  1. Looks good in SHINY . Maybe put a black wash on the grill?
  2. Welcome back, Nick. Been seeing your posts on FB.
  3. Thanks Ron.
  4. My copy of MCM arrived yesterday in pristine condition. It's marked as the JULY issue.
  5. Thank you Peter & Hugh.
  6. Thank you Al.
  7. Thanks Danno.
  8. Thanks Danno. When there's purple, there has to be red.
  9. Thanks Frank. I remove the hood & sides when the build is on display.
  10. I've tried Future, Tenax, and primer/sealer over areas where I've removed door handles and other items. Future and a final coat of Duplicolor primer/sealer seems to work the best for me. By the way, I only shoot HOK paints.
  11. Thanks Andy. Yes, the Testors kit has wheels & tires.
  12. Thank you Stephen & Cliff.
  13. Thank you guys. Sorry about the interior pic. I don't know how I missed taking one. Ray - I think you'll like the interior on the '62 Pontiac I'm building. Full length console between the 4 bucket seats.
  14. I think it worked out pretty well. I've used the same process to cut horizontal lines before. Red acetate with some BMF on the back does the trick for me too.
  15. Thank you Carl & Jesse. Taillights are just slots cut with a cutoff wheel with red acetate glued inside the fender, Jesse.
  16. Thanks Andy. I have this thing about always using some red when there's purple/lavender around.
  17. Finished another one last night. My '34 Ford is painted with HOK white with some Pearl Ex violet mixed into the clear. Did a wheel/tire swap, otherwise it's all from the kit. Dummy here forgot to take an interior pic. It's the kit interior in white and lavender with deep purple carpeting. I used a cutoff wheel in the Dremel to cut a spot for the taillights.
  18. Amazing, fantastic dio.
  19. That's very cool and it's SHINY . I used to work with a guy who stuffed a small block Chevy into one.
  20. What a score! If even half of them are good, you're in.
  21. Thanks for posting, Rob. Too many airplanes for me.
  22. Looking fine in SHINY
