I just dip a cotton swab or toothpick into melted candle wax and when cool us it.

I like Spaz Stix spoon painted with it. .

Glue the hood shut, black out the windows make it a slammer and move on. It will look good on the shelf and won't be another unfinished project. Tim

Done as a street gasser.

I'll add a Modelhaus 60 Dodge. Tim

Other than the Modelhaus hubcaps, whitewall tires and the Evergreen V-Groove siding right out of the box.

I use one of those battery operated tooth brush instead of the proverbial "old tooth brush". I found it makes quick work of cleaning model parts prior to painting.

Go to the site select the state you want , the year you want enter the plate number or vanity text. Select make plate then right click on plate picture and save picture to your hard drive. Load picture into an editing program infranview (free from http://www.infranview.com/ )will work. Resize picture to the right size and print on photo paper. I usually print the plate on plain paper to make sure it's the right size first.

I also use a cordless drill to turn Evergreen plastic. Also red acrylic tooth brushes can be turned into bullet tailights.

We need that done in resin.

Scratch built fender skirts, 56 Ford hubcaps with bullets, 36 Ford continetal kit, lowered 1/8" front and rear.

Fine sandpaper sanding pads and sanding sticks (handi-files) look here https://www.micro-surface.com/default.cfm?page_id=1

Who wants to try this? Remove the section of triple tree that fits into the frame. Drill small holes or shallow depressions in the triple tree. Insert a watch band spring pin into the frame depress the little spring loaded nibs and slide the triple tree in place. This just might work.

I use 4000 grit sanding pad to remove the orange peel. Then I use 3M Rubbing Compound Professional Formula followed up with 3M Finish restorer. Both of these are a liquid and come in 8 oz bottles. I got them from Walmart but most Auto store should carry them. My paint finishes are not Show winning quality but I think they look great on my shelf.

I found some hook up wire in the model railroading section of the hobby shop. It's about .040" which is about a scale half inch a little large but doesn't look to bad.

Just finished this one. 1/8" added to width of gas tank. Rake of frame reduced and new fork tubes made from aluminum tubing. Rear fender shortened.

Replica in Minatures of Maryland body AMT 25 T frame and engine Modelhaus spider rims and MCW slicks.

Evergreen scale models makes a line of styrene plastic sheets, strips, rods, tubes, channels, angles, I beams, H beams and more for scatch building. A good set of plans and a collection of the shapes you need should get you started in the right direction. http://www.evergreenscalemodels.com/

Modelhaus resin kit

I made mine from .010" x .080" Evergreen strips. I cut several strips longer than needed. Then taped them around a 4" PVC pipe coupling. Held the coupling with a pair of pliers and dipped it into very hot water for a few seconds then held the coupling under cold water to cool. Now cut the curved strips to the various lengths need for your springs. Add a piece of plastic tubing to the ends of the main leaf and then glue the smaller leaves to it. Add a plate to the side opposite the axel for attaching the U-bolts to. U-bolts made from small wire, nuts made from small plastic rod. Shackles made from evergreen strip. Heres the completed Street Gasser.
