  1. Looks very nice. Where's the wheels from? I have 2 '68 GT 500 kits but recall those wheels in either kit.
  2. Nice. I'll bet it looked excellent before the dullcote.
  3. Thanks Danno and Dave.
  4. Thanks Dominik.
  5. Same here Ricky. The aluminum one as pictured is my go to miter box. Have never used the plastic one.
  6. Outstanding workmanship on a SHINY MOPAR, Dale. What are you using to paint the chassis?
  7. Gorgeous build but red head lights won't be street legal. Need to cover the carbs too. Slicks are also a no no for street.
  8. Nason makes a UV protecctant 2 part urethane clear.
  9. I have a couple of aluminum miter boxes and a coupe plastic ones. I use the aluminum much more.
  10. I used to name every build and then went to every once in a while. I should start again because I usually make a small billboard listing the modifications made to the vehicle. Like the 1:1 show cars have.
  11. Very nice builds.
  12. Welcome Jedd.

    Didn't even know someone made a kit of that little bugger. Very cool build.
  14. Try pressing down hard some real sticky masking tape. The flocking might pull up. Or you might try smearing some CA glue around, let dry thoroughly, get a blade under the CA and it might come up with the flocking.
  15. Gosh. I can remember using one of Mom's hat pins that I heated up ti make holes in the heads and then used her thread for the wires.
  16. Welcome Jeff. I'm little north of you in Citrus Springs. We have a pretty good club that meets in Ocala - Florida Auto & Scale Trucks. We run the contest at Billetproof.
  17. Wash thoroughly with warm water and Dawn afterwards.
  18. Try to find whatever color in flat. After it dries, rub a fingertip on the side of your nose and then rub the paint. Body oils will make the flat paint look like leather.
  19. You could try Rustoleum Texture paint. Looks close to spray in bedliner material.
  20. Went out to Carrabba's for dinner last night. Ate too much because it's so good. Stopped at 2 furniture stores and Lowe's looking for a portable kitchen island. Marcia did an Amazon sale thing and bought us an Instant Pot pressure cooker. Too big for the counter so now we need more furniture. I offered her the rolling cart I used to have a spray booth on. She said no. I told to send the pressure cooker back. She said no. Planning on some kind of pot roast out of this thing soon.
  21. I've been a magazine subscriber since I found out about it - maybe 5 or 6 years. I would happily pay $10/year to use this forum.
  22. I saw on Facebook that Gregg is getting ready for back surgery #8 and that issue #204 is getting close. #203 mailed in February 2017. A Gregg;s published commitment of 6 issues per year isn't even close to reality. I've been a subscriber for many years and have been indexing the magazine indexes for Gregg. It's project he wanted to get down and now he has it. I didn't even think of charging because it won't be right to try to get money from a person who does so much for me with the forum and sporadic magazine.
  23. Me & Marcia went to Carrabba's for dinner last night. It was DELIOUS and we're stuffed!
  24. Go for the Caddy, Ray.
