Got some great details going on, Shane. Looking good.

Hey George53 - what are using under the Alclad? Black enamel or lacquer?

Super build on a very nice car.

It doesn't make sense to put lacquer over enamel. The lacquer would eat the enamel.

I bought a bottle of Alclad II chrome and have ordered a rattle can of Tamiya gloss black. Can I use the two together or do I need a different basecoat? Appreciate any assistance.

Never heard of recycling styrene cars. Wouldn't it be a smelly process? I'd like to try casting some of my own parts but would need to see a tutorial here first.

Terrific looking build, Dave. I like what you did with the taillight & exhaust and headlight treatment.

Check out Ma's Resin for the tires. http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/ I bought a pair and they look GREAT!

My Scale Dreams order arrived today - 2 envelopes of BMF, resin bucket seats, PE wire looms, and a bottle of Alclad chrome. Do I really have to use Alclad's black? I ordered some Tamiya gloss black to use.

I'm likin' this build. Never cared much for Moon discs so I'd go with the Torque Thrusts.

Freehand?!?!?! I'm impressed. The paint scheme great on that body and the wheels look terrific too! That Nomad ain't looking too shabby either.

That's a nice work area, Mark. I like organized!!

Not to shabby. Looks good. How about posting pics of the real one too?

Isn't that a cute little thing.

I stick (get it?) with Tamiya masking tape.

Excellent thinking on the gull wing style rear door. I like how you did the leaf springs too. I'll be watching this build.

And that's your first build? Looks better than my last one and I've been building since 1958. Nice and clean. Be waiting to see more of your build soon.

I think I've already added to you to my hate list, Marcos. I'm just jealous of the great builds you do. Your Pontiac looks great! That Pontiac is a wonderful kit to work with. Looking forward to seeing your next build.

It was terrrific meeting you Don and I appreciate the tour of the American Classic Motor Cars building. I tried to wipe my drool off the paint on a couple of them. I'd be more than happy to provide you with any assistance I can with a model car show. I gave you my card so you have all my contact info. Maybe you could get "Big Daddy" Don Garlits to drop on over. Or how about John Travolta? Both of them live only a few miles away.

So where is the place? I was going out shortly tp Michaels and Hobby Lobby in Ocala.

Yo Don - this place is in Ocala? Can you provide a street address? I need to go look at what they have for sale.

I use a Bager 200 single action. When I investigated airbrushes a few months ago, the Paache H series came up many, many times. I did a pricing check of a Paasche HSET and found Chicago Airbrush at the low end ($55.54), Tower Hobby ($54.99), TCP Global ($58.94), and Dixie Art ($59.95). I believe Chicago Airbrush had free shipping.

This should be interesting. I'll be watching the development of your CadVette.

Looks like you have an interesting build going. I'll have to an eye on it.

Terrific Build, John. Super details. And that's part of the reason you're on my all time hate list - not really hate, more like jealousy because I can't build the way you do. Like them coming. I need the inspiration.
