Looks like Saturday night in Gainesville.

Nice, and it's even the "right" color.

WOW ! , great job on the Vicky, love the engine detail. Robert

Hey Jim, Yeah there's only 3 so far, but I've still got 2 more weeks to build. Cranky, I try and keep all the tires mated up in sets, easier to put my hands on all 4 at one time. Doobie, no polish, straight out of the air brush or rattle can.

Hey Jim, I'm hoping to have all of them (I couldn't make up my mind on what style to build) completed by out Oct. meeting.

Paint Strippers - What to Use?
oldnslow replied to pbj59's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Jim, I've stripped several of the Phantom bodies with 91% and they came clean with very little brushing. -
Thanks Guys, I'm pounding out a couple of builds now for our club build, can't post them yet cause Jim will see them, , and you know what a blabber mouth he is!

Great Looking Camaro! I remember these from high school, Road Hugger tires were my tire of choice in the 70's for my Nova, G60 fronts and H60 rears. But one thing, please put some brakes on it before your sister takes it out for a spin, wouldn't want her to get hurt.

Section it, chop it, slam it, ZR1 motor and running gear. -
Viper powered car hauler?
oldnslow replied to Bartster's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Realistically, you can put anything in anything with enough engineering, is it practical?, probably not, but if you like it so what!, go for it. -
Inventory software
oldnslow replied to Rob McKee's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My daughter's after me to do the same thing, using a word document, haven't started yet. I've got the inventory sheets, everything is in boxes, but there's 78 pages and I just can't bring myself to start that project yet. -
Thanks Marty, Yep, lots of stacks of tires, after 50 years of building and collecting they start to pile up. I've probably got 2 or 3 thousand stashed around the garage in cigar boxes, model boxes, on loops of wire and in drawers and these are just the one's that were easy to get to. .

Nathan - wheels came from the 37 pickup kit
-
Yep, you're right. Thanks for the catch.

Anyone know anything about this?
oldnslow replied to 502's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Too late, it just jumped the sprocket. -
Thanks again guys, Marcus - the paint is Malibu Girl nail polish I picked up at the flea market, it's called tequila sunrise, got funny looks when I bought about 20 bottles of different colors for 5 bucks. Rob - the buick came from the Orange Hauler, it's a drop in, even the mounts match up.
-
Thanks Guys, Rusty - the motor is out of the Phantom Vicky, stock with fuel, vacuum and throttle lines run. Jim - you didn't see that, LOL. Ron - it's the kit part, shortened to fit the new interior length.
-
Finally got around to finishing this one, it's in the under glass section.
-
I finally got back to this one and finished it up, makes a nice companion for my coupe. tried my hand at an eyeball shifter. the 57 interior worked out OK. added some polished aluminum tube tips to the exhaust. added a little wiring.

This can't be right, I still haven't received the June issue!

What my 55 used to look like.

Hey James, always looking for locals who model. Give me a call. 904-219-5757. Robert

Yep, in Florida, it's going to be 78 today, warmest winter I can remember, but like Joshua said we've still got February to go.

I use Walmart brand Purple Power cleaner, $6 or $7 a gallon in the automotive section. Chrome is gone in about 30 minutes, stripped clean overnight.
