  1. I agree with that and I am looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. The 41 Ford front ends have really grown on me over the last few years. Love what you are doing with all of these. Later-
  2. I am looking to get a new compressor and I am looking to see what you guys may have or recommend. Looking for something decently priced and quiet running. Later-
  3. That is looking fantastic Curtis. I like the work you are putting into this. Mine is coming along. I'll have the interior finished today. I need to get this finished up and move on to my next project. I got a few started projects from a buddy yesterday that I like the ideas of. Later-
  4. Got a bit more progress done today. Got the dash detailed. http:// http:// Got the steering wheel done. Just need to glue the interior together in the morning and wire the distributor. Later-
  5. Looking for the Centerline wheels from this kit. They are unplated narrow and deep wheels. http:// Also found in this issue: http:// Have lots to trade. Thanks. Later-
  6. I repainted the seat inserts. I think it looks much better now. http:// http:// http:// More work tonight after work. Later-
  7. Thank you. Later-
  8. That really does look good in gold. Never seen anyone paint it in that color. A well done, clean build. Later-
  9. Horsepower, I did clear over the Molotow and it dulls it quite a bit. Fortunately I only used it on the small stuff (side markers, door handles and locks) I figured I can touch those up easily enough. I haven't heard of any clear that doesn't dull it and it is adversely affect do by touch for a long time after applied. As far as using it through an airbrush, I've seen that it works very well. There is a site on FB called Model car hobbies worldwide! where the guys build amazing lowriders. They use it through an airbrush to do the frames and suspensions. Great work there. Later-
  10. Thanks espo. I appreciate it. Later-
  11. I have been working on the interior. Trying to replicate something close to this. http:// Here is where I'm at so far. http:// http:// http:// This is with the interior just sitting in place for inspection. I'm glad that this is not a convertible. I'm not extremely proud of this interior but going with it. http:// http:// Later-
  12. Thanks Horsepower. Yeah I haven't finished the BMF yet. This was just the first round last Friday night. I'll try to get the rest finished this weekend and then hit it with another light coat of clear to hold it all down. Later-
  13. Kelson, I sprayed it with Testors Sand Beige and then misted it with Testors Africa Mustard. Gave it a look very similar to a 69 427 interior I found on the innertube. Later-
  14. Thanks Andy. Later-
  15. Thanks guys. Yeah, George. Thanks for the help with the parts. I'll get my end of the bargain out to you tomorrow. I have never painted red lines on the tires before but I can't imagine it would be too difficult. The decals we're a lot easier than I figured they would be. I got the fourth one done and I'll spray the DulCote on it tomorrow and get the wheel mounted on the chassis. I'll try to finish the BMF this coming weekend when I can get a bit of time to sit without being interrupted. Even during my.lunch and breaks at work I am constantly getting interrupted. Later-
  16. The start of my interior: http:// http:// http:// It's amazing how slow this project has become. Got to pick up the pace a bit. Later-
  17. Kelson, Thanks. I am trying to get the shade by spraying one color and misting another over it. I have the color I want but the consistency is lacking. I may have to strip it and try again. About the chrome, the pics I saw has a split between the chrome on the t tops. There is also a division between the t tops and the windshield frame where the black seal is. My plan is to flow some thinned flat black between the t tops and the windshield frame. Later-
  18. Gotten some progress done over the last few days. Got most of the chassis done and about half of the engine. Tonight I did some BMF work. Still have a bit of BMF to do but need to head to bed. This week's progress: Three tires decaled and hit with DulCote. The fourth got off center. http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// Comments and criticisms welcomed. Later-
  19. Two great and unique builds. Nice parts swapping. Love doing things like this. Later-
  20. Looks good, but needs some closer photos (and more of them). Great work. Later-
  21. Looks fantastic. Nice, smooth paint. Later-
  22. Wow! What an amazing build. I knew, coming from you, it would be good. Nice to see it. Later-
  23. Got some time in tonight at the bench. Got most of the chassis work done. Judging by the box art car I assumed the suspension would sit a bit high so I cut the A arms a bit and reglued them at a bit of an angle up, as well as adjusting the king pins back to level. I also trimmed down the mounting points for the rear axle. All told, I assume I lowered the suspension a hair over 1/16 inch. Nothing drastic, but should help the look a bit. Tonight I also installed the red line tire decals from the most current Revell 67 Camaro kit. But, as is normal, the last one broke on me and ended up a bit off center. So, if anyone has a set from the Camaro kit that they won't be using, I'd love to trade for them. Here is the photos. http:// http:// As you can see in the second pic, NOT GOOD! That's enough for tonight. Going to try to polish the body tomorrow and, hopefully, get some BMF on. Later-
  24. Yeah, I've been using craft paint for a little bit now and it is great for interiors. Glad you like the color and that I could help. Later-
  25. I figured that I would try craft acrylics for the same reasons. I have a few colors of them, just not what I need. Been working on the chassis the last couple of days so nothing exciting to share. I am also in the process of adding redline tire decals from the recent 67 Camaro kit. More progress this weekend and I'll get some progress pics up by Monday morning. Stay tuned. Later-
