Thanks Rodney! Beginning the widebody fenders.

Bricks. Thanks to the tut of philbass.

started on the body work tonight, front bumper is from the f&f kit modded to fit. also started on the engine- 2jz twin turbo.

alot of us are in there regularly. so i dont think its a site issue. i would start by checking your windows settings like ad blocker and such if you are running any of those. ip chat doesn't seem to use any kind of mother program (java or others). what kind of internet connection are you on? perhaps a try from a different comp? even better if its on the same network. hope any of this helps. jim

Great Build! Bob Motz would be proud

thank you, guys

what car, heritage?

so, what is it?

sweet artwork! are you going to size it to perfectly fit the cover?

do you wipe your subjects with a tack or thinner rag before paint?

I made mine out of (believe it or not) cardboard. I do 1:1 body work as well, I got a hood box (4ftx4ft. 2 sides but it folds around the hood like a book.) stretched it out flat, made some measurements, scored through 1 layer of paper(fold relief). then I built a 2x4 base and wrapped the base with the cardboard and screwed slats around the perimeter on 3 sides. Then i cut the doors so they overlap a few inches. On the top I used a stove hood. the base is the same size. I bought a squirrel cage setup and vented it through a basement window using a dryer vent and duct. I have a furnace filter in the base to filter air into the booth and a furnace filter up top to filter the paint out of the vents. this also helps in keeping the fan clean. In the top i mounted a 24in fluro and on the sides halfway up I mounted 4 cfl bulbs(2 per side). I use a childproof slide lock the secure the doors from my 3yr old son.

finished! scratch built from various wooden sources. finished in maple stain.

started a stairway.

looks like if you started with some olds cutlass wheels and scratched up some center covers. i could do it for a fee, i know how important this build is to you.

Lookin' Tough Bro.

does cycle mean only 2 wheels?

LOL

for hard lines i like to use guitar strings. they also have a polished looking finish. great for multiple carb setups

you remember correctly. enamel will wrinkle up almost instantly.

ah, thanks for clearing that up for me, Chuck.

i really wish this was a must read sticky. harry, pat, gregg???
