LOL i can imagen that, when my kids are not around that how i do it, put my coat and spray in the kitchen, but always with all the windows open, after that couple candles make the trick

I had a similar problem my wife is super sensitive to any type of paint other than water based acrylics.  I finally fell off my wallet  and build a spray booth out on one sheet of MDF  and a bathroom fan 150 CFM.  Changed my life  cut out a blank to go into the tracks of a sliding window and attached the exhaust hose to that Got fancy and added a furnace filter to the system   Net result out of pocket $195,00 CAN, spray anytime I want to, wife HAPPY, so I'm happy, can spray small pieces without worry and the paint Jobs are better With the filter zero overstay on the exhaust fan.  This has helped my modeling more than any other cash outlay, and our home life is much better. My recommendation build one ,buy one , or borrow one it's  a no lose deal!

that's awesome, in order to make my own booth i need the area, which i don't have for the moment, but i will LOL, but i like the way you build your booth, great start for me thanks for sharing that Ian

I did some work with the beast, not much but good for me, Added some decals to the chassis and is clear, added some detail parts on the interior, clutch, brake and gas pedals, added a 1/16 aluminum tub for the stirring column and a clock gear for the stirring wheel parts, came out nice on my point of view, then i did some work on the blower, after detail painting the fuel valve and the fuel distributor block, added the details to the blower hat and they came out great, am really happy with the results, hope you guys like it...

Great work Marcos!  I love all the details you added so far, the "beast" as you call it is really a name that fits it well... ?

Hello guys, did a lot of work on the blower hat details, only need to add the linkage and retraction spring, hope to complete that this week, hope you guys like it...

Good job again Marcos, "The Beast" looks even meaner with the blower hat on the engine!  Great details my friend! ?

Thank you Glen, i really appreciated

Well guys, first time i have this up and down feeling on a build...

First i put a lot of work on the rear end and the wheelie bars, the wheelie bars i wanted to be a 92" in scale for this project

Soon as i mounted everything on the chassis, i find out the the wheelie bars hit the chassis and didn't let the tire touch the ground, and the 4 link arms were to long and make the wheel and tire out of center

At the end, the wheels and tires were center, but the 92" wheelie bars was gone, end up with a 78" wheelie bars in scale

this is my basic idea with all the work

So i have to take everything a part, i damage the paint on the 4 ling brackets

This is my final result

missing information

I think that's bad for a good Marcos, the shorter wheelie bars are more appropriate for that big body.  There are no such builds that are done without small adjustments along the way, you are heading in the right direction my friend! ?

Thank you Francis, for a moment i though i was going to damage the work, but at the end, came out great, i need to make some touches and need to add more details to that area, but that will be next...

I wouldn't even worry about the dinged paint on the four-link brackets. They move those things, all the time!

For anyone still interested in the body, it's from Perry's Resin, based on the Dodge Fever 1964 Dodge Polara.

I have a body in storage at my nephew's house, along with a '64 Comet Pro-Mod body from Bandit Resins, it's pretty much a copy of the Ronnie Sox Comet.
