  1. Nope very available, Thats all I used back then, I just thought thats the way it dried because a buddy of mine used the same thing with the same results...
  2. I guess Im doing something wrong on the x-22 or something has changed in the formula from 10 years ago as I have had poor results with the x-22. yes I get a great finish and super slick but ten years later it is still soft on some of my models.
  3. Good stuff Dave, I have found that the Shopline brand (PPG's house brand) is crystal clear as well. Its a two part clear that needs no reducer, just hardener. Sells for about $35 for a quart w/ hardener. So far I like it...
  4. Looks Good!!!!!
  5. Man get out of here with that stuff We all have the same problems and issues as you. Trust me you are NOT alone. I went through 5 sets of Slixx decals on a recent funny car build and I'm still not happy.... Matt LeBlanc told me once, "build for Yourself" the rest will fall into place..
  6. HAHA ALYN, I AM the boyfriend that rolled up in something like this when I took my Now wife out for the first time.
  7. Just do what your Dad would have done and you wont go wrong. As far as good kit, with a bit of clean up they build into a great gasser...
  8. Right but he is asking if he should leave it untouched and he states its sealed so Im assuming he means to leave it factory sealed...
  9. More than likely it is the reissue from the late 90's judging from the way the shrink wrap is on the box. the original issue was in a pretty heavy card board box and was a bit shorter ... Give me a minute and I can post pics of the original and the reissue side by side... Also on the box side where it lists features one side of the reissue will read 1995 and the other side will read 1963. The original will read in the same area Litho in U.S.A. while the reissue will have the kit # 1287R0100
  10. Texas is the ONLY place I will Live Here are the last pics I will be posting on this build until its done. So here's your chance to clown it or love it.
  11. Thanks everyone. I hope to have it wrapped up soon and get back on the dart. I am tooling up to make a small run on them, if you are interested contact me via email and we can work out the details...

  21. While the term "traditional" might be a bit off for this build its still gonna be cool... Nice start
