  1. Nice build anyways! Where does everyone get the master cylinders and such ??.
  2. From an old man, you can't rebuild or improve memories. Consider gentle repairs before "fixing".
  3. Wow michelle,Michelle, really build them quick and often. Cuda looks sharp
  4. Thanks everyone. I have been having extreme troubles with paint lately. I airbrushed the wagon 5 times. R/t gave up on craft paint, shot it with rustolium, it cam out like a firehose. Interior the paint either gummed or wouldn't cover. Craft or enamel, brushed or air...... that's why I say final. Unless they come out with level 4/5 70 chevelle, 69 gto or a scout 800 anyway.
  5. Thanks. I like to build them as oem or like we drove them.
  6. I've used diluted iron oxide craft paint, steel wool soaked in vinegar or black wash. Always over flat black paint. My under glass posts show undersides.
  7. While I do enjoy seeing everyone's builds that show me how inept I still am,I'm really here for HELP. I've used air but with ink rarely with paints. Use craft paints diluted 1:1 water. 20 lbs air. Plugs,spits or floods. Swirl in jar,in coats then fades to translucent to clean fairly quickly. Bought a nylon coffee strainer,paint barely drains through it. Should it pour right through it ? Had drill on high to mix, created massive bubbles. Assuming THAT caused issues with spray. Back on low ,just mix NOT blend..... I tried alcohol once but the paint turned to gum ,so afraid of that unless I test with small amounts I guess. Any answers or opinions ??
  8. Nice job ! Can it be built without the spoiler? I had a 69 silver gto convertable I would love to build.
  9. Sorry, I started it here because I was looking for the scout 800.
  10. Finished it, happy with my building but paint is still killing me. I like craft paint in airbrush but still learning the hard way. I ended up with this,rustoleum all surface spray. It came out like a fire hose,I had overspray 6 feet around me.
  11. I am so glad I follow your thread. EXCELLENCE!! I wanted to build this particular rig in the worst way. I almost picked it up last month. Reading through your build diary, I realize I am no where near ready or capable of doing the big rigs yet. Thanks for posting your progress,tips and information, it is all very informative!
  12. Ok,for the hardtop. No wonder it didn't make sense. Thanks
  13. Thanks,I just thought because you built one ,maybe you would know. I guess they are arm rests that AREN'T needed.
  14. Ken, do you have any idea ??
  15. Not armrests, front and rear have them molded in. The backs do have pins.
  16. 2 fill pieces (think 21 on sprue. 50,51 look like left,right shaped. No mention in instructions and I don't see any place they could go. Any ideas
  17. Kit was fine but ,I kept doing stupid mistakes and glue would not cooperate....wanted to do heater hoses but give up.maybe later....
