I'm Always paranoid about that happening. Crummy luck. The wife has these little mesh drain covers, I still go as far as to use two large Tupperware containers, one to soak, one to rinse. Carpal tunnel and nerve problems in my neck make my dominant hand useless at times, so it's "belt and suspenders" for me. Any idea why the epoxy didn't hold?

Could this be of use, it's resin from iceman.

Nice setup you got going, lots of space. How do you vent your paint booth? Is that a filter it's on?

Her voice I find annoying, but the song gets to the point Dumbest-things-on-wheels.mp4

I try to paint the surface as it lays on the car, if that makes sense. Your distance, pattern, travel speed and pressure will come into play, and sometimes that's just not possible possible. I have a few(4) different airbrush types/styes I experimented with till I found what worked for me. The solvent crazing is/can also be what you're seeing.

I'm in the same boat. "If I knew then what I know now"...

The subject I would most like to build never existed, so I've been told, and the closest one avaliable has been modified into a dirt tracker kit, so I'm in a similar situation. Maybe one day I'll build it. Good luck with your search, I hunt flea markets and the like, if I ever see one, I'll grab it up.

I was curious, and checked ebay, and the prices were crazy. I seen almost 200 dollars for a kit, and old promos at 50, not so bad. I'm not well educated in the value/cost of rare kits, so there's that.

Freiburger talked about this on a recent video on this YouTube channel, traveling distance is his biggest challenge with a few of the other guys. I think it would be awesome to see them back messing around. He's been doing "historical road trips" on his channel. Still interesting content.

Any old cords, scraps of wire ( both solid and braided) ect. Basically free if it's lying around. Not sure offhand what sizes work at 1/16 scale, I build 1/24-25. Home depot and the like will have thin fairly stiff wire for mending up fences and the like, word to the wise if go this route, anything that is galvanized emits nasty fumes when heated, so choose wisely. Perhaps old "coax" cable wire could be of some use to you.

Welcome to the forum

That's gonna be perfect. It's just the right amount old school and custom.

This has been parked at the local detailing shop for years, usually blocked by a f350. 40's g.m. I think, not very well versed in those years. There's also a couple late 60's big caprice or impala tucked around back. You can just get a glimpse of those driving by.

This just keeps getting better. Nice work on the front end. We know it'll handle now.

My stepfather's 68 had the hideaways, I believe those were vacuum, though. I'll save your site to pass along, I know quite a few people with projects.

Really nice, I've learned They have a few really cool features. Like the gauge lighting. I think it's called electro-illumination? Actually radioactive paint. Crazy cool.

Good size space for work, starting to come together for you.

Beautiful charger, does that have the full length center console?

Very unfortunate. House fires are one of those things that permanently change people. I've seen a few of those e.v. fires in videos, it's insane how fast they they get out of control. I feel for those people, it's two weeks till Christmas.

Thank you for the compliment. This is my first full build back to the hobby since childhood, I've got a few others I started about 2 months before I joined the forum. I seen the builds and levels members take their project to and decided to give it a shot. Your gto is beautiful, I assume you had similar issues with the chrome and shallow details with the kit? I'm going for a bit of a day two build. I haven't shelved it, waiting on bare metal foil, experimenting with a rubber color(because I've limited myself to craft paints only) made a coil for it in a very sketchy way and actual time at the workbench. 70 hour work weeks right now.

A friend of mine cleaned out a property last summer, ended up taking this cadillac "limousine" for a friend of his. I don't know much about the car, other than it was rough, but seemed to be complete. Still had all the woodwork, drivers partition and the foot stools that stored under the front seat. These are the only 2 pics I have. There was also a Lasalle fire truck on the property.

I had blue Jay's nesting above the garage door at work a few years back, very territorial little blanks. Either scream or dive bomb you at every chance.

Good eye.

Welcome to the forum Derek.

I like where you're going with this. Very nice work on the chassis.
