  1. Loeb is still dominating. 5 straight Championships.
  2. Colin McRae. Win or crash trying.
  3. WRC is struggling in '09, but the S2000 rules in '10 will help. IRC is great!
  4. I didn't get there till 11:15 or so. We bought some fine American groceries first.
  5. Loot from the Detroit Area Auto Modelers contest. Couple Flintstone bodies, 25T, Cruisin USA series 51 Chevy for the collection....
  6. Going to look out for that and give it a try.
  7. ~Maybe~ on the gray. I come from a custom photofinishing lab background, and i've found gray primers are close to something we called 18% gray. That's a gray used in backdrops we used that would neither absorb nor repel (ie: alter) colors and density (light/darkness). 18% gray is a perfect balance in PHOTOGRAPHY, but with paints it seems to differ.....and I think that has to do with the density (micas/flakes of solids) suspended IN the paint.
  8. It'll punch up the white nicely, but you don't HAVE to. I find clear-coated stuff easier to polish and keep dust off of.
  9. I always use a WHITE PRIMER. Base primers are gray, but Tamiya White primer finish coat. Colors seem truer to the cap to me with this method.
  10. Hmmmm......there's 2 GT-R's at work ( belonging to doctors ).......maybe i'll get a kit to keep up.
  11. Looking forward to the 5 Window and the 36 Ford. I assume the 64 1/2 Mustang is the Pace Car re-issued.
  12. THOSE are sweet, Fujimi! Also, I got a Black Widow Chevy 150 this week. Common Kit build for our Downriver MCC this year.
  13. Looks really cool in person as well !
  14. Thank you, sir. LOTS of nice stuff. That pink Chevy is really sweet!
  15. Glad you were there. It was one of the more quiet meetings if you ask me. Hope you come back !
  16. It was in the closer to the road half of the parking lot up the middle row.
  17. Revell 1/6th scale Ford 427 SOHC motor
