Yes - wheel choices and how much are the Mickey Thompson's goin go be?

Bought the stuff last week but I need to get the food coloring this week. Your tutorial is excellent. Thanks for the tip.

Nice haul Greg. Know the size/gauge of those plug wires?

Well Bill, that was 1965 and my mind isn't the greatest. I remember Bristol Blue and I know it would on my '56 Chevy 210 post. As I recall, it was pretty similar to Chevy's Marina Blue on the '66 Chevelle's.

Unless Pontiac carried it over, it was 1960 Pontiac Bristol Blue - I painted my '56 Chevy 210 that color in 1965.

I'd stay away from silicone caulk. Sometimes it reacts with paint and causes fisheye.

Does anybody know the gauge of wire the aftermarket guys (Scale Dreams, Model Car Garage, Detail Masters, pre-wired) sell? I usually use wire Model Car Garage wire looms and I need to make sure this 30ga wire will fit through them.

Nice lines on that car. Love the color.

Looks pretty good. I think you're right about leaving the scallops off the doors. What are you plans for the box?

Outboard? That puppy is screaming for an inboard V8!

Telephone wire is too big! I order ignition wire from Scale Dreams. Comes in all kinds of colors and Rick has MCG wire looms too. Can't go wrong with there.

I was going to buy a Pace unit until I saw the price. I then printed the page(s) with the measurements and bought my own from plywood and used a bathroom exhaust fan. I have since cut a 4" hole in a wall for the vent and added a 3 gallon air compressor. I'm kinda/sorta in change mode again. As soon as our pool is done, I'm planning a major change. I'd like to be able to get the buggy out without having to move the spray booth.

Way to go Dude.

Wrong!! If you're doing a dune buggy, it has to be white with some purple pearl in the clear coat. Naturally you'll want a purple stripe with red accent stripe. Hmmm, you could just look at my avatar pic.

I've prepped the body and then used Plast-i-cote white sandable primer until everything was covered. Let it dry and shoot the pearl. Let it dry and shoot the clear.

Never bougth a resin piece. I understand you need to use the chassis from another kit to complete the resin unit. So what happens to the body from the original kit?

Looking real good. But what happened to "MOPAR or no car"?

Yo Cranky - is this "intercoat clear" some special clear coat used to seal the tape or just clear like you'd use as a final coat.

Hobby Lobby has another 40% off any one item of regular price in their sale ad. It's good March 15 - March 20, 2010.

Looking terrific, Bill. Thanks for the update.

Thanks. Finally got the replacement fan belt today from Revell so I can finish the engine/drivetrain/chassis. Body & panels are in prime.

And here's some interior & chassis pics of the Deuce coupe I'm working on. It's going to be HOK Candy Apple Red pearl over a gold base.

But I'm not doing the Yenko thing. The HOK Cobalt Blue pearl is drying. I tried Longbow's trick with Perfect Pearl in the clear. We'll see in a few days. Here's some pics of the interior & chassis.

Non-pet people can't understand how it feels to lose a critter. Sorry for your losses guys.

Hope you heal quickly. Take care of yourself.
