  11. If these vendors are having personal,production problems,or what ever.Just post a notice that you are not taking orders at this time.
  12. I just tried it on Lindberg 53 Ford Contiental Kit. The area that I masked was the center circle where the Ford logo is. I followed the directions.When I airbrushed it I kept away from the mask so there was a minimal amount of paint on it.The mask would not come off no matter what tool I used. Even the scapel that I use for BMF could not peal it off. The mask is water based but still hot water,soap,Super Clean and Easy OFF did not work.The part is ruined too many scrape marks. The first time I used it I had the same problems.This time I brushed it on really thick and still no luck. I give it a big thumbs down Mike

    MIDNITE

    I took a break from Drag Cars.I have always wanted a 1:1 Black 62 T-Bird and I'll name her MIDNITE.I built it box stock except for BMF.The paint is HOK Black Basecoat.I spent 4 hours photographing this car.It seems that any BMF flaw,dust,light panel lines,fingerprint smudges really stand out on a black paint job. And knocking off the mirrors while handling and polishing is just another added bonus After fixing these flaws I was finally satisfied with the photos. Thanks for looking Mike
  18. I did some research on 1970's Chevy Funny Cars and they were running 427's.
  19. I am going to build his 1970 Corvette Funny Car.Would he be running a Chevy 427/454 or had the NHRA mandated the 500 cu,in. block by then? I did do a Google search and did not find a answer. Thanks, Mike
  20. I FLIPPED A PIECE OF CARPET OVER AND PUT MY TABLE AND CHAIR ON TOP. THAT IS HOW I DEFEATED THE CARPET MONSTER
  21. YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB.GREAT DETAILING
  22. I would hate to look in my rear view mirror and see that on my tail !!!! One mean machine
  23. Again thanks for the comments. Nice catch Dominik. When I came back inside from taking pictures I was wondering what that yellow crumb stuck to my finger was. Lee, 1017 is just part of an ID I use for work.
  24. While watching the Mecum Auction I saw a Z28 with this color cobo the car was stunning even on TV. I was pleased how the sun really lit up the paint. Thanks for your comments Mike
