  1. I'll I'll be there. I have one table and ten models to show.
  2. Besides "pinning" the door handles you can use Future for an adhesive. Even if a little gets on the paint it will be perfectly clear.
  3. I'm still going to buy a couple of these kits when I can. #1 It is a great subject. #2 Look at all the goodies if you don't like the body or frame, which you can just forward to me for proper disposal.
  4. Another beautiful save.
  5. Man !, your black paint jobs always look so shinny.
  6. Great paint. Always thought the MoPar air cleaners looked good, glad you staid with the stock color on those.
  7. Great idea. I have often thought of something like this just never got around to it. This proves its doable and looks great.
  8. Very nicely designed. Looks like some of the trailers I remember seeing on the road years ago.
  9. I rode bikes as a young man, mostly dirt though, and never at speeds like this. Watching the video gives me "tunnel vision" and the corners jacks with my equilibrium. Then the rider looks at the guy passing him. Makes you wonder who didn't drink enough energy drink this morning.
  10. You're correct about the color range. They have about everything you could want. Do you know if the paint is compatible with our Plastics ??
  11. This reminds me of why I limit myself to just a max of two projects at once. I used to have four or five and I would just loose my way as to what I was doing bouncing from one to the other. I'm putting the finishing touches on a build for the Hartland Model Car contest this weekend. I have been building one of the Hemi-Hydro kits I bought several years ago, for a tow vehicle I have modified a '66 Chevelle wagon. So I have a modified ski boat and trailer and the wagon all going at once. I'm again convinced that I should just do one at a time in the future.
  12. Nice to see that you're back after this one. The picture of the tailgate looks as though you were able to completely remove the tailgate moldings without any shadows.
  13. The custom grill looks great.
  14. I agree the flat hood does look better. I like so many others have used Hart Parts and I'm completely satisfied.
  15. I have very little experience in this area, so others may be able to offer far better ideas. I think that what I would do is to scan the saved decals as soon as possible so that you have the image stored on your computer. Then you could reprint them as many times as needed in the future. My thought is that any decal weather they have been used or not seem to deteriorate with time.
  16. I tend to agree with you on combining of body parts. But the down side is that something like a pick-up bed with two sides, a head board, two fenders and a tail gate even with a good solid floor it makes a very fiddly assembly.
  17. That is a perfect color match to the original.
  18. You should Resin Cast that body before you paint it.
  19. I was going to remark on the fender skirts size , but your post to Ferbz answered my question. The more I look at it the more I appreciate the "flow" you're going for. You mentioned wanting the build to look like a factory car, and I believe that had you chopped the top any more than you did you might have lost that effect. The body lines all flow very nicely together.
  20. Looks like a great kit. The Resin engine looks outstanding.
  21. Great looking patina finish. Your build looks great, but something about this kit's body has always bothered me. The windshield looks like it is raised on the top edge and the "fall" of the front edge of the hood just doesn't look correct to my eye. Like what you made of this kit.
  22. Great looking ET Racer.
  23. I like how you blended the parts from several other kits on this build. The body color almost looks like an OEM Ford color. I like the pin stripes also.
  24. Great looking color.
  25. Great picture, looks like the top of the hill before you drop into the "cork screw" at Laguna Seca. The blue car clearly shows a very stock looking fuel filler. The subject you're using in your build looks to have the stock filler and a quick fill in the trunk. The gold car may have competed in events from different sanctioning bodies that allowed the use of a quick fill. The gold car also appears to have a small tube type bumper that may have been allowed since the fuel tank is so exposed. I think your modifications to this kit have been outstanding and I have enjoyed watching your build.
