  1. A little update, machined center caps for the wheels. I didn't even think about it until I bought a second set from someone else that came with them.
  2. Some more items added to the collection of to-do's. Two of the Commando kits are for parts.
  3. I have tried Alclad and lately SMS. I believe them to be similar, in that there's a fine line between just enough and too much. Too much results in the dull look. I have a lot of experimenting to do yet? The higher end automotive ones look to have better results, but much pricier.
  4. Eduardo brand makes several PE styles of "mesh". I am looking for a hexagon type and if you can't find someone in the US that has it, shipping from them was like $26.
  5. Got a few pieces from VCG Resins yesterday. Some for the current Suburban build, the rest are future needs.
  6. The only thing I can figure, It's got to be something with the difference between materials and how they react to hotter paints. I would have thought the primer would have equalled the playing field..... It did seem to disappear after polishing the clear, but I noticed it again the other day. I am contemplating painting the roof white and/or adding the roof rack....
  7. Farm tractor, lawn tractor, tractor - trailer, each with many variations....
  8. I posted this the other day, but it disappeared some how. Got in a wheel set for my Ring Brothers Javelin, which I will modify for correct backspacing. Also, who doesn't need a Whipple charged LS!
  9. Good morning all. I have been detailing the engine bay since my last update. I'm experimenting with the wiring, not a 100% satisfied, but it's in there so....But definitely coming together, feels good to be close to .. finishing one for a change!!
  10. This is a great idea! I'm going to try it myself!! Thanks for sharing!
  11. Mounted the front bumper, heater box, and remote coil packs. I should probably clean that windshield!
  12. I just discovered this build thread.....JUST BEAUTIFUL WORK!!
  13. Progress!! Installed the gas filler tube, rear bumper, and the steering shaft and box. Box is modified to make it ... somewhat fit.
  14. Note the highlighted lines at the top...
  15. No, just stating that I have the flyer.....LOL!! Yes, I'll take pics later. I don't think it's at the VFW, but I could be wrong. I thought they mentioned they found a different venue for the show also. I'll check tonight.
  16. If you plan on stripping the paint, whatever you use to soak it in should surely remove it. IMO
  17. Pretty sure I have the actual flyer at home. Won't make it again this year, our annual trip out of town for family visits.
  18. Chassis and body are finally mated! Now on to the details.
  19. Getting the parts in the last post was a needed step, now I will need to make a mounting surface for the light(s). Just a lot going on recently.
  20. Some paint from the hobby shop, plus this came today..
  21. Thanks, I see a couple shadows, I'll have to look closer at that. The engine bay is almost ready, tried some new paints.....well, we know how that goes! Thanks for following!
  22. Went to HL, no '71 Olds kits in sight. Airbrush units are on sale though. Bought these as donors for future builds of resin bodies. I have been looking at all my resin kits/bodies for a while, finding which kits are needed so I can find them "cheap" as I go to shows and such.
  23. I know Fireball Motorworks makes them. Not sure who else may.
