  4. Thanks Ray! I Agree, Finishing a Model is the Hardest Part! I've learned how to fix my mistakes because I know I will never make a "Perfect" Model...
  5. SUPER-TURBO CHARGED!!! I started collecting Engine Parts! Most came from the Porsche Kit, the Big Tuba Exhaust is from the Deals Wheels Van and the rest are from the parts box... Here is the first Mock-Up. Turbo-Charged Six Cylinder Porsche Engine with a BiG Supercharger Too! Here it is with the BiG Pipe! This Should Be Fun...
  6. COVER THE COVER!!! I saw John Teresi do this on a Gas Pedal. It looked Great so I tried it on the Engine Cover... I painted the Engine Cover Flat Black and then covered it with metal screen. It looks Real Nice on both sides of the Engine, Thanks John!!! More photos with the Engine Coming...

  8. A PAIN IN THE GLASS!!! I got some Testors Red Label Glue on the rear window ...a lot of glue! I wiped the glue off but the window was messed up Bad. I cleaned the area with paint thinner and then wet sanded the window with some 320 Sandpaper. Then I changed to 1500 Sandpaper, then 2000, then 3000, then 5000, then 8000. Then I polished it with Novus Scratch Remover. Here it is in place... After glueing the window in place I outlined the window around the edges with a Black Sharpie. Then I painted the inside Flat Black outside the lines. I'm glad that worked...
  9. LOOKS GREAT!!!
