  1. That looks like fun ! Do you have a link to them ?
  2. Those look like 600cfm Holleys , and they would look good on a 409 !
  3. Great looking build ! Really like the camo paint .
  4. Oh yeah, that's beautiful ! Great colors and details . I love late 50's wagons and 2 doors are even better ! Beautiful job !
  5. I say " Go for it ! " . You can do any thing with a dune buggy . I've got some of those rear tires for my next one but I haven't figured out what it should look like !
  6. I'm thinking about doing that for an old Funny Car build I'm planning . It should help but it might get too thick and the edges show up under a clear coat . If you try it send me a PM and let me know how it looks .
  7. It looks great and it's really green ! Never been a fan of Vipers but yours is very clean and detailed nicely , as are all of your builds . I never thought photos could be too large !
  8. When you use clear paper the ink will be transparent and the body color will always show thru and alter the decals colors , some worse than others . The only sure way to stop it is to use white paper , but unless you can match the background to the body color that's not an option most of the time . Depending on the design of the decal , I have painted over the proper color with a small brush before clear coating .
  9. Looks really cool ! Love the wheels and wide whites .
  10. Beautifully done ! The stance and those wheels and tires look great ! Your BMF and engine detailing add a lot to it .
  11. Great looking T-Bolt ! Your paint and trim are perfect, and the front bumper really finishes it off ! Nice .

    My 51

    Nice and smoooooth ! Looks great !
  13. Try going to the Post Office instead of doing it online . I don't think there is a " Priority " for overseas packages . I just mailed a kit ( >2 lbs. ) to Austrailia for 12 dollars and change , and I even remarked to the clerk that it was less than mailing it to California !
  14. Eyegore's got a very cool ride ! They both look great , I never get tired of seeing these great cars . So many different ways to build them that you could be at it for a long long time !
  15. Every thing is looking great Jason ! I really like the smooth dash , what a difference ! Nice job with the tires too , I've been doing it that way for a long time . Keep up the good work !
  16. I print a test decal on plain paper first . If it looks good I cut a piece of decal paper about 1" larger than the decal and tape it right on top of it with scotch tape . Insert the paper in your printer and print the decal . This way I can make sure the resolution and size are correct and print one small decal at a time without wasting decal paper . It goes thru my printer just fine since it still isn't as heavy as most quality photo paper . The SG100 will work just fine , just make sure the decal is lying flat when you spray it . If it is hanging vertical the color will run right off when you spray it ! I always use what ever clear I plan on finishing my model with so that it's all compatible .
  17. Maybe the nicest one I've seen !

    Cro Sal Cheetah

    What he said ! Another great Cheetah Chris ! I especially like this one , the Cro - Sal Special was one of my favorites .
  19. Beautiful " Square Bird " !
  20. Beautifully done ! Hard to believe it started life as a promo !
  21. It's unanimous ! We all love it ! Great job , and I like the wheels too .
  22. She's a real beauty ! Another great looking '58 for your collection !

    29A Tudor

    Great looking build ! I like the color and the smooth look of the body . Really nice engine detailing too , especially the carbs . Those old paint brushes came in handy too !
  24. Very nice ! You did a great job adding the roof to the AMT kit . I tried the JF body too and ended up doing about the same thing , that resin body was just a mess . Also , you are the first one I've seen who correctly painted the body color in the headlight surrounds , very good !
