  1. If you precisely follow the doctors advice you will recover. A guy at work bent over to pick up a box of Clorox and detached his retina. Pretty crazy !!!! Anyway he is back to work. The miracles of modern medicine. Stay strong Mike
  2. I just ordered 2 different colors and the 2 part clear for the Aventador . If the paint comes in time I will post my results next week. Mike
  3. I to was exited when I got the Orange Crate. Could not wait to start the build. It was the worst model I have ever tried to build
  4. HOK does need to be shot over automotive primer. Most of HOK paints are basecoats and do need to be cleared. I also see orange peel but no crazing . You do have to color sand it before the clear. Don't worry about color sanding metallic paint. It looks like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH when you are done but comes to life after the clear. You will be amazed. I am gonna paint my Aventador using HOK Galaxy Grey Metallic Basecoat If all goes well I post it here next week.
  5. Fantastico
  6. BEAUTIFUL !!!
  7. I used made a Epoxy cylinder head using Silly Putty . I just pressed the head into the putty and filled it with JB Weld the 24 hour cure. While far from perfect. A little bit of sanding and it was useable .
  8. I got an E-mail from Shelby America stating that they do not own the car.
  9. America's Best Train and Hobby Shop in Itasca IL Berwyn's Toys and Trains Berwyn IL I really like their Slot Car inventory. Since I have too many hobbies already I can't justify a Slot Car collection
  10. Very Nice
  11. She looks good. The side mirrors need some foil or silver paint
  12. Beautiful
  13. Nice Great diorama
  14. Of course I know he is dead. Is the family hurting for money? Family feud over his will? Expand Shelby America? Donate the money to the Shelby Foundation or some other charity? Who knows. Maybe the reason will come out at the auction. Even though there is no comparison I still have the first dollar my dad made from his body shop. Wouldn't the Shelby family want to keep the first car? Maybe they are not that sentimental. Mike
  15. When I took the Shelby America Tour it was stated [Carroll turned down $26,000,000 for CSX 2000] .What changed ? The car belongs right where it is. Check out R M Southeby's for the info. Mike
  16. I would connected it up and see if there is an air leak. That's where the O ring goes ?
  17. Nice work Tulio. Do you have a tutorial on You Tube ? Mike
  18. Great color combo
  19. KOOL
  20. Very nice
  21. NICE!!!!! Did you use a basecoat or just primer?
  22. Great job. The engine is killer {wash} I think that there is some sort of production flaw with those decals. The white ones I wanted to use just cracked apart. The black ones also cracked. But like you I saved it.
