  1. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/5007991499.html This is kinda funky....... is it meant to mimic a Ferrari?
  2. Thanks, guys..... Where would be the best place to order metalizers from? and Can you get them in a spray can?
  3. My first car was actually a project car that I purchased before I bought myself a car to drive...... it was a '67 Plymouth. Paid $800 for the project, but only paid $100 for my driver!! The guy saw that I was buying the driver, a '74 Dart with a slant six, with my own money, so he cut me a deal.............
  4. Nobody guessed this one....... it's "Your's Truely 2095" by ELO....
  5. Thanks for the replies, fellas......... I'll give what advice I can a try...!
  6. I have been using Rustoleum aluminum paint for exhaust and other bare metal parts. Problem is I can only use about 1/3 of a can before it clogs the valve on the inside. Anyone have a suggestion as to a better spray aluminum paint? How does the Tamiya aluminum lacquer look? Thanks for any help.....!
  7. "I met someone who looks a lot like you, She does the things you do, but she is an IBM"........
  8. Noone will get this one, it's "This is a Call" by the Foo Fighters......
  9. "Time won't Let Me"............. sorry I don't know the artist.... half point?
  10. "Fingernails are pretty, Fingernails are good, seems that all they ever wanted was a market".......... a small hint, the artist who did this song wrote all the lyrics, played all the instruments, and produced the album hisself.........
  11. The girls loved this song when I was in High School................. "More Than Words" by Extreme...
  12. Led Zep's "Battle Of Evermore"..............
  13. I have a love/hate relationship with clear coat! You can make a mess of otherwise beautiful work rather quickly if you goof on it, but when the planets are aligned just right and you do a good job, it's a really good feeling.......
  14. "There might have been things I've missed, but don't be unkind, it don't mean I'm blind".............
  15. #1 is "Icky Thump" by The White Stripes.......... The song is about him going to Mexico for a, um, "companion"......
  16. Thank you for the info, Bill....! I always thought the OHV conversions were readily available to the average person, like Edelbrock parts are today..... It would be a more realistic build for the time frame I'm shooting for if I use a Cadillac engine or early Hemi............
  17. Yes! I have much respect for the 'Rogue Poet' and his music.........
  18. Thanks for that! I have the Ardun speed parts, also have a Caddy engine that I was thinking of using.......... I guess either one would work, then......
  19. 1-- "My momma said, that it's good to be fruitful, but my momma said, don't take more than a mouth full..." 2-- "When that fog horn blows, I will be coming home, Yea, when that fog horn blows, I want to hear it, I don't have to fear it.........."
  20. I plan on my next project being a '53 Victoria. I was just wondering.......... would people have put an Ardun-equipped engine in these cars back in the day? If not, what would be a suitable replacement for the kits flathead? I'll be doing it up as a mild custom........ Thanks for any answers....!!
  21. Yep! Even got the album right.............. When I was a kid I had the "Countdown To Extacy" album, been hooked on Steely Dan since..........
  22. 1-- I will be watching over you, gonna help to see you thru, I will protect you in the night..... 2-- On the counter, by your keys, was a book of numbers, and your remedies..........
  23. Thanks, guys! Glad you like it.......... this is a good kit, the SBC engine is nice, I'm saving that for something else, and it comes with a set of 'big & little' Cragers.....
  24. Thanks, Carl...! Yea, the rims are from the panel truck kit, and the tires are from the rat rod '29 pickup......
  25. Here's the latest model that I have completed. I put the Caddy engine from the '49 Merc kit in it, some spots, and custom tail lights which are clearance lights from a '53 pickup.......... I really enjoyed this build, may do another soon... any and all comments welcome!
