  1. Great progress (I envy your fabrication skills)!
  2. Thanks, Sam ?? Got a little done last night (weathering the engine) and some spray done today before (and after) church this morning (Tamiya Brilliant Blue)
  3. AWESOME, nicely done, my friend!
  4. LOL, yeah man, that would do it ?? It's looking great in the latest pictures, my friend
  5. Thanks Larry and Jeff ?? Been pretty busy since I got that little bit done, and tomorrow's full of appointments, hoping to get the engine weathered and installed before bed tomorrow though.
  6. Man you're moving fast on this, nicely done
  7. That's looking great, nicely done on the doors ??
  8. Thanks, Dan, was nice to finally get a few minutes at the bench ??
  9. Piddled with it a little this eve ? Engine is only mock-sitting in there, still needs a little tweaking and detail paint/weathering/
  10. I literally just came back in a 15 minutes ago from shooting dull coat on the chrome of a Revell Kenworth W900 (that was so "chromey" it looked way too toy like--so yes, other people do it too). Different brands of "semi-gloss clear" and "matte clear" will give you different levels of shine/no shine. I used Krylon "Matte Clear Coat" on this for example, because I knew it gave kind of an non-polished aluminum finish. (sorry, I didn't think to shoot pics of it before)
  11. Thanks guys ? I haven't really done much work on it yet. It seems like nearly every day I want to go sit at the bench with it, but something stops it (sometimes that "something" is self inflicted, LOL ? )
  12. Oh that's sweet!! Back in the late 80's as a teen I owned a silver '85 Turbo Z and an '84 Lazer (Plymouth's version, it was a turbo too but it didn't work) and mid 90's I owned an '86 CS Z almost identical to Dee Dee's '84 from the show (dang near like this model except for hood, wheels, and that V6), thank you for the memories!
  13. IDK how I missed this, it's flippin awesome!
  14. IDK, it's awfully hot in here to cover up like that, plus I've worked really hard over the last few years of my 40's to develop this bread gut (like a beer gut, but I don't drink) ?‍♂️
  15. Rolling chassis is looking great, my friend!
