  1. Good info G, thank you, so I got the chassis painted right then, still have some work to do on it Here are some pics Started with primer on the chassis, then masked of the middle section, and sprayed flat black , and this what it looked like once the tape was removed, I had to touch up a few areas, and the cross member bar had to hand painted. Mock up pic of the engine, painted Krylon matte aluminum then hit with dull coat lacquer , and the valve covers painted FL black , still need to paint the oil pan/tranny bottom and the front and rear suspension piece's , painted matte black and the body, in white primer, mold lines have been removed
  2. This is the style I was talking about, I guess it can be used for late 60's early 70s' and even into the 80's I believe Now my feelings are really hurt, been trying to get these decals from Danno for the last 11 months or so, I all but gave up
  3. I have learned that I still have a lot to learn
  4. Danno That free NASCAR DOT kit you gave me, I am in for $22 in paint for it, plus the $20 for the decals , so that free kit is costing $42 to complete it , I think as modelers, its just best not to add up the cost per kits , some things are better off if we dont know about it
  5. Congrats Wayne on your first and third place, and congrats to Gary on taking second place Now whats this about PHX PD decals, I hope they weren't 70's markings, or my feelings are really going to be hurt now
  6. Check or Credit card only
  7. Doms Charger from fast and the furious
  8. I was a teen when 120 was released, I liked the condo sleeper, I tried to convert it to a condo sleeper, we will leave it that, I do have the cab, hood, bumper, and part of the sleeper and side skirts, in pieces I would love to see a condo sleeper version be released
  9. I am sorry to disappoint everyone Dan by not showing up , I hadnt planned on it going, not much of an east side person , havent been feeling good, toothache and sinus at the same time, lets say havent been much of a people person the last few days. I would of liked too, sometimes , life gets in the way of the hobby, and how dare it Have G email the back of the head Jethro Gibbs head slap
  10. Those are nice, I am going to google and see what all he has done
  11. I dont for the most part either, but I have noticed that with the new Revell plastic, and same with some kits from Japanese companys ( Tamyia,Fujimi, Aoshima) that it will craze
  12. Google is my best internet friend
  13. Nice work on all of them
  14. I know its not cheap to import cars in to other countrys, did it take a lot of work to make it road legal there?
  15. Please for the love of all things , can someone explain to me why Foose is so popular, he takes a old car, puts some wheels on it, does a motor swap, adds some racing seats and puts a "cool" paint striped down the side ?, whats to so cool about that, I am really trying to understand, help me please David, nice mock up review , the ride height does not look to bad out of the box
  16. Nice Stang Paul, so how much did it cost to get it to NZ?
  17. I do have a regulator, but for some reason it wasnt working, but I messed around with it last week, and it seems to be working again, I was able to get the PSI down , have not used it yet, but i do have some paint on the way that I have to use the A/B, so I will see if its better with lower PSI THe only reason why I want to get a hobby compressor is so I can paint late at night, with the one I have now, its to loud to use at night I have a new body on the way from Revell, should be here in a week or so
  18. For a 2004, if thats the year of yours, nice clean engine compartment, almost looks like it did new Lawrence, its a easy kit, its all snapper for the most part, go for it, they can be found cheap on ebay at times
  19. Not a bad Idea, maybe that might of helped Pontiac if they would of done that, but who knows, but its not a bad idea, I do think that GM should bring back Pontiac, but lets not hold our breath of it happening anytime soon But to play devils advocate , say they do , people will just complain that they look like every other car on the road and they are just junk like every other car on the road, and they are not made like they use be
  20. I needed a new 2010 Camaro body, the duplicolor primer is just a little bit to hot , I didnt take steps to insure not damaging the body. I didnt feel right doing a parts replacement request, so I emailed Revell, explained that I was the reason for the ruined body. Revell responded by thanking me for being honest and said that they would send me a replacement body.
