  5. I had no problem with that with using Microsol,what I was referring to was I make my own decals with an Inkjet printer and after printing I spray the paper with Tamiya flat clear to set the ink
  6. ...........bounced off the Diamond Reo and back on this,,,shot the clear,,,good thing I have ventilation! Installed the tandems and landing gear ,,,run the air bag and brake hoses next

  13. I was checking out Guaranteed Towing's Facebook page (I'm thinking about doing one of their wreckers) and found a pic of them at Englishtown Diesel Truckin' Nationals years ago
  14. I used white decal paper for the IH logos ,,I have a pack of both white and clear paper I got on Amazon for Ink jet ,,pretty good results with it so far,,I spray 3 light coats of Tamiya flat clear over them and let it sit a day before using
  15. Nice job Walter! I like those AWB Moebius kits too!
  16. I want to do something with my Fleetstar but that casting is damn thick ,, here's a pic of our old Fleetstar/Holmes wrecker my Dad bought new in 70 ,,,now rusting away in a farmers field last tagged 1991 ,I painted that truck with Imron around 1982 ,,,paint held up pretty good!
  17. That thing is sweet ! Great job! The butterfly hood looks great!!! ,,, probably open because it has an exhaust manifold leak ...lol ....my gut hurts already thinking about leaning over the fender ?
