie PA!
  13. Not yet. It will get one more coat of the color shift Sunday. Then wet sand to 12000. Decals then MCW Enamel clear. Probably another week at least.
  14. Had to do a bit of repainting on the bottom of the primary build, so I thought it would be good to do a box stock class build of this kit so they show beside each other. All I need is time, lots of time.
  15. I’ll take pics tomorrow and share
  16. Great show tomorrow in Erie PA. I will post photos of the show after. Good luck to all attending.
  17. Wiring done on motor, carbs installed and a bit of interior done this morning. The finish line is a bit closer.
  18. The MCW color shift red/gold paint out in the sun. Pretty cool.
  19. I’m also doing an exact out of the box stock cover art now too so they will show next to each other. Tom Daniel kits are so fun and bring back memories to the 70’s building them
  20. First coat of final color. MCW color shift enamel. Different for sure.
  21. Tires painted, chrome on and curing and gloss black base color is down for the color shift paint. Even with the dehydrator, I wait at least 72 hrs to start wet sanding. Tomorrow is motor wiring and carbs….all 4 of them!
  22. There is a full pic and write up in the link above on this site. Should be all you need. Thanks
  23. The Bad Apple took 1st in Pickup class at ROCON in Rochester NY today
