  1. LOL, yes, that's all he needs is three toes! These builds are just way too much fun.
  2. Good finds, Wayne. What a hoot! Carrot Top looks like he's spent his life at the gym or has been downing some serious steroids.
  3. The fun is about to begin, I think . . .
  4. The body has a few shades of rust, orange and a bit of green . . . several previous paintjobs . . . I guess.
  5. Just been working with the airbrush and trying to get some of the details to stand out . . . Got the rolling frame with several different shades of black, and a little bit of rust here and there . . . The chassis is coming along . . . Several rounds of salting and paint . . .
  6. Okay, here's some progress. I still don't have any clue as to how this body is going to turn out . . . just been playing with some colors . . .the chassis and frame are done . . .. Getting all the basic components ready . . . for some paint.
  7. Here's a quick how-to using my MICROMARK handy metal jig. I have used this puppy for years and have never had any trouble getting all my wheels to touch the surface of the road.
  8. The chassis is painted (will detail it later with the airbrush) and now I have the wheels aligned in my jig . . . Made a quick how-to video in case you are interested, posted it to the HOW-TO section. Here's the link: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57760

  15. Building engines is some of what you enjoy and do best, Mr. B. Bring it on, buddy. Let's see some progress.

  18. Thanks, John. I am making progress on the 49 Merc as well . . . I should have some paint on it by tomorrow. Do stay tuned in for more.
  19. I think what Chris is suggesting will work, and so will this:
  20. I really like how the paint looks chipped in places. Very nice going. Hope to see it finished.
