Nice work on the wheel wells. The wheels are sweet. Where did you source them?

Jantrix, I think ScrappyJ applauded you for criticizing in a "respectful manner."

Just hit the screen with some flat black paint.

Super clean build. You did a fantastic job on the Pontiac.

How did your dad respond to his gift?

Great work. The fender flares and paint are outstanding.

Simply beautiful!

Very nice build. I really like the velocity stacks, filters, and scoop.

Cesar, the chrome work looks good. I'm not familiar with HOK Kosmic Krome. I curious to see how the clear looks over the Kosmic Krome.

Very impressive scratch building. The tranny, bell housing and manifold look great.

Looking great! Keep it up.

Nice build. Great gift.

Cesar, nice job stretching the wing. It looks great. Cliffo, thanks for the info on the hardware. I will definitely pick some up.

Nice effect with the paint. This is gonna be a very cool build.

This car may be the best example of the influence of the space age on car design that I've seen. Those Herb Deek wire wheels look incredible. I'm looking forward to seeing the some paint on the Bat.

Nice build. I didn't know that a turbine car was ever allowed to compete at Indy. Did they change the rules the next year to prevent turbine cars from competing again?

Thanks seeker589. I'm glad you like the the seats.

Hmmmm... So simple and effective. I love this place. I learn something almost everyday.

I have both of these books and I agree with mageckman that they were a good start. I think it's always a good idea to have reference material. If you perform careful research and ask thoughtful questions, you will find a wealth of useful information on this forum to help you overcome any hobby issues that come across.

Very convincing weathering!

Definitely interested.

Thanks for taking the time to post this great tutorial!

This thread probably turned into something that Virgil did not intend and I'm glad that the moderators have not pulled it. I think "spirited" discussion of a very important topic is good for all of us. I built a diy spray booth with a used stove fan for under $50.00. When I learned about the safety risks involved and read more than one post from or about people who were actually burned while using a nonsealed fan motor, I stopped using it and got Paasche booth. I use an amazon wish list for birthday and holiday gifts and I encourage my friends and family to make purchases off my gift list. My booth was a birthday gift from my gift list and it is by far, the most used gift I've ever received. Some of you might consider creating a gift list and putting your hobby-desired purchases, including a spray booth, on it.

Oh my freakin goodness... Brilliant! Your metal work always looks so realistic. The subtle wash really brings out the details. Once again, I'm amazed by your talent. Thanks for sharing.
