Hello. My family has decided to mave back to NY to the finger lakes region/ central NY. We used to live in the Cohocton/ Hornell area and that is where we are hoping to settle back to. The last I knew there were no model car clubs any wheres near there any closer then Rochester. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. If there are none, I would like to know if anyone lives in that area that would like to help me start one? Thanks. Jody

Sharp looking build! Jody

Yes, much better color choice then the pink on the box art. LOL. Thank you for the kind words. Jody

Hello. This is a box stock build with exception to the tires and wheel combo being used from the 29 RPU. The color is Testors one coat fiery orange and the interior will be dupli-color classic white. I still have to finish the chassis, interior, engine and put on the wet coat. Hope you enjoy. Thanks. Jody

Hello. Well, it is more in what you want to spend and second what technique works best for you. I am a proffesional custom cabinet finisher. I use pressure pots and air just about every day to finish cabinets. At home I have a compressor and air brush as well. Hoenestly though I prefer to go to the auto parts store, buy dupli-color automotive paint and go. The primer will depend on you and what you want to do. I ofeten use high build formula and will give it say 2-3 coats with sanding inbetween. However if I use a different brand of color, I will use thier etching primer. Now for the color, 2-3 coats as well with sanding inbetween. The 3 good coats of clear without sanding. Then I polish it out at the end after letting it dry for a day. Now the etching primer then using Testors new one coat laquars also works well. Instead of one heavy coat like many say though, I do two decent coats, then 2-3 coats of the wet look clear from them as well. Finally polish out. Looks great. Also as stated in the previous one, I fill my sink up with hot water, let the cans sit for a spell, then shake the dickens out of them. I turn them upside down and shoot to make sure the head is clear before and after spraying. Before hitting the parts, I will spritz it to make sure the paint is coming out in a nice spray pattern. Thanks. Jody

Hello. Windex works well, 90 denatured alcohal works well and so doesnt purple power. The last two can also be used for stripping paint. Purple power works well stripping paint unless its automotive paint. Scalecoat also works well for both. Thanks. Jody

Looks good to me for a micro machine.LOL. JK looks good.Thanks. jody

Hello. I am also working on that same model for a quick and fun build. I am using the Testors one coat Fiery Orange laquar on it. My motor will also be orange, the same as the body as will the chassis. The interior will be classic white and will wear the chromies and white walls. Heres a quick shot of mine. Thanks. Jody

Very cool indeed. Now you make me wanna do one! Jody
