  1. The post said 8 were made for a funeral Parlor in Brazil. Maybe one of the skilled guys on here (not me BTW) could use the Chevy II roof to make this.
  2. Not my pictures from the internet. Face book group Restorable cars barn finds
  3. They do have a generic front suspension but not one for that specific truck. I would think that you could use an 80's 1/24 scale NASCAR kit.
  4. This came out nice. Good subject
  5. I agree, nice work on this. Looks great.
  6. Welcome aboard.
  7. This is a great idea. Love what you are doing here. Are you going to do one Oldsmobile powered?
  8. Great looking street rod.
  9. Thank you for the info with the thinning of the water based paint. The interior looks pretty good.
  10. Keep posting pictures please. I just found this. What do you thin your craft paint before you spray it on?
  11. https://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/video-tiny-porsche-911-engine-screams-like-a-real-one/?fbclid=IwAR2Z8Ckwbao1Ulx03jq4fpHtPTyp2baLwmslJKMAcrcpD7P2kigg196fUFQ
  12. Nice looking truck. I like to see a day cab built around here once in awhile. We called those a city truck.
  13. Nice work Chuck. I liked that trim package. I purchased a new 1990. Before this cool package was out. For once is was not a day late and a dollar short, I was early.
  14. If you try something different please post results good and bad. Good information on what to do and what not to do is always welcome on here.
  15. I don't know If I would use a fish tank heater. That requires motion to heat the tank properly. I wonder if adding an air pump might work? As long as you are at room temp it works fine. Someone mentioned using an ultrasonic cleaner to strip parts on here a long time ago, and some of those have heaters. Don't over think this to much. I do all the time and it just slows me down. BTW If Steve says they look fine and paint away. Do just that, His work is awesome.
  16. To find out what Walmart had models here, I had to go to each stores website to do the search.
  17. I don't think I would mix the lye. Just me If the super clean is used straight it should be good for a long time. I have used an old t-shirt/rag at the bottom of a strainer to clean out the old paint flakes. If it was cold when you tried to strip the paint or chrome off the parts it does take longer. at my house (in Michigan) the jug stays in the basement until I need to strip something. I like to have the jug around 70 degrees or warmer for better action. Looks like you live in a warmer area though.
  18. Great color choice. Looks very good.
  19. Prayers for his friend and Family. We lost another friend here on the forum, more of you lost a personal friend through connections here and from shows.
