A beautiful build of Grump's Nova. Nice attention to the fine details. Love it!

This is one of the places where an airbrush really shines. Spraying vents, gills, scoops, and details with good coverage of everything, but without overloading with paint, is a no-brainer with an airbrush. To accomplish this with a spray bomb requires developing some careful techniques, but will still always be a compromise.

Cheers Marcus. I have a couple short-shots for which this method could be an effective repair.

Cool project. Nice attention to detail.

Sad to hear. He was one of my favourite NASCAR wheel men. R.I.P. Cale.

Welcome, Scott. Really digging the Sox & Martin rig. Very cool.

Welcome to the forum, Paul. Looking forward to seeing some of your work.

I bet it's loud.

Is it painted, or molded in black?

I seem to recall some Mopars having orange positive cables, and maybe some Fords too (not sure) but I think most Fords and GMs of the period were black. Likely most foreign cars too.

Nice conversion, beautiful old Ford. I really dig this build. Very nice work.

Great work. Nailed the look. Very nicely done.

Welcome aboard, Gord.

Welcome to the forum, Elmer. Nice looking work. Cheers.

Coming along very nicely. The new tires and wheels are a great improvement.

Coming along nicely. the exhaust looks good. Bet that thing makes some noise at full song.

Cool stuff, Bruce. It's going to look wicked in black.

Cool project. Excellent attention to detail and skillfully executed.

Very well done, Andy. That is one fine looking Cadillac. You sure wrestled this ancient kit to the ground. I enjoyed your build thread. Very brave taking on those double doors. Great work.

There was a thread on this topic a while back, and some people reported an apparent short shelf-life. I have found my own Molotow pens exhibited the grainy silver look after a year or so. The paint in my refill bottle fares better, but still not as 'solid' a surface finish as when new. That bottle is three years old however. The consensus was the refill bottles last longer than the pens, but neither seem to tolerate time well.

Nice looking mill. Cool to wire up the Flame Thrower.

I was thinking the same. It's a pretty little car, but the front end looks unfinished.

I hope the Lambo felt suitably honoured to park next to a Mach 1.

Well, it is a Lotus. As successful as Lotus was in the 60s and 70s, I wonder just how great their record would have been if they didn't break with such frequency. ...or run out of fuel. Which also makes me wonder just how many Lotus victories can be directly attributed to the 'mechanic's gallon'.

It's great to see Canuck Pontiacs getting some love. Very nice work going on here. Good attention to the details. I'm digging the six.
