  1. To many variables, practice, practice, practice !! What are you using for paint? Primer? Tape? Temp?
  2. Randall, you forgot about the guy in the corner, clueless to whats going on due to the over exposure of good'ol tester tube glue drinking waayyy to much mountain due..
  3. Not to be picky bud, but those are rocker shafts,not cams in the head. They do look cool with no valve cover on though, make a neat "in the pits" dio for something.
  4. I watched a guy get fed the rear set of trux off a skate board there one night. Ahh the good old days !!!
  5. Umm, aren't the fast chargers and the blade chargers.... Like, the same ones??? I swear I read that somewhere. Or at least the first fast movies charger was... ?
  6. If this is for the 1/16 car that was already moved once, I would use the same process you were thinking about with the paints, but go to the craft store and get some leaf sizeing, and lay that down in your taped area, remove and apply silver leaf once its set. Its not to hard to work with.
  7. If it was prepped properly and your using a good painters tape, you shouldnt have any problems with the paint job you've already done for a few days at least, if at all. I would be more concerned with clear you laydown, then the black, and letting it dry and then over that with chrome. I think your going to get one heck of a build line. But that may work to your advantage as some dimension to your trim, but I think your going to have alot of flash that will tear up you trim when you pull the tape.
  8. The Solor Cup ran this weekend. This is a shot looking down in the lagoon. This is just a small portion of the pits. I was a little disapointed they did'nt have any Grand prix running, but they had alot more super stocks then I remember the last few years. guess I'll just have to wait till the Big Boys run on the columbia...darn
  9. The Hydros were in town this weekend, man oh man !!! They did'nt have any Grand Prix this year, but this little 5.0L was a looker !!
  10. That was one of the best parts !!! But that could be a great plot for the third, Murry, an outed member of the team passes away and then wreaks havok on the new crew and the city he protected..
  11. It's a tipical Burton movie I guess, it has it's "parts" through out.
  12. My wife and I went to see " Dark Shadows" last night. I knew what the movie was about, but being set in 1972, they did a good job of keeping the characters vehicles very lively. I wasn't expecting that. I think the coolest was the late 50s early 60s ford panel. I won't go into to much more', as to spoil it for anyone who might want to watch it. Pretty entertaining movie .
  13. Isn't it against ebays rule to bid up your own stuff ?? What's the word for that?
  14. That's exactly how to drive a Lamborghini, I bet they couldn't do that again if they tried.
  15. Yeah, I found a whole bunch of people to take some of my clutter..
  16. Thats killer !!! I like how you made use of the wheels. I regret painting mine black,
  17. Yeah, the price tag....and some more power
  18. That second to the last 3/4 rear shot is the perfect, iconic 33/34 coupe image. Perfect !!! Great job.
  19. Thanks guys. Tom, the pictures really disapointed me. Its a very cool color in person. Almost a candy when it comes out of the can. Its blue when you spray it, then gets darker and darker till its green, almost black. But it has some gold pearl to it in the sun. Oh well.
  20. And as was already said, it would be nice for the custom guys to have a chance to list all the modifications done on the entry form. Concidering the photo size and amount of photos that are alowed. But I guess that just levels the playing field that much more.
  21. That's cool man, and a killer monster truck. I really like the puzzle piece flags !
  22. I was able to get this done last night and get some pictures taken at lunch time to send in. I entered it in the box stock class, over 16 novice, this is my 5th completed model, 2nd this year (a new record). I was going for a used "overhaulin" type of build, Ive always wondered what happens to those cars when they get done. So I built one. The color is mopar, Anaconda Green. lots of different tones of black for the inside and lots of black wash for everything else. Thanks for looking.
  23. I selected the 5 Pics I wanted to send and they didnt go, so I emailed all 5 to myself, selected the size I wanted that fit under 2MB and sent it. Resized all at once. Got them to go, and the Thank you page. Good luck everyone !!!!
  24. I'm sure it will dive Dr., its the surfacing part thats tricky... I bet the salt water corrosion/barnacle look would catch on pretty quick, "sea-steam punk" ???
