    I haven't seen the Buick, But I do follow the 72 Charger build . Its just sometimes I don't comment. either way, I wouldn't worry about it. Build for yourself not public attention

    I dont do it edit, Unless I am trying to get a point across . Sometimes pictures really ARE worth a thousand words

    I've got this one on the bench now . But I think I painted maybe 10 years ago,,,,give or take a year or 2. I dug it back out here a few weeks ago in hopes to remove another long stalled project into the done display case sooner than later.

    I seem to remember there is/was an Australian version based Holden that is very similar to the newer Camaro that's an El Camino looking thing ?

    Take a handfull of flat sided toothpicks and stick them to self adhesive DA sand paper . Then with a sharp Xacto knife cut them along the sides of the toothpick,,,,'tada' instant miniature sanding files

    These I've bought as is ,,,some as many as 10-12 years ago. a few just in the past couple of years. Some are real nice, others are decent but I cant bring myself to take them apart to restore them . So most likely I'll build my own someday and display them together,,,, someday.

    A few more from my case.All of these I built myself most have been around a while.

    Agreed, but I would care to wager most of those same people don't care it even exists or could afford it if it did . Besides,,,,,The vast majority of these types of builds are nothing more than a styling exercise to show they CAN do it .

    Its a PPG base color that requires a clear top coat . I have I think I have most of a gallon can of PPG enamel reducer , is that ok to use ? I told the guy that mixed it I was using Upol urethane as a clear cote and he didn't say not to use it . weather permitting I would like to paint this body this weekend

    I'll applaud this kind of effort any body - any day. There is a TON of time on a CNC machine to fabricate all that BUT, IMO, the car is dead ugly. Plus they show the car, and they show the engine. but I don't see any thing to show that engine is in that car.

    WOW. But have to ask , is the reason stuff like this is done in brass is due to having to solder the pieces together ,,,,. As opposed to just doing it in aluminum same as the full size piece. ?

    The rest

    I just picked up an original art series of this kit this weekend. Sorry for not having pictures of the body and hood, its on the stand now in primer. other wise here is whats in the kit . It does have the green glass and some funky clear looking headlight lenses for the customer stuff I guess. No side glass of any kind

  21. gtx6970
    I just picked up one yesterday. I can snap off a few pictures later today
  22. gtx6970
    Very very nice
  23. gtx6970
    I built the recent model king issue . and it doesn't have a coil spring suspension
  24. gtx6970
    Mine is in a big flat box, and its molded in white. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions of this kit released. Had it been molded in this aqua color you mention , I probably wouldn't have bought it
  25. gtx6970
    I picked up some paint today. Guy said to thin it to spray I need to use a reducer ( color is a base / clear urethane based ) Do I need any special kind of reducer or thinner ? I already have some regular enamel reducer here,,is it ok to use ?
