DIRTY SANCHO

[riz]

Well Cranky... I love your stuff ! Please bring Camp BLUE LAGOON Blazer back to your work bench! Keep up the great inspirational builds!

[Dr. Cranky]

You know I am always trying to guess what kinds of vehicles would show up at say at a Bo Huff's party or the Primer Nationals, etc . . .

Something like this would not do well in the rain . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, buddy. I think it is here somewheres . . . yeah, I need to finish it!

[Dr. Cranky]

All right, maties, this one is almost done. I just need the plate and a couple of other little things . . . and it should be done . . .

What I like about this kit is that it really comes down to just the three beautiful components . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Here are some new shots . . .

The overcharged sparkplug graphic, I think adds a nice touch . . .

I like the spark plug touch on the door.

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, buddy. Yeah, I found the perfect one in my stencil collection . . . and I thought it fit the theme . . .

Here are some more pics . . .

I really like these low to the ground angles . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Last few . . .

The watch parts always come through with the interesting accents . . .

It was fun to watch this build from beginning to completion..... now get to work on that Blazer. Hahahaha! I'd like to see you do a detailed 4x4 trail rig. I'm just sayin'.... I'm not trying to tell you what to build.

Thanks again for the cool Dirty Sancho project !!!

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, buddy. Yeah, I gotta finish a couple of shiny projects first and then it is back to the rusty and cruddy!

[MrObsessive]

Now I've seen everything!! Better watch out Cranky!

You'll start the next scandal in the Mags..............anyone remember the "Girls of SAE" fiasco?!

[Dr. Cranky]

Oh gosh, yes. I remember it all too well. Ah, man, it reminds me of the fun old days of the mags . . . Plastic Fanatic, etc . . . it's a shame when a magazine loses its sense of humor.

Thank heavens Gregg is insane and he hasn't lost his sense of humor . . .

Oh, gee, maybe he's eavesdropping!

[Dr. Cranky]

All right, friends, thanks for watching as this one got built . . . it finally made it home and into the shop, so a final round of pics . . .

[Guest Mustang3.8]

Oh yeah! It lives up to it's name. Well done. My hat's off to you, sir.

Cranky-

I like the weathering that you did. I have questions. How did you do the salt technique? How did you get it to stick to the body? Did you spray it first with Dullcote to get it to stick and what kind of salt? Was it Kosher? (Just kidding on the last one.)

Super job, Crank.

Great model.

Thanks for asking. I wrote an article for the mag a few issues ago . . .

You can read about the method in detail here:

Also, I use water because it works on melting the salt a little and I've always believed this helps create the right effects. And yes, I do use all types of salts, including Kosher!!!

Sometimes I use the kind in my bagels!!!

[Dr. Cranky]

All right, maties, this one is officially done . . . again, thanks for all your comments . . .
