The test of a good build is how long it lasts. This is 3 years old. Zed is a master, and we could all learn from him. Visit Koolest Kruzers to see how awesome Zed is!
Since this got bumped up, freakin awesome, once again Curt! I think you should migrate up north a few miles so I can absorb your talent, LIke seriously, we shouild get together!
Ira, I love this, and I am being patient. Give me a break Im a nor cal guy and we love instant gratification.YOU KNOW that heeheehe I like this so much I am scannning ebay for deals wheels, I want to see it on the ground!
The slot car guys use them to polish scratchbuilt brass rod and piano wire frames. I've seen the results, and I think it would be too tough on plastic. Maybe with something like baking soda, perhaps it could work. I would certainly negate the need to sand before primer.
The first version of the kit, released in the 80's, maroon with scallop decals was billed as a 1950. I never noticed until now that the Police version is labelled '49!
I like ebay. One has to be patient, and realize that almost everything comes back around. I have seen these roadster chassis speed equipment packs go for over $30. I had this in my stash, and got a second one last week for $1.99. Heck in my neck of the woods coffee at Starbucks is $2.25.
I accidentally shrunk a tire by leaving it in brake fluid for awhile. I dont remember what the tire was made of, but I was surprised, and filed the info for later reference.
Whoa, thats slick! I really like the body colored bumpers and wheels. That and the solid black paint takes it out of the normal lowrider realm. I dig it, Luke!
