  1. the new revell 48's single bar flippers and printed white walls seems like a no brainer for this kit.
  2. yeah, ive always HATED enamels, i used lacquers for ages, but now that i have an air brush and a compressor, ive been using Dupont chromabase base clear paints, that stuff literally dries in about 10 minutes
  3. yeah, i will admit its a pretty sweet deal. Since modern pearls and metallics ARE NOT cheap! the blue i put on my 48 ford came from his stockpile
  4. in fact, here it is! http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=Jack_Calori's_1941_Ford
  5. i wasnt thinking chassis wise i was thinking wheels and tires wise. make a traditional rod out of it. There a Gene winfield built 41 id like to make a clone of. Need rear fenders from the AMT 50 chevy pick up and a bed from a 56 ford to do it though.
  6. a NEW tool 57 chevy convertible.
  7. the revell 66 is a great kit.
  8. my uncle is owner/operator of a body shop. I get free run of any leftover paint he has.

  11. i figure tray and have them done for a year from now and entry times is wide open from now till then
  12. you wouldnt be able to rub out the pearl clear without sealing it with a regular clear first.
  13. not that i can think of, i plan on getting at least 3 or 4 more, pluss the one ive just started.
  14. they also make a rattle can pearl white so does testors (one coat lacquer White lightning)
  15. likely tomorrow virgil, i wanna get some clear on it first
  16. im trying brad, ill be clearing it tomorrow, painting the last couple bits on the engine that i need to paint, so its a distinct possibility itll be done for sat.... and as for work its REALLLLLLLLLY slow lol
  17. or for a cool 450k you can have one of these bad boys Used to run one, it is a very awesome piece of kit.
  18. very cool.
  19. smithy's makes one that sells for 12,995 BUT it has a 3 hp spindle motor and comes with software. so, yeah MUCH better value for the money.
  20. Started another, Interior will be a REd black 2 tone, with a red dash, Red wheels, frame, engine. Body in gloss black with the single bar flipper hubcaps.
  21. well, i suppose any of the 48's will work, i did have the new one in mind, lets say, any of the 48's as long as some of the new one's parts are utilized (wheels/tires etc)
