Has anyone thought of dyeing the plastic another color? There are ways to do this all over the web. I guess it would depend upon how deep the dye was absorbed into the plastic, but it might work as a barrier.

Nice to see you once again Dave. I remember you from that "other" place too.

That's looking great Tom, it's got a heck of a mean stance!

Great project RRR! Love that chop, it's looking really swoopy. This will make a great companion to that Mr. Speed funny car you did awhile back!

That's the only song by Muse that I really like. It's also one of my son's favorite groups. ?

That came together great! I love your choice of wheels/tires, especially the slicks. You've added some things not usually seen on a custom, like the roll bar and front rake, and of course your meticulous skills. I dig it Dennis. And I agree with RRR, do something with a Merc!

Yes, in California at least. I'm working on doing that this week. My son has been gifted a car, but has no license. I can insure it listing me as the driver.

I like it too! We don't see enough Hondas, nor this style of build. Bordeaux red is a favorite color of mine. ?

I've done that since I got my first airbrush in the 60's. It wasn't intentional-all we had in the house was lacquer thinner, and I'd been using it to clean brushes. Works great. I've even be known to dilute it 80/20 thinner to paint and blow on a quick final coat to get it real smooth and glossy. And yes I do know Don Yost does it this way. ?

I can see several problems with that shot from the rear. But, that windshield, ugggh.

Very nice Bernard, I love that side view! ?

"Getaway Driver" is a silly show, but it beats other things on Monday night TV. This guy won both rounds last night. Corvette powered.

I'm so glad to see you've finished this. What workmanship, this is pretty darn amazing. I love it! ?

I heard that Chris Walsh "The Glory Years Decals and Graphics" made them. I don't know if he still does. Good luck! facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1859313104091231 ebay: https://www.ebay.com/str/gloryyearsdecalsandgraphics?_trkparms=folent%3Agloryyearsdecalsandgraphics|folenttp%3A1&_trksid=p3542580.m47492.l74602

That kit's just begging for a few sheets of Bare Metal Foil ?

Looking good so far, except...?...that engine needs to go back almost a scale foot! IMO if you leave it where it is, the proportions are way off. If you decide to shorten the frame like Dave suggested, you might check the stock wheelbase on a '30. Anything shorter is going to look snub-nosed.

Great choice of color Dennis, it suits the mods and the wheels/tires perfectly!

Typically, the stock '34 frame would have been used under a '34 hot rod. If you're thinking in traditional terms, putting an earlier or later body on it, while uncommon, it could have been done. Back then many folks were building hot rods with what they could scrounge up. No problem with using the front suspension from the '32, but again, if you're thinking in traditional terms, and I-beam axle would be more common than the tube axle that comes in Revell's '32 kits.

Most of my youth was spent at the commercial slot car tracks, so I'm quite familiar with that sound. I might enjoy these electric race cars more if they were like slot cars...they should turn up the volume to 11! They're too quiet!

I like it! ?

Oh man, I remember this! Just can't remember what it is/was ?

I was blown away by this when I first heard it at the end of the Sons of Anarchy finale. Still gives me the chills!

I'm pretty sure it's 1/24th. Not positive if the scale is accurate because it was also a slot car and the dimensions may have been fudged to make room for the motor and brass frame.

I just read my email from Atlantis. Old folks like myself might be interested in these two. Send them an email or a thumbs up on Facebook if you want them!
