  1. Thank you DPNM, I do not know paasche air brushes that well, so any info is greatly appreciated. The gentleman I bought them from , bought them from a retired ceramic girl that air brushed her ceramics. I kept walking past them at the show. A friend that I was with looked at them and said they looked real good and he bought one. So I thought for $20 it might be ok. I have several air brushes but no paasche. I noticed right off the bat that it is so simple. The clean up was amazing. I’m glad I bought it.
  2. Great job sir!!! You must love the color red.
  3. Paasche single stage air brush. $20 at the silver wings show in Sacramento. Just used it and it works great.
  4. A little more.
  5. Thank you Zed
  6. Thank you Tim
  7. Thank you sir, every little bit helps. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in a build you over look things, another set of eyes are always welcome.
  8. Fixed, thank you. Peski pointed out on my Toyota 2000 GT build that a light lens was crooked. I corrected it and was thankful. I did not notice that one but the judges would notice. That car took 3 rd in large scale at the IPMS nationals in Vegas.
  9. Thank you espo, yes I will check that
  10. Thank you Carl.
  11. Hello Paul, thank you and the engine is from the revell 2007 Shelby GT500 kit.
  12. Thank you David G
  13. Hello RedM, I have a friend that found them for me in Japan. I will try to find out for you. I do remember they were $200. I am not aware of any conversation kit for the car. I will ask the same friend if their is one. . You will notice it is a very well engineered kit. The only tip I can give you is put a little machine oil on the screws. It will be easier to screw in. Here is another I painted. Please do the 007 convertible! That would be cool. Ah the wire wheels were on that one. He is on vacation and as soon as he gets back, I will ask. I gave the Toyota to a friend of mine. And if the wheels are not available, I might switch them out. If so maybe we can work out a deal on those.
  14. Thank you beeRS
  15. The frame. Engine in temporary. I am not detailing this car, we’ll maybe a little. Meaning no brake lines and such. I have 2 model factory hiro cars that I am doing and that’s enough. If you want detail, see those. This is my easy build. So far the mods are easy. This model was made to modify. Chassis just about finished. I do not think I have much more to modify. I’m not a custom guy, but I can get used to this. The hard part is over, just paint and assembly. I hope
  16. Thank you Ray, I looked at it and like the gold wheels, it did not look right. Had to correct it. My first custom, so I am out of my comfort zone. Just doing this one by feeling and looking.
  17. Rear suspension, used the GT500 rearend and other components. Put the exhaust manifolds on , looks like the exhaust will have enough clearance
  18. I agree. The rake just did not do it. My first custom, just going by my feeling on this one.
  19. Thank you crazyjim
  20. I just moved the lights and check out the color
  21. Could not take it, I had to lower the rear a bit.
  22. The real stance. Massiiive effort to get the stance I want. I modified everything in the front end. Has a slight rake. I’m going to look at it for a bit. To see if something does not look right. Might drop the rear a tad more.
  23. Thank you. It was a puller fan. But a pusher works. We just put one in my buddys 1967 LS camaro.
