the solutions come in 8oz bottles.i put about a tbsp in a dose cup and when i was done i had enough left over i put it back in the bottle.it has a wond with a swob on the end.you dip it in the solution and just stert rubing the metal over and over and over.it takes about a half hour.i would say that you would have hundreds of applications in a bottle.

i know this isnt a drag car but i know everyone here uses dirtmodelers awesome drag parts...............i just finished up a usac car and i used the brass rim centers from dirtmodeler.....the rim center needed to look aluminum so i painted them with alclad.from the pics they look ok but in person they look painted so i bought micro marks plating system and gave it a shot.........here is what i came up with.on the right is the brass p.e. sheet and on the left is the same sheet plated in crome(it still needs to be pollished).and the rim on the car is painted alclad..........looks pretty good if you ask me.i highly recomend getting the plating kit it is about $50.00

im not sure how close to scale mine is but the one i scrach built is 21cm high.base to the top of the handle..........could you throw in a msd trigger wheel in 1/25 and 1/16 scale.im sure there are others who would like to see it done.

that is awesome!!!! the skills of the builders on this site is like no other.....i would like to see dirtmodeler put that msd trigger wheel put on a 1/25 and 1/16 scale drag photo etch sheet.......anybody else with me? not to put him on the spot or anything

thank you.that is going to help alot.imm not sure what kits you are talking about.does it have to be a monogram kit only or is it a revell monogram kit.what year ect............sorry i dont know my kits if you could just give me the name of a few kits that have the correct chassis that would help me alot....thanks.................ps why does the 1/25 scale monza d.p. kit come with the wrong chassis?

clay,your work and detail is awesome.looks like a person can get alot more detail out of a 1/16 build compared to a 1/25.....looking forward to learning more about details........ps wre can i find this video bart put out?

i have the same question about f.c. chassis.mooneyzs awesome build has me wanting to build my 1/25 scale prudhomme army monza but i cant find pics of the chassis.is it like the arrow chassis or is it different.ive also seen pics of the monza with different injector hats.what hat is correct?.......will the chassis from the revell blue max work....if its like the arrow i could modell it after mooneyzs.

thats ok,you were right. i was looking to build that specific car.what i was thinking is if i couldnt find photos of the cars engine and chassis ect.then i could wing it with pics from other 61' bel airs......ive thought alot about doing a phantm build but im always conserned on how it will turn out....i dont have much of an imagination LOL...

thanks you guys are very helpfull...yes i was looking for refence pics from the orange car but in the end any will do.......thanks also for the color matches or potential matches...matching colors is very hard for me.im not color blind but i can never get it right.

im just about done with my jegs pro stock and trying to pic out my next pro mod project.i bought this impala from comp resins and was thinking about building it but i cant find anything on it.slixx has the decal on one of thier sheets but theres nothing on the color.no reference pics anywhere that i could find.comp resins has a few pics but there not much...........anybody got anything on this car?

i need a little help.i know this is funny but i said i didnt know much about drag cars......i got the front runners mounted and was about to mount the rear slicks when i realized i dont know what direction the wrinkle on the slick are suppost to face.....here are the pics of the mock-up...is it correct or do i switch them.thanks LOL.

yes please.the more parts the better.

that sucks i have flash piont corvette but i was looking for one without a rear wing.i was thinking about removing the wing off the flash point but it dont look like it can be done without a total rebuild.

is tdr going to do the 11" rear end in 1/24-25 scale?

wayne,that is awesome.love the colors and the decals.that will catch the eye big time on the show table.were would a person get a coevette body like that?

i just joined here today and saw your sprintcar it looks awesome.i saw that you posted it at scale sprints. ive been a member overthere for years and i know they will love it.there is a great bunch guys at scale sprints you will enjoy them.its a bunch of guys who not only love to build sprints but it is are favorite form of racing.i have a section on my fotki that is full of reference pics if you want to take a look.i also have some build but they are 1/24 scale.looking forward to whatching this build. http://public.fotki.com/shang31/

thanks for the kind words.....yes i agree this is the best forum going.the builds here are top notch.....for some reason im having problems posting more pics but if you click on my fotki link at he top of this post i have step by step pictures of my builds.

the liberty shifter is made out of plastic sheet.aluminumsheet, photo etch junk and rb motion rod ends. if anyone can get dirtmodeler or another after market company to do a photo etch set for the liberty shifter i would be greatful. if i have to build another like that it will put me in the nut house.

here are some pics of my first pro stock.i couldnt get many pics of the real car with the hood off or the entior so i had to guess on how it would look.i used the revell tubs altered the trans tunnell and dash,scratch bult a chassis and addes some scratch built stuff along with alot of aftermarket,pro tech,d.m.,mas,ect.......... working on the comp resin body and have nitro tech aluminum wheels.these pics are the best i can do.

just found this place and i love it.ive built a few drag cars but i dont know much about them so i just go off pics.........this looks like a great place to learn a few things.you guys have got some awesome builds going here.ive posted some pics.i hope i did it right.if not you can go to my fotki until i figure it out. http://public.fotki.com/shang31/
