thanks corey! im hopin to get alot done today....im full of energy at the moment, so i wanna keep it goin! more to come cheers bryan

thats gonna look so cool! cheers bryan

ok, its nearly time to paint some parts...........id like to finish this up in the next few days....... cheers bryan

here ya go clay...... the bottom ones are dowels with clips attached to them for small parts...... the center is the chopsticks with double sided tape, and the uppr ones are dowels with larger clamps for big parts.......ive been using them forever, and they work great. and theyre really cheap to make! hope it helps cheers bryan

i also use dowel rods and wrap them with tape, with the sticky side out....... or if it is something that you wont see the other side of i will glue a small piece of tubing to it, and i have clamps attached to dowels that i use to hold them while painting............gimme a min, and ill get you a pic of what i use....... bryan

i usually use some chopsticks with double sided tape on them to hold parts. i would paint one side, let it dry very well, and then shoot the other side... nice start, love the whitewalls cheers bryan

that is lookin great! bryan

oh man! that is BEAUTIFUL! very nice work bryan

nice start! bryan

thanks guys! richard, "blue dots" are something people used to add to their taillights to make them look a bit different, they were colored inserts, and i believe you will drill a hole in the light, and then add the dot to it.......im not positive about drillin the hole, im just guessin. it was popular in the 60`s n 70`s..... bryan

thanks guys! bryan

plasti dip? what is it? ive never heard of it before....... cheers bryan

nice start! BMF is tricky, just make sure you use a brand new #11 blade, and let the blade do all the work, try not to push on it, and you should be ok.....once you get the hang of it, you`ll never paint trim silver again. cheers bryan

not to hijack your thred or anything........ heres some wood i did a few years ago, believe it or not, i shot this thing in a couple colors of tan, and all the woodgrain was done with a SUPER sharp colored pencil, then i shot it with flat clear.......whaddya think? cheers bryan

thanks Ira! heres one i really need to finish guys............its been 3 years since i have worked on it! more to come! bryan
