Coming together nicely. The license plate would make for some interesting questions. Easy enough fix.

Not the kind of creature you want around small kids or pets. Usually I don't mind snakes,I'd make an exception for that one. You're neighbor's dog deserves a steak.

I'm relatively new to a lot of products and techniques, I paint wheels and tires similar to what you've shown, and exactly what you're saying is what's happening. On a whim I've started looking into other products, just in case. I do research into pros and cons with the products I use, and molotow, while nice is fragile. I've seen the alclad, the sms hyperchrome is a new one. Any drying time isn't really a concern, I'm patient. Those look great, thanks for posting up the pictures.

I have limited time to build, so it will sit anywhere from 2-3 days to a few weeks. I also handle it as little as possible and clean hands are a must. Other's have said they use white gloves, I should get some.

I'll definitely give this a shot. Thanks.

I'm trying to airbrush some wheel trim rings, can not get an even finish for the life of me. No real way to hold the part and spin it, like how I would a wheel or tire, and I keep ending up with that hazy spot that molotow leaves when sprayed too lightly. How do you all go about spraying something shaped this way? Picture of the part and how I'm "holding" them. Already stripped and need to start over. Thanks in advance 👍👍

Got the engine wired and did a little weathering. Also got the wheels/tires painted and the chrome stripped and shot with molotow. The trim rings for the wheels are giving me fits. I cannot get an even finish no matter what i do.

I know the feeling, I've had trees take out the lines on multiple occasions. And the cost of removal isn't great either. At least you got some piece of mind now.

My absolute favorite nissan. Very nicely done.👍👍

Great work. Even the bare chassis' are a work of art with these cars.👍👍

I grabbed one up a while ago, haven't even opened it yet. Thanks for posting the pics,it looks to be a very nice kit. 👍 👍

Looking good, unfortunate that Murphy stopped by for a visit. I'm really liking that color combination

The woodchuck is a regular, i don't see many rabbits here at work. To think about it, I've never seen any at the house,either. I've never been able to get as close to a wild one as I got this morning.

Saw a rabbit and woodchuck as I was walking into work this morning. I got within 5 feet of the rabbit, it didn't seem afraid of people, just kinda trotted away after seeing me.

I was able to finish up installing new directional lights on my wife's motorcycle. It's nice when a tap will actually cut a thread.

Some of my first exposure to metal was Black Sabbath and Ozzy. Rest in peace Ozzy.

Chinesium grade thread taps. These things couldn't cut a thread in a stick of butter.

That engine is a work of art.

I with the price of tires, especially good ones, I can't blame you. The tire wear must be a gm thing, mine does the same with a good alignment, tight front end and rotation. Must be driving style.

It happens. Too hard on the brakes, lock the back tire. Probably a new rider. At least they were ok.

I can't really complain service wise, we've had some serious weather related issues that slammed the whole area, at that point you do what you can do. We do have the random black out when a sub station or transformer gives up, i chalk that up to maintenance schedule and age of equipment. What gets me is it cost me twice as much in service and delivery fees than actual kw/h used. To me that's just another name for a tax.

Amazing build and a great story. Beautiful 72 ford. 👍👍
