  1. what happens when then star trek, beer, and sleepless nights which leads to this might be a one of those bad idea projects but you keep going leads to a ride so cash the bank told me ive been upgraded to federal reserve
  2. building it as the predicta in a period after the monogram give away and the disaster of the american chopper version. originally was going for box stock but meh i had to dig deep in the parts box for wheels couldnt find the right tires so i made my own whitewalls im working on colors im thinking a dark magenta or something that would look good with fades
  3. thats a huge misconception my 5.0 91 cougar got better mpgs than my 02 4.3 v6 blazer. the v6 did sound nice with the souped up exhaust but ill be going 4 cyl or V8 with my next vehicle purchase
  4. always wanted one finally got it im thinking panels or scallops
  5. i doubt my towns PD will even touch those they seem pretty happy with the suburban fleet i doubt theyll go to the Caprice they all complained about the floorshifter
  6. 50 Ford came with some nice cragars
  7. bad reaction to clear i managed to save it theyre in the dehydrator now, the body had minor damage and it too was fixed
  8. fast build just became a delayed one
  9. paint still has fumes coming off it but itll be back in the dehydrator tomorrow, decided to add a small sticker bomb and roll bar to make it more than box stock
  10. had some left overs squeezed a light coat on this, shes going to be all box stock
  11. Humbrol Red
  12. immediately after so you have a small window to cast parts
  13. this thing is just sick
  14. i dont like convertibles rarely if ever build one for myself but for other people im cool with it this one is for my little brother. i curbed the car to speed up the build opened the trunk to add some speaker detail. the wheels im using are upscaled RX7 FB rotaries i wanted the car to have a retro but modern wheel.
  15. yes saw 2 hobby shops with them now. funny story as to how i got this, i literally woke up and for some reason i had to drive to a hobby shop 40 miles out, found a M12 in a stack of all new kits
  16. didnt see that in the box so im guessing no
  17. kinda copped the van on impulse since its a shorty new testors colors
  18. didnt want you desintergrading a mold either lol, the stuff i use is mold max it has yet to cause a negative effect even after reverting to its old size. oomoo30 stayed enlarged and the mold became brittle after 2 castings. dont know how other compounds react as i dont have them on hand ive yet to try a 2 piece mold
  19. naphta not acetone a few hours youll notice once the mold has fully grown. only mold max shrinks back to its original size
  20. not sure it went from 13" to 21"
  21. i should reword that the current wheel was actually upscaled by soaking the mold in naphta ive yet to shrink a mold
