  1. Very nice work.
  2. A Cobra ? You know I love it !
  3. That is one wild ride.
  4. You often see a car take a hard turn and a hubcap goes flying off and in the nexr scene the hubcap is back. I also remember an old "Starsky and Hutch" episode where the villian pulls in and paints his car to throw off the police and it goes in as one year and comes out as another.
  5. The topless one sort of looks AMX ish to me.
  6. That build up looks great ! I had one of these as a youngster many. many years ago. I don't recall that I ever finished it.
  7. That's her first build ? No way ! It looks like she has been building for years. Very nice work. Looking forward to her second build.
  8. This is going to be nice. How are you going to handle the wood on the sides ?
  9. Your not alone brother. I have lost parts several times in my many years of building. Good luck finding it and good luck at the show.
  10. That looks bad a$$. A red LED in the end of the cigar would be cool.
  11. Looks like a lot of glass on that baby. I like it too.
  12. I caught the first episode and had high hopes that it would be a show about building. I was quickly disapointed. To much drama that doesn't add to the show at all. I am not interested in seeing "pranks' or other childish behavior. I may give it another try but I don't think it will get any better.
  13. Can you post a photo of your problems ? I have used that on a couple of cars with OK results. Did you prime before spraying the silver or gold underbase ? Since your using enamel you have to let it dry much longer before hitting it with the candy. Follow the directions for recoating and all should be good. The only trouble I ever had with candy is that it nevers seems to flow into the panel lines around the doors and such but that is an easy fix .
  14. Nice work.
  15. That looks great, good job !
  16. That's coming along real nice.
  17. Was your body straight ? I had one and the body was warped pretty badly.
  18. Congrats and good luck on the new/old job.
  19. Holy ###### ! It looks like everything you own is on that bench ! I bet you know where everything is though.
  20. Very cool. I like them both.
  21. Nice color combo, looks good.
  22. Thought you guys might like to see a photo of the Pinto panel I bought new in 1977. It was sent to a van conversion shop that removed the rear seat and fabed a frame and turned the back end into a bed. It was fully finished inside including some mood lighting. They also did the custom paint and did murals on both of the fiberglass panels. It was 4 banger with a 4 speed. I know it was only a Pinto but it was pretty cool. No photos of the mods I did including air shocks on the rear to make room for the mags and wide T/A's I put on it. I also had a set of Showtubes installed. All in all it was pretty cool. Also have included some photos of why I got rid of it in a year. It's not a Pinto or a Vega but a pretty rare car. I was taking the Pinto in for an oil change and they had just rolled this Mustang King Cobra off the trailer. I fell in love with it and bought it right then and there. There was only about 5,000 of these made. Pretty much just a cosmetic package but I really liked that car. Wish I still had it. Oh well. life happens. Hope you enjoy the photos.
  23. Here's mine. Kind of clean since I am between projects. I also sometimes build on the island I have in my kitchen.
  24. Looks great ! I gotta build one of those.
