  1. Welcome Joel to a happy place.
  2. I use only Plasticote primer, mostly the grey but I a can of white, black, and red around just in case. I also keep a supply of white plastic spoons around - some are half HOK silver and half gold. Other spoons are primed with the Plasticote grey, white, & black. All I have to do is spray a color coat over a spoon to see the effect on different primer colors. The gold/silver spoon is for HOK candies.
  3. Daniel offered some suggestions/tips, Mick. I like the shade of green on your Dart. If you don't use BMF, what do you use for chrome trim?
  4. I have a Whirlpool AC/heater unit in my shop and it works great to cool or heat my hobby area (200 sq ft). It sits on a concrete slab, steel outside walls, framed, insulated, and drywalled inside. Models have been fine for the past 5 years. By the way, I only run the AC/heat when I'm out there working.
  5. Looking good, Hertsi.
  6. Gorgeous build and it's SHINY. :)
  7. Different and I like it.
  8. I do make my own but Marcia went to bed and I didn't want to chance waking her up with the Orville bag in the microwave. And don't forget the butter has to be melted in the microwave too. Tonight's menu is London Broil, white rice w/butter, and a salad.
  9. I don't eat popcorn except for Friday night watching WWE Smackdown although I did miss the treat last week because my wife went to bed early. Not this Friday though. Pool, pizza, popcorn, and WWE Smackdown.
  10. No, no! SHINY is better.
  11. Still looks terrific. Is that one of those oddball scales? Something like 1/20th?
  12. Looks pretty good and might be even better with focused pics - or is that my screen?
  13. Very nice. My folks had a '66 2 door post in just about that same color.
  14. I'd love to have intravenous RC. I drink so much of it. How can you go build now? It's 5:29pm and cocktail. Nothing like Jim Beam and RC.
  15. My wife and friends can vouch for this story - after we selected a the area in Florida that we wanted to move to from Chicago, I called RC to ask if they sold RC in the area. They replied yes so we put an offer on a house. If RC would have said no, I wouldn't have moved here. The local grocery store, Sweet Bay, has RC on sale for $.99 per 2 liter bottle. I'll be there tomorrow to get 20 or 30 bottles.
  16. Man, this build is looking good. Paint it! Paint it! Paint it! Paint it! Paint it!
  17. Planted a bunch of variegated lilies and watered them in. Trimmed some bushes and cleaned up. Rolled a carton of cigarettes, and now it's time for an RC Cola and shop time. There's some bucket seats and disc brakes I need to mold and cast.
  18. Neal - check this place out. http://www.alibaba.com
  19. Somebody posted a place for scale palm trees several months ago. I'll try to find it, but don't hold your breath - I'm not too good at searching this forum.
  20. Lookin' good, Neal. The shrubs, rocks, bricks - well everything looks fabulous. Will you be serving chopped steak at the Pumpkin Run?
  21. Thanks fellas. Get that chopper project out, Rom. They're a blast to build.
