    Been working on removing the chrome strips that go down the sides of the car, gassers are usually as plain as it gets in this aspect. Ground off the strips carefully with a dremel, then hand sanded til flat, applied squadron putty over the areas on both sides and have started to sand smooth. I will get pics up once both sides are done and possibly in primer.

    Thanks all, does anyone know if that tamiya clear yellow is sprayable through an airbrush?

    This is my newest project. An old fairlane thunderbolt ive had for years. Body had a horrible paint job gone wrong, so it was put away and haven't thought about it forever. Started thinking about doing a gasser build, 1- because I love the style, 2- because ive never done a gasser build. Anyway, got out the old fairlane and bathed the body in super clean for a day and it was like brand new. Also did some shopping and got a 41 willys gasser kit as a donor for the front axle assembly, wheels and tires, blower setup and headers, and some other small pieces. Also wanted to use a boss 429 engine that I had laying around from an old 70 boss 429 mustang that is gone now. I cut out the rear fenders to clear the big rear tires from the willys, cut out most of the inner fenders to clear the headers, got rid of all the stock front suspension and mounts and mocked up the new straight axle and leaf springs, did very little to make the 429 fit like a glove, and mocked up the blower and etc... I'm also planning to paint it Testors one coat Mystic emerald, and would like to paint the windows with clear yellow, just have to find where to get some of that. Here is pics so far.

    A for sure, I love 94-97 cobra wheels on foxes. Stance looks pretty good as well.

    Thats a good point, using the 90 lx kit ans a donor, I forgot all about that 79 notch from mad. Make sure and make a page for this build, id really like to see it.
  18. Devilsnake98
    Yeah that helps, looks good all one color and nice change to the title.
  19. Devilsnake98
    Did you just cut where the top of the flare is, push it out and fill the gap with a shaped strip of styrene? Then cut the mustang opening flare off and filled it and reshaped it to make it flat?
  20. Devilsnake98
    Thats cool, id like to do the capri fenders on my lx coupe but not sure if could pull it off.
  21. Devilsnake98
    Well capri front and rear fenders. Are those from a donor body or scratchbuilt?
  22. Devilsnake98
    http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=47792&page=3 scroll down 1/2 way and the black one is mine, I built it mostly box stock except 98 saleen speedster wheels and tires. I think I remember it building up ok.
  23. Devilsnake98
    Those are from the new revell lx coupe kit.
  24. Devilsnake98

  25. Devilsnake98
