  2. That looks great, but I'd use some masking tape above and below the handle on the body during surgery.
  3. Sounds like too much sanding, and soap & water. Are you trying for a germ free paint job?
  4. I would check with Linda Vaughn for info on that subject.
  5. Awesome job on that 'Vette!
  6. Thanks Carl.
  7. AMT's '39 Ford Sedan in Tamiya's French Blue with a resin hood scoop, removed front bumper and running boards, plug wires, valve stems, BMF, enlarged rear wheel openings, raised rear suspension approx. 3 scale inches, drivers seat belt, helmet,stock front axle. If I replace the slicks with street tires, this sedan is street legal with headlights, tail lights, mufflers, and license plate as in the begining the "gas" class was made up of street driven hot rods that were raced on weekends. <a href="http://s818.beta.photobucket.com/user/itsagas1320/media/Model%20Cars/DSC02930_zps8659e131.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz104/itsagas1320/Model%20Cars/DSC02930_zps8659e131.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSC02930_zps8659e131.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s818.beta.photobucket.com/user/itsagas1320/media/Model%20Cars/DSC02928_zps980e7c1e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz104/itsagas1320/Model%20Cars/DSC02928_zps980e7c1e.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSC02928_zps980e7c1e.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s818.beta.photobucket.com/user/itsagas1320/media/Model%20Cars/DSC02924_zpscf3c41fb.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz104/itsagas1320/Model%20Cars/DSC02924_zpscf3c41fb.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSC02924_zpscf3c41fb.jpg"/></a>

  9. Your '57 looks good so far as I first started diggin' into mine this weekend and I'm going the "gasser" route on my build.
  10. Nice lookin' job you did on that Mopar.
  11. The mail carrier brought me the new Junior Stock / Drag Racing The Family Sedan book by Doug Boyce today.
  12. That's a great book Greg, as I have it in my library as well.
  13. I'm hopin' to make it this year as I know several people who will be there and over the years I've heard good stuff about this show. Weather permitting, I'd like to check it out.
  14. Wow, we got a lot of snow yesterday, and to think that I was in the Caribbean last week enjoying temps in the mid-80's. I'm ready to go back.
  15. What a sweet lookin' Poncho.
  16. I'm pretty busy, but I hope to make it, weather permitting as I've heard good things about that show over the past few years.
  17. Well if there's no selling allowed, Cranky can send us a copy of the book for FREE right?
  18. You can coat your decals before using with just about any lacquer and Testors also makes a Decal Sealer. I've use both with great results.
  19. Some days in April are pretty nice and that's when I usually pull my car out of its hibernation in the garage. Of course a visit to Wrigley Field in April is usually cold. May is much better as that's when the car shows and cruise nights start also.
  20. Good to hear that you're laying off the donuts.
  21. Wow, its been a loooooong time since I've seen one of those kits. It's gonna look really nice!
  22. Yes, on one of my Willys builds I used a front mounted pump connected to the water pump. From the pump I ran a line to a fuel block in front of the injectors and then a seperate line to the side of each injector. I hope this helps.
  23. I've got enough Deuce kits in my stash and I'm taking a pass on buying the roaster.
  24. Did you enjoy our latest snowfall Harry? I gues we should be glad we don't live on the East Coast as they're really getting socked with snow.
  25. While I have two air-brushes and a compressor, I haven't used them in over 10 years as I like the convience of ratlle cans. Just shake and spray.I get good paint jobs and can do fades, two tone, and other things with the rattlecan.
