Beautiful cars, beautiful photos.

That's really a beauty. Worth the suffering I'd say. Certainly makes me re-rethink doing one of these.

Amazing control. Not just in application but color control. Fabulous.

Sorry I'm a little late to answer, I've been gone a few days and couldn't check the can. It's Duplicolor Electric Currant Red Metallic. I've always liked the luster of their lacquers. The pickup's coming along real nice, looks like you'll make it to the starting line. My Torino is still questionable 'cause I won't be home many days before the 1st, but I'm not giving up. Maybe I can cram during T-giving holiday.

The shrink wrap adds no added value to a vintage collectible kit. Once it reaches a desirable price, future buyers are going to be suspect of it anyway. At a certain point, being able to view and validate the contents is more valuable than the old cellophane, which might actually be lowering its value to people who want to know what they're buying.

Which is why you should avoid using RGB as color mode reference for paint because that's only for the color of light, or emitted colors. CMYK is the color of pigment, or reflected light.

If there are heavy body mods I do those very first because if I don't like how things are going, then I haven't wasted time building the rest. Otherwise I very loosely follow the order of the instructions. But in the name of efficiency I skip steps to work on other units while paint/glue is drying.

The whole tearing up the contract seemed a little dramatic to be true. However with so many specific details about the offer and tour, and the delay of a couple days before anyone confirmed or denied the story makes me think there may have been a minuscule grain of embellished truth to it. The rest seems like damage control.

I love this show on so many levels. I spent $300 on the DVD box set. Yikes! One of the most well researched and accurately portrayed episodic shows produced.

Beautiful builds and superbly photographed. Thanks.

Nice work Matthew, coming along good. The first color is on the Torino and I laid the first masking strip in prep for the black for the upper deck color. This dated kit has basically a platform chassis so there's not a ton of detail for suspension. If I want to lower the front a tad I need to drill new holes. I filled in the existing hole and redrilled above it. It's actually near a where a hole use to be back in the day. Another disappointment is how far forward the rear axle hole is... too far. Must be almost a quarter inch. I've patched the old hole and will redrill once I find the sweet spot.

I retract this statement. This from Wiki... Jason Bonham (born 15 July 1966), a rock drummer who has gained success with various bands including UFO, Foreigner, and Bonham. He previously played in a band called Black Country Communion which included Glenn Hughes, Derek Sherinian, and Joe Bonamassa. Anybody who plays with Joe Bonamassa is not afforded the luxury of sucking.

Unless Jason sucks. I don't know him, but maybe the kid's a clubber.

John Bonham is dead. His death ended Led Zepplin. For that reason, as Robert Plant has stated several times, there will never be a reunion. Though he's done other projects with members, he'll never agree to a project labeled Led Zepplin. He says it would be a dishonor to Bonham.

Superb Harry!

Date restrictions are safe, popular and we'll return to them again. But this is fresh. Like

Excellent attention to detail. Nice work.

The kind of setback that just takes the wind out of your sails. Sometimes old paint is no bargain. However I'm confident you'll come through something amazing, as usual.

I've seen some plastic army tents for toy soldiers that would be perfect for the canvas shapes and would be cast-able.

A friend of a friend got a degree in modeling. Travelled to TX from MN for his internship. He's a cook at a grill now. With 3D printing, there may be more outlets for modeling but unless you're passionate about it to go anywhere and take any job with impossible deadlines for any minimum wage for the first several years, then I wouldn't consider it. I have two higher ed degrees and what I've learned is academia is full of vacant promises from instructors who are teaching rather than doing. Just my jaded take on the career aspect of it. 3D printing is getting too exciting to ignore though.

Tim, the interior looks excellent. Very crisp. That stuff takes patience. Matthew the tailgate worked out good. Interesting.

My GF told me. The most non-car oriented woman I know was a big Car Talk fan. Sad about Tom. Weekend public radio goes back to tree hugging.

A while back I chose to make a taillight out of a semi truck exhaust pipe. I finally got around to cutting it up and airbrushing it tonight. This is what it looks like after paint. It fits pretty good too. Can't wait to get color on the Torino body and see how this looks inset into the bezel.

X2. Having built one, these are exactly my questions.
