  10. itll be done in a few days im putting no effort into it i wanna try the hairspray trick
  11. traded a built kit for these the stutz was thrown in to sweeten the deal i plan on repainting the SSJ in the future to a less blah color the stutz needed too much TLC and found itself on the business end of the hobby saw
  12. the conditions of a trade landed me with a stutz blackhawk the car needed too much TLC so i figure im gonna some fun with it i nixed the fenders since the pictures were shot
  13. squish mold is the best method http://www.alumilite.com/howtos/SquishMold.cfm
  14. its just me but i like muscle cars with beefy tires
  15. hard to believe it drove the way it did it was a smooth ride and very well built cant say the same for the camaro and the honda accord that i also test drove. couldnt see anything driving the camaro the interior looked cheap but for a v6 it had some go and the accord didnt have the right feel to it and for a car that cost more than a camaro the interior was definetly lacking. my truck is a 02 its only stranded me twice since the 3 years i owned it im still gonna shop around theres not that many 2 door cars in the market so itll be a quick one friday im going to ford and next week for the heck of it try a Mini
  16. all hell broke loose today once it was off the jackstands . drivers side door handle broke, hood latch wouldnt release, and now the truck wanders at slow speed for some reason. had to go to a chevy dealer and 3 different parts stores to find hardware and parts i spent close to 370 wasnt bad putting it together but it was aggravating when it came to finding parts. on a good note i did find a dealer that has a turbo 4 banger 6 speed in stock going there first thing in the morning to test drive it and see whats up.
  17. i love the interior and body color but what up with the tires they kinda tiny IMO
  18. all that but the trans has happened, i decided to start shopping around for a import im thinking the 4 cylinder turbo Genesis Coupe or a new Focus
  19. aside from the rocker rust issue. the brakes felt funny cause it kept pulling to the left when i pulled the assembly off i was greeted by this little gem one bolt was holding the caliper bracket assembly the other had rusted so bad it broke at the head then it took a hour of hammer bashing to get the passenger side rotor to come off the axle. this was pretty much how i spent the 4th i have to wait till tomorrow til i get the new caliper bracket.
  20. pressure pot, i changed the mold up and went for a squish type
  21. so the center behind the steering wheel is a good start im pouring the mold tomorrow
  22. finally molded and casted a tamiya tire without issues, i also cast the billed wheel in coin(wheel face only). the tire is the Nissan R34 Bridgestone Potenza 17" tire i plan on molding the new GTR's tire too. once i get some money ill get some soft resin to make real tires.
  23. i have no clue what im doing can anyone help lol this is where im at and i think its wrong its gonna be a 2 piece with the fill point being the center behind the wheel
  24. probably one of the Grabber hues
