  1. might i suggest a choptop trailer with really lowerd suspension to go with it? this is a buetiful ride bythe way. love that flat green colour. makes it look like a peice of turn of the centruy farm equipment...that somone turned into a beast of a rod. somone should actualy do somthing like that on this foruim. or a stanley steamer rod....
  2. on double blown engines, the blowers are stacked, not tandem.
  3. btw pardon my terribad spelling.
  4. could i join as an alternate.? (onso long as i dont do painting. i dont have the facilitys (airbrush spraybooth) but i love this idea. marbe the proj for the alternates could be a coupe or somthing. or a really crappily styled car to make look really good with infinite amouts of shopping/slamming.(like a 71 gremlin or a chevette or a trabant. (ill be able to provide a trabant kit if this reaches fruition.)
  5. well send the fins along and let the next guy add them if he wants.....or if he doesnt want to they wont be added.
  6. welll imjust starting out in car modekling and its time to paint my first body....how do i doo it with a spraycan? should i prim it first? im doing a 68 corbette btw, how far away should the can be? how many coats of paint?
  7. oh my goddd get rid of that cvrappy famo suspesion. is this a 1;35 suspension cuz if is, use the dragon famo model. the suspension is sooo much better. lol an armour modler on a car forum. could it be?
  8. this is lookin good man, my advice? add a spoiler. itll add a nice fast feel to it.
  9. take a dremel with a pointy reamer bit in it and the start gently tapping the sides of your car where you want the rust holes to be. prefereably do this on a really fast setting hot enough to melt the plastic. when you have some nice holes hat are about the size of a scale penny (about the size of a pen dot), turn the dremels speed way down and then start cleaning away the globs of melted plastic from your holes. then paint these holes a and the general area around them. also paint any place on the car you want to be rusting through this same rust color. then take a masker fluid and cover up the holes and wherever you want there to be rust showing through. make sure you have the rust colored paint under the masker! then sprasay your normal paint job with plenty of paint to build up a little bit of paint thickness. this will simulate the the fact that the rust, just like on a real car, is under the paint. then remove the masking fluid and you will have rust spots. take some rust colored pigments and, using a brush streak down from the rust holes. hope you liked my essay on weathering lol. if you really want some good tips, go over to armorama.com and ask the resident rusty tank experts over there. lol
