  1. I had the same problem for a long time then the nice fella at the hobby shop told me to heat the cans up, I turn my water on as hot as it will go and put the paint in a bowl and let it sit their for a while ( I shake the cans every once in a while to speed up the process) It has made a world of difference the paint seems to flow smoother. I hope this helps.
  2. I just started to chop the amt 49 ford, I'm about half way thru it and its not as difficult as I thought it would be I just planned it out and went for it I'm almost done with the filler and it is turning out good, just go for it. Sorry I didnt take pics of how I did it.
  3. I'm with ya on this one
  4. I'm assuming that you listin n to minor threat? they are one of the first hardcore punk bands I ever heard to.
  5. The news this morning said a guy on the oregon coast got sucked out to sea and is presumed dead. thier was also some damage but not like japan by any means.
  6. Me and my future wife (may 20th) this is the pic that was put in the paper for our wedding announcement
  7. I like them all you did a great job on them. I wouldent call that truck a rat rod, It looks more like a old school hot rod to me!
  8. I like it but I think the things on the hood sides are kinda weird. defiantly in the right direction.
  9. Smmmooooottttthhhhhhh!!!!!
  10. I work in a wood shop (we do interior signs for albertsons whole foods etc.) I was looking thru my paper work of what I had to do today and noticed one of the prints was for styrene! we get the stuff in 8'x4' sheets from time to time (I have only worked here for 2 months) but any scrap is free for me to take home so I brought home 2 2' squares! I also can get scrap aluminum and veneer. Do any of you guys have jobs that get free perks like this? (I'm not talking about steeling or any thing)
  11. WOW that is fantastic!!!!
  12. Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun building this one.
  13. I just finished this up last night and gave it to my friend Monk. The front didn't get as low as I wanted but over all I'm pretty happy with it and so was he. I didn't have to change to much but I took the front suspension from the 66? el camino front end and grafted it to the frame, I shorted the frame so it didn't stick out from under the truck. the bed is a piece of veneer from work (he has a old dirty piece of plywood in the bed) he also always has his pinstriping box in the bed so put some veneer on a piece of 1/2 mdf for his box, the seat cover (blanket) is just a pic I shrunk down and printed. I think that's about it. Ohh yeah thanks to Casey for the steering wheel and extra parts! As always let me know what you guys think criticisms or atta boys!
  14. That is really cool, good job. I need to find that kit I have never seen it before.
  15. That paint is great.
  16. Looks good! how did you carve that detail into the frame?
  17. My girlfrind bought me some of the martha stewart flocking and it looks just as good as the stuff i paid twice as much at the hobby shop. Most of the models I build you can't see the floor any ways so I don't know why I bother most of the time.
  18. I usually like it when some one says something dumb on that site, there is some funny people that post on the hamb ohh yeah and mention you like rat rods that make for some good laughs
  19. The engine looks nice, I never paint any of my models white (my old plymouth fury and my current 65 ford f-100 were both white when I got them and that changed fast) I just dont like white cars or trucks.but I might have to give it a go on a future project if any thing it might add a bit of contrast on my shelf.
  20. well I guess you were wrong on that one huh?
  21. oooohhhhhhhahahahaha that is so awesome on a trashy level.
  22. I do like but I'm with Terry on the wheels but other than that it looks great
  23. Give it a few more years and people will be fixing all theis rat rods into real hot rods or whatever is cool at the time and people will make fun of them like people make fun of easter egg paint jobs. rust is the new pastel
