  1. Parts look pretty good. You do the chrome too? Somebody needs to do a tutorial on parts casting for dummies (like me).
  2. I don't think it's nice to take a 1:1 car and put it through a reducing machine to post here as a model. Looks like it's on a showroom floor.
  3. First build - no way! Looks good.
  4. Welcome back, Drew. I think a member posted about tools just a couple of weeks ago so you may want to search the site. There's so much new and different stuff in the last 20 years. Get a copy of MCM.
  5. Man, you do some amazing work gseeds. I'm not a lowrider person, but I love the detail you're able to put in a build.
  6. Just trying to help, Ron. Happy shopping and happy 4th of July.
  7. How are you going to get the mold lines off if the parts are still on the sprue? I cut everything off the sprue(s) and sort by interior, engine, chassis, body, and then decide what color on each part.
  8. That's some top notch work.
  9. Another amazingly detailed build, John. Just fantastic!
  10. Happy Birthday to the greatest country in the world!! God bless our troops. God bless the USA.
  11. Oh yeah. If you go to Michaels and/or Hooby Lobby web sites, you can sign up and get the coupons emailed to you every week.
  12. I heard Chrome Tech is just a go between - they don't do any of the plating themselves. I don't know if it's true or not. I've never had chrome plating doen - yet. As soon as some wheels I ordered from Time Machine Resin come in, they're going to Little Model Kar Co. in Reading, PA for chrome plating.
  13. Michaels sale through July 10, 2010 has a 50% off coupon on any one regular price item and Hobby Lobby has the same deal with a 40% off coupon. Happy shopping.
  14. Peter - don't forget to put your address in the box so we can send some $$$ back to you. I'm looking forward to this. It's going to be a major challenge for me. Thanks so much for taking so much time and care in this project.
  15. Jim, it looks like a lot of work to clean those guys up. Why don't you just send them down to me and I'll take care of business. Nice score!!
  16. A '57 Nomad - what a ride. I'd drop everything I was doing or planned to do with model building and get that puppy back on the street. Excellent looking ride, Shane.
  17. Looks good, Hans. Good luck at the show.
  18. Where's the cars? Hey Gregg - I have some hair growth tonic if you need it. It's guaranteed to grow hair - or it'll shrink your head to fit what you have. I'd like to vote for Diana, but I guess I need to vote for da Boss.
  19. I used coat hangers until last year when I brought a Tamiya stand. I love the thing! It's easy clean up becuase the paint just chips off after it dries.
  20. Nice work. How were you able to make the raised rings on the body where the exhaust comes through?
  21. Hang the thieves by their thumbs! I remember that Jewel/Osco, I think, Joe. Across Roosevelt was the car wash. Right? Been there many times.
  22. Another fantastic paint job. Wow!
  23. Whooee!! That's some paint job. A tutorial would be really excellent.
  24. Sweet looking build.
  25. Thanks for all the advise fellas. I was thinking LHS to get me out of the casino and away from the one arm bandits. But that would take me away from the scantily clad waitresses too! Can't win in Vegas.
