  1. Got brakes, axles and spindles installed. Front wheels are glued in place. Got a little tweaking to do for final body alignments. The engine is ready to go in once the driveshaft is made. We're without power since Friday morning at 8:15-ish. So I'm working by flashlight ? Please disregard the mess.
  2. B E A U T I F U L ! ! ! ! !
  3. Alclad Magnesium for the chassis/interior and grille surround. This stuff is EEEAASSSY to use! I think ALL of the ugly has been removed from the grille ?
  4. I see guys do that, and I can see doing it on some builds, but, I remember going to car shows and seeing folks Armorall the treads on the tires on show cars.
  5. Got the dash installed and the chassis/interior primered. I hope to finish this guy soon!
  6. Little progress this weekend.
  7. Anyone else into 1:25 scale drag racing? I put this together 17-ish years ago to race with my oldest son. That place closed up some time ago. I have recently learned of another track in the area. It's fun ?

  8. Looks FABULOUS! Maybe we can get these 2 together for a cruise night! I used MCW Tahitian Turquoise.
  9. Oh Yeah. I dig these trucks. I've built a few. I named this one Pearly Gates.
  10. Or, you can reach for the sky! This is HEMIFRIED. Everything needs a blown Hemi in it! House Of Kolor Hellfire paint.
  11. Hack and whack until you're satisfied ?
  12. That is GREAT information to have!
  13. I painted the drums with the same paint as the flames.
  14. I've got a temp in until the replacement arrives ?
  15. Yes
  16. Soooo, ya know the aluminum pins that come in this kit for the drums? I dropped one and it has bounced to oblivion ? what are some solutions to this dilemma?
  17. There was a remark earlier about the grille being "ugly". I think I'm well on my way to removing said ugly. ?
  18. I like it ?
  19. I had initially thought bright red for the interior and finned drums. I don't think that will look right with the flames. I'm going to play with gray and turquoise this evening ?
  20. That's an ?!
