  7. I thought I would use my own real truck motor for my TBolt since it is a 427 Crossbolt and staying with a TBolt theme,..it's an All Aluminum 427 with Aluminum pulleys ,brackets ,Billet oilpan, etc...,But I would take the Wedge Hi-Riser intake and make it EFI with 2 EFI Throttle body made out of Dominators with 4 short velosity stacks on each body and paint the same color as car (mm Purple),with the fuel rails ,ans use a pair of the 427 Baldie Valve covers and convert them into sheet metal covers I had to get on with something else while I think about the rear suspension
  8. been Hit and Miss and probably only 30 in my whole life, I have a about 5 started but got builders block, but I have been collecting Photo ectched parts and models,Resin bodies for about 12 yrs, So I have some nice kits and detail items but actual installation is challenging because somewhere I leap frogged to a out of the box build to trying to build my own frames ,distributors etc...and Pro Street Tbolt with some nice parts with no experience or very little experience,...but I have a Nack for putting down a decent paint job out of a can, and I have only tried a airbrush once,..."but I didn't inhail!!!",...so I have a long road ahead to catch up to where I think I need to be,.....oh Yeah,....what Dainel said about the Wizard thing,.....

  12. I just finished what looks to be a nice paint job on a TBolt ,used the MM Purple...1st time I've used this system ,I hate to keep messing with paint specialy if has a good gloss and very little trash, correct coverage,and just needs a light buff, question is, will this paint buff up and look good or do you need to clear it for the deep rich color,...thought this was a transparent type paint but i see alot of copper flake in it,....I would like to post some pics ,..i'll figure that out with time Thanks, Happy New Year Barry Beachum
