  1. from the 1:1 world, a little heat does wonders. (hair drier) to help with shrinking it around curves, and always leave it a bit big and trim after it dries. also takes 2-3 days in the sun (on a 1:1) to dry.
  2. also, if you know any firemen or emts they could get a couple for you if you ask nice.
  3. Hey Len, When I started mine, I sprayer the shop floor area with gray primer and felt it looked really good/close to concrete painted gray. I also considered recreating an epoxy covering with fleckstone paint and a logo buried under a bunch of clear, lots of layers of future .
  4. David, Those are very sweet! Ive always liked the cab over designs (Trucks, pick ups and Vans)and I ran acrossed this image during a google image search. It just really bit me.
  5. they have 1 at mine for 26, im not into trucks but it was so cheap i almost couldnt pass on it. i think what turned me off was the lack of correct "roadside" emergency lighting. I would like to find an International 4900 cab and chassis to build up like my rig when i was runnin calls
  6. I got the grille in and shot some base on it.
  7. It works on anything in a spray can.
  8. The Jeep rolls on TXT axles steel frame, steel cagenarrowed Nylint body and modded Nylint baja claws full lights 12v through 1 750 motor and the TXT tranny. Built by me. also the Pro 4 is an ex carpet car
  9. I thin it to the consistency of milk. I use a thicker glue than most too.
  10. What kind of R/C are you looking for? I have a couple 1/10 scale on-road cars losi mini lst, losi mini slider, losi xxxtmf ...
  11. yeah Dave, that beats my thick flat black thru the airbrush. Looks Real Good!!
  12. Thanks for the comments guys!! I started with wrapping the car in saran wrap to avoid any messes, then I took TP single square by square and watered down white glue and started laying them down over the car and soaking them in glue with a brush. once it was believable I took a McD's napkin for the last layer, laid it over the hole car but only applied glue where it went over the TP and let it dry some. Then folded it back like someone uncovered the front end and added more glue. Let it all dry and sprayed it plain ford blue with a satin clear top coat.
  13. First Attempt at making a tarp. Learned it shrinks a little around the edges.
  14. Hit a google image search, you will see that the intake is correct, it is a pan under setup. always helps to know what you are building , is supposed to look like in a completed state. research is the key. http://www.google.com/images?client=opera&rls=en&q=383%20mopar&oe=utf-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi
  15. Thats a pretty sick probe there, Phil. E. St. Louis eh, I'm down in Carbondale about an hour and a half away.
  16. Search for a member here named "Phillbass" he has an awesome tut for making your own walls. I belive its in his "restoration" thread.
  17. I bought some of those triangle shaped grippys for all of my knives just for this reason.

  19. Great execution Steve!
  20. Right On!! (fingers crossed)
  21. With this motor combo, I'd say more of a pro touring, but really I'm open to any ideas at this point.
  22. I ended up with the wheels from the 55 pro sportsman kit for now. I'm not finding anything else I like that is cheap or free, Ive been looking at the various aftermkt sets, no luck so far.
  23. Lots of Machine work went into this to make a 383 that will handle some boost.
