    You sure have a way with black paint! Great work, I love this as I do the others youve posted.
  2. Good grief Greg, there's a lot of carnage there. My Dad told me a story of attending an AAA dirt track race. One of the guys went thru the guardrails. He was impaled by a two by four. My Dad said he found a saw and cut the two-by so the driver could be removed. No surprise he did not make it. The safety regulations today are such a positive thing in the motorsports world, but those guys "in the day" had balls that cannot be compared to anyone today.
  3. I dont remember how, but I stuck an X-Acto knife in the back of my thumb just above the knuckle. Interestingly, when I pulled the knife out the bade remained in my thumb.
  4. Thats gorgeous, I hadn't seen anyone do this color scheme yet. Love it!
  5. Before bare metal foil came out, I hand painted all of the trim. If there was a particularly tough place, like a car length piece of side trim, I would mask it off. Worked great!
  6. Im jealous. All my goodwill and saint vincents has is a plethora of soiled baby clothes, broken furniture, and disgusting kitchen ware.
  7. Improper ride height, wheelbase, or track. Certain styles of cars do NOT sit like a 4x4. Front wheels that are past the fenders arent cool, nor is it nice to see a beautifully built car where the wheelbase is way too short, putting the front wheels in the back end of the fender opening. Ride height is a topic of its own.....yet its funny how much people ignore this stuff and praise the builders like they are the next best thing to sliced bread. I'd rather see an average build that sits "just right" than an over the top build that sits like..................ya know the word! Wont mention any names....................
  8. More fantastic work Ken. Did you ever get all of the decals to finish your late model?
  9. Flintstone makes a resin Pacer Promod. http://www.ebay.com....5-/200304499285
  10. NICE! That paint work is beautiful, and I like those wheels and tires on it, something different!
  11. Great job, I dig how you did the hood!
  12. Wow, I really dig that! Jaymar bodies are a challenge for sure. Great job on this one, I love to see any Holdens in model form, and you did this one great justice!
  13. Wow, thats beautiful, such an awesome job! I love the color! I gave up on painters touch, for me, it took weeeeeeks to dry!

    Supra

    Love the stock Supra wheels, Id like to see you keep them as is. Also love the ride height, keep up the good work!
  15. Immaculate workmanship! So far so good!
  16. Woah, Jason, that's freakin' ugly! Maybe if you added some booze to the fumes it would have come out better! I
  17. Dig those taillights and the matching cones on the front wheels!
  18. I like it too!
  19. I think the Orange Crate was in this series too, watered down as a street car.
  20. Gonna repeat, but I've heard how good the '58 is, on multiple boards. This discussion has wetted my appetite for one!
  21. Harry is right. Shall I repeat it? The prices are not market driven, its all about futures. Without getting too technical, the production is up while the demand is down. The future buyers are counting on a glut in production with an increase in demand. We patriotic Americans know what to do, period. In my town, we were faced with an alternative, conserve 10% of our water or face penalties. We showed the powers that be, and conserved 20% of the water. We can do it, if D.C. gets out of the way. I should mention, that after conserving TWICE the water they asked for, we got notice that because East Bay Muni. Water Distric did not make enough money during the drought, they had to raise our rates. I went from $35 a quarter, to over $50 a quarter. WE gotta stand up, like the film "Network... and say IM not gonna take it anymore! My avocation is politics, I know we shant discuss here, but if anyone wants to debate, Im willing off the board.
  22. I sorta "lost it" when it was posted at another place, but it deserves more "props" because it is such a fantastic transformation! Everything is so right, the craftsmanship is outstanding, and that grille just makes it!
