  8. Thanks guys. Jody
  9. Alright, what you guys are about to see is, ( drum roll please)...................... A FINISHED MODEL! LOL. I know some of you thought I could never do it right! LOL. I didnt think so either! There are some bloopers on it and someday I may revisit it to actually give it some pipes. I was not happy that the dull coat made it shiny and also brought out the white edges on the decals! Oh well, cant win them all! Also, I managed to loose a tail light after everything, so if someone has a spare, it would be nice to get another one! LOL. Now here it is! Thanks. Jody
  10. Very nice! Jody
  11. Thanks for the very kind words!! Jody
  12. As I can afford them, I would like to get the whole set. Same thing with the dragins models. So far I have 4 of those. I think these things are cool and im just kid enough to want to build them. LOL. Jody
  13. LOL. Nope. Thanks for the kind words. It does me well! Thank you! Jody
  14. Well, here are my updates! Thanks. Jody
  15. Very cool build going on there! Jody
  16. looking good. Jody
  17. Here is a quick update. I copied a picture off of the net and resized it, then I printed it onto white decal paper. Now I woke up early this morning, so I busted out Uncle Ben and I weatherd the cab and bed. Then I rusted them. After that was all dry, I applied the decals to each door. Now once they were set, I went to do a light rusting on them(unshaken container so it was mostly alcohol. However, it started to wrinkle the decal! man did I get upset quick! That was not the effect I wanted! However, then I realized these would have been possibly old stickers if they were not painted on, and I realized old stickers do peal and curl over. So I decided it was perfect! LOL. Then I did the next side. Rolling right along. Next job besides finishing the chassis and starting on the grill surround is taking the wheels I really want to use and sand them, paint on the white walls then weather them! Hopefully by the end of tomorrow I will have a finished rolling chassis? Jody
  18. I too would vote inboard, but then again I absolutly love both speed and power! If you are going for 50's style kustom look for a normal regular boat, then the outbourd would do it. In any case, most certainly different and I like it! Jody
  19. That is looking supurb! Jody
  20. That is looking real nice! Jody
  21. Alright, here is my primer Rod build, Lindburgs 34 truck. It was a paint/glue bomb when I got it from Virgil. I never did get everything off. LOL. But that helped with this patina! LOL. I z'd the stock chassis and shortened it in the rear.I modified the engine mounts and made a new tranny mount. I had to cut the cross members and modify them. I chopped the top a scale 6" and sectioned it a scale 6" and channeled it a scale 4". I added a suicide front drop tube axle and modified the stock rear axle so it would accept ladder bars. It will ride on white walls with slicks in the rear. I did most all of the mods last night durring a all nighter! Now today I have shot it with grey primer then black primer then green primer. I have now done the salt trick. Waitiing to scuff it out, add the M.A.S.H. decals and weather it! I will be powered by a 60,s hemi yet to still build. Hardest part left is to scratch a interior. Heres pics as of this morning. Jody Here it is as of this afternoon!
  22. Hot rod building! Oyr you find a kit on ebay that does not have the body! I have some interior junk and fenders for the 34, but I just chopped and sectioned my body last night, a scale 6" chop and a scale 6" section, not to mention a scale 4" channel job too! This ones drastic! HEHEHE. Now that 34 body is intersting as it would make a fine alterd car and I have a altered chassis already! I may have to keep this in mind for my next order from Ed! HEHEHE. Jody
  23. Dave, that paint looks real cool! You have email buddy. LOL. Jody
  24. ROMFLOL. HEHEHEHE. Jody
  25. decals, then two or three coats of clear, then micro mesh. Also as a tip, I have found after going through all of the grits on micro mesh and polish, if yas take thier cloth and breathe on the model, fogging it then rubbing it with thier clothe, you can get a real mirror like finish! Jody
