  1. Great progress Charlie looks like you will have it done in time
  2. Very nice Steve and thanks for sharing you technic for making the clear steering wheel.
  3. Very nice Cuda Mike
  4. Very nice build those colors really make stand out.
  5. John what are you using for the side emblems and where did you get them from? Thanks for your support.
  6. John thanks for the information I will try it on my next paint strip project. Now I have a different question for you the front lower valance is there suppose to be a dip in it the width of the radiator. Here is a picture of the area in question. I've been looking at reference pictures but it's hard to see the detail. Thanks for your help.
  7. John I have not tried the Castrol Super Clean where can you buy it from? You are correct the brake fluid is messy and icky to work with.
  8. Looks good Jeff. How are you going to build it.
  9. Anthony looking good please keep use updated with your pictures of your progress.
  10. John I'll be checking later today to see the color. Best of luck in spraying today.
  11. Andrew I use brake fluid to remove the paint. If there is a clear coat it will require letting the brake fluid to soften it and it will take a day for it to get where it will peel off. So what I did was to wipe the body down with a Miro fiber cloth a couple times with brake fluid until nothing else comes off then I coat the body with brake fluid and let it set over night and the next day I wash the body with soap and water and the clear coat starts to peel off. After the clear coat is off the brake fluid wiped on with the miro fiber cloth will remove the remaining paint very quickly. I wash the body 3 to 4 times in the process when ever the body starts to get messy I wash it off. I used a scrib to clean out the panel lines. It took me a week to clean off the body that's with allowing the brake fluid to soften the clear coat if there was no clear coat it would only take a couple hours. Hope this helps if you have questions let me know.
  12. I did more cutting and grinding today on the Dart chassis. I cut 5 scale inches out of the chassis and also the inter fender wells. Have started grinding the interior tub and chassis to get them to fit together. Here are today's progress pictures. Thanks for the comments and recommendations. I used some tubing on the outer edges of the chassis to give it support.
  13. Great looking Charger so far looking forward to seeing it all finished.
  14. Yea John I use my iphone to it takes great pictures
  15. Now that is dedication! Way to John.
  16. I've stated on the changing out the front grill. I cut out the old one frame around the grill and installed the new one. I'm working on thinning the out side edge of the grill to make it a smoother transaction like the real ones. The resin parts are fitting good. Thanks for your comments on this build.
  17. Greg you have beautiful built trucks and thanks for sharing them here.
  18. Nice build Greg I always thought a soda/ pop truck like yours would be a cool build.
  19. Greg awesome builds
  20. Awesome build Sean

    Dodge 440

    Dave very nice build I like your colors and the stripes. I've read that the Max wedge had problems with air filters and that the paper filters were developed for this engine like the ones you have here.
  22. Great before and after pictures.
  23. Very interesting build I like how your updating the old kit with new detailed parts. I'll be checking this build to the finish.
