  1. Excellent ! That's the nicest build of Alan's championship car I've ever seen , well done !
  2. I realize that you've got a lot more to do but that engine looks fantastic sitting in that bare engine compartment !
  3. As a fan of 60's I like the hardtop look , great job ! And I like the Continental kit too , never would have thought of doing that .

    1966 Nova SS

    Nova's look great in black , especially if it's an SS . . . well done !
  5. Nice work Al , looks just like the photo !
  6. That black primer does look great ! The spacing is something nobody will ever notice unless you tell them , even then I doubt they would see what you see .
  7. Those first stripes look sharp ! I just recently tried the Tamiya tape and was surprised how well it works , I didn't spray any clear before the color and still had no bleed under the edges .
  8. Had no idea this had been bumped , Thanks very much everybody for the nice comments !
  9. Nothing wrong with building your way and I like it , the colors look great ! I build both ways . . . sometimes I like to detail and build an accurate model while other times I like a simple out of the box build .
  10. Looks like your booth gives plenty of light for photographing models , that's seems to be a problem with a lot of them . Sharp looking Ramchargers Dodge ! Good call cutting the stripes apart !
  11. Everything about this kit can be real bear to do but you pulled it off , congrats on a beautiful Beatnik Bandit !
  12. Love that color combination on a Charger , beautifully done !

    Yellow streak.

    Never seen that kit done better , congrats ! Curious what yellow paint you used , always hard to find nice yellows .
  14. Found em' they were tucked way inside the flaps of the boxes . I looked earlier but with not much light I missed 'em .
  15. Received my two kits yesterday and as said earlier everything looks great ! I especially like the new tires ! One thing though is that neither kit had any decals , are there supposed to be any included ? Not a deal breaker for me , just curious .
  16. Great restoration ! The addition of the gold stripes really sets it apart , well done !
  17. Beautiful Vette ! Very clean and well detailed , great job !
  18. Beautifully done , the paint and foil work is excellent !
  19. Ooooo that's nice ! Great color and you're right , that's a good photo .
  20. Thank you Carl ! Thanks much Steve , they were a real challenge for sure ! I doubt the current thicker foil would have worked .
  21. Thanks David ! Thanks Dan ! Thanks JR !
  22. It was sprayed directly over the red paint . These chrome paints spray very heavy so you need to hold the can at least 18 inches from the part being sprayed and move the can side to side quickly .
  23. I sure like those open vents ! I'll have to try that on an old body before screwing up something nice .
  24. It's been a while since I posted an update but finally had some time last week to work on a few things . After painting the top boot I applied the snaps by dabbing a little clear and then positioning the washers , when everything dried it was sprayed with some semi-gloss clear . Also glued the headlight lens in place to finish the grille/bumper . The big task was foiling the body . Not a lot really but it was more difficult since I was piecing together small pieces of the New Improved Chrome I have left . The side trim for example used six or seven pieces and took a couple of hours to finish each side . The rest was pretty straight forward except for the taillight bezels which are a combination of foil and Molotow Chrome . There are several small details to take care of and then I can start the final assembly . I might just finish it this year !!
  25. Ooooo that's nice ! A really clean well detailed build , beautiful paint and great job painting the stripe !
