My first attemt at weathering. Used Georgia Red Clay as the medium. RonR

I`ve had trouble with stripping Testors Laquers with CSC of late. Had to end up using Brake Fluid. RonR

I`ve tryed a little section of .005 alum. from Hobby Lobby by using an eraser as the pad. Worked pretty good in a dremel. RonR

Update: Lettered.

Good start Mark. Nice looking Body. RonR

Good looking build. Great tribute to the Master Mechanic Smokey. RonR

I have been using Testors Laquer for some time now and have had no problems with it. As with Len, I mist on 2 or 3 coats Then a couple of color coats. I use Dupli-color primer. I cant understand why it crazed on you. I think I would try it on a scrap body following the directions on the can letter for letter. RONR

Just a peek at "MIDNIGHTS" Stable mate "THE BEAST". Scratch built chassis, roll cage , magneto, air cleaner fuel cell and the headers will be also. Tires & wheels Early Racing Classics. Trashing to get them ready for Atlanta. Hope You Like Them. RonR

I have a few more that I am working on for later. Thanks for the compliments. RonR

She is done , done , done. Amt `34 body, Revell `37 ford truck chassis,`40 ford engine and running gear. ERC Tires,seat, Gerrycan , and rad. Scratch built pulleys, cage and nerfs,bumpers. Fully plumbed and wired. Scratch built bungie cord for hood hold down. Hand grooved tires. Well I guess all thats left is to take it to THE TRACK and get it dirty . RonR Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

What do you do when you can`t get it from your supplier? Make your own! Out of the need for a magneto, I scratch built my own. Tools & Material: Miter box, Zona saw, drills, measuring device & super glue. I used K&S Aluminum tubing in 1/16,3/32,1/8,5/32,3/16 sizes, You could use brass or evergreen tubing. Cut to length: 1/16-.625,3/32-.500,1/8-.400,5/32-.400,3/16-.300. Put a tiny bit of glue on the end of each tube as you slide the inside each other. Make all the ends flush except the 3/16, make it flush with the bottom of the 5/32. After it has dryed start with a small drill bit and work yourself up to a .063 hole in the end of the mag as per pics. Paint the cap Flat Brown, glue 8 pieces of plug wire in the hole and instant Magneto. Drill a .063 hole in the engine block , glue mag and your ready to fire that bad boy up. Hope this helps out . RonR WHOOPS Pics are in reverseorder :roll: Pic of finished mag would not edit, so you will have to check out my phtobucket to see it.

Just a few pics of a dirt mod I`m working on. Model King asphalt chassis shortened 14 scale inchs, ERC tires & wheels, Revell nascar ford engine, Revell `40 ford standard coupe body. Scratch built cage. RonR Hope You Like It.

Irvin, Thats one sharp Stude! I`m kinda a Stude freak, love them. Guess its because the `53 stude is the first car I owned Ron

:shock: WOW! That baby is going to be SWEET! Ron

Hummm! Now this would make a nice stable mate for my Ram 1500 Hemi pickup 8) RonR

This project is at 95% complete but I cant wait for everyones opinions. Here`s a couple of shots of the`34 Jalopy and the scratch buit trailor. Jalopy is a `34 ford from AMT. A `37 Ford from Revell gave up its frame and a `40 its running gear. Quiet a bit of scratch building including hand grooving the tires. Hope You Like It. Ron
