  7. Thanks. well when you have a 2 week winter break with nothing to do but eat build and fill out job applications you get a lot of building done. got most the body done need to do that little wrath they call lights. and i have decided after looking at all the pictures of built lonestars that my hood is sitting normal for the kit other than the moebius promo picture on their instructions. oh yah and my dad just signed up for these forums yesterday he is oldguy70 with only one post its a 71 cuda in the underglass car section. he spent like 2 years building the thing with scratchbuilding and detailing included.
  8. nice!
  9. i do quick i have no patience. anyway got the fenders painted and on, the stacks on sorta, and im working on getting the hood to sit level i figured out the tray behind the windshield wipers is what the hood sets on and is molded way too high. blurry picture though.
  10. well around 930 last night i decided ti try and put the interior in the cab not so easy when the paint is still drying(i had set it over a heater vent to speed up the drying a little but not much) its a tough job when you dont wanna ruin the paint. anyway i was successful. heres a mock up. and as always my pete is pictured. forgot to paint my fenders lol.
  11. For exhausts please find a way to put stacks on it a diesel cant go without stacks even in hotrod form.

  14. um can you tell us how the heck you make everything look perfect?
  15. this has sorta been pushed to the side until i get some decal paper for custom logos and ive been workin on the 40 ford. anybody know good brands under 20$ on amazon? ive been told papilio waterslide is good? I did just throw a coat on the lower front fenders. as always this will be completed just slower than ususal

What is the best decal paper i can get out there under 20$ on amazon? I would greatly appreciate it.this is the logo i was thinking about but with out the red square.

  17. happy new year people. probably no updates today as i am at a friends house, i did although make it t hobbytown yesterday to get the paint for the body.
  18. got the side skirts and front bumper on. Since i got this the pete has been taking a break from transporting shelbies.
  19. i mean the revell america snap and glue kit its a little more than a snap together in my opinion. but i got the lonestar for christmas so ill find out how they look together and even in the same color.
  20. no update but i though that this 1949 international kb-14 looked sorta like a lonestar. could this be the styling? point the nose a little more add lots of chrome a sleeper cab and dual rear axles. do you see it?
  21. heres a couple pictures. the fuel tank and the tail lights.
  22. it now has fuel tanks on the frame and the engine is connected to the radiator
  23. thanks for the kind words guy. heres the interior i did just finish the dashboard but i have not taken a picture of it. still got engine work and other details to do. i think its about time for a new detail brush its bristles are starting to feather out. the color im using for the brown is a wall paint the color is terracotta base coat.
