Our Club Challenge

[Gregg]

Here is my build for our club challenge, the '69 Nova from Revell with Bob Dudek rims.

[RodBurNeR]

nice color and Bob's wheels look perfect on it! is that a Drag City hood?

[Modlbldr]

Gregg-

That is going to be awesome. I love the work so far. Those rims are great. Does Bob have a site to order from?

Later-

I was thinking of going two-tone, black on top, the purple on the bottom.

Hey man i think that that would be a sweet combination. would you also paint the hood black, or maybe just the scoop ?

[Tom Kren]

Yes very nice so far and the wheels set it off! Hey what color is that anyways?

[BKIN10SECS]

Did you use that new airbrush on dat baby....and are those recent BD rims....oh yeah, go with the two tone.

[made007]

is that a corvette scoop?

[Gregg]

It would be the whole top half, hood, scoop, and all

Yes, that's the new GREX airbrush, was fantastic!

No fogging, nothing!

It's the Purple from House of Kolors, I will go outside and look at bottle.

[Nick Winter]

Looks Good Boss.

[Gregg]

I went two-tone, black on top.

The hood is from Mike's Speed Shop:

From the December 2008 issue:

"Mike’s Scale Speed Shop has a new resin hood for the Revell ‘69 Nova. Based on a Corvette 427-style hood scoop, this hood fits perfectly on the Revell kit. It retails for $5.00 plus shipping and handling. Check out Mike’s web site at MikesScaleSpeedShop.com for this and other great resin products, decals, and accessories for your builds."

Bob Dudek posts here and can be seen whenever there is a full moon.

(just kidding, Bob, you know I love yah!)

[BKIN10SECS]

Thanks, Jay!

Will I see you at the Atlanta show in November?

[BKIN10SECS]

Dirk has been trying for a couple of years now to get me to that show....its just a time issue...man we'll see.

[Gregg]

You can borrow my watch!

[vizio93]

wow man nice paint job !!! wat engine is gonna be pullin' that nova off the line?

[Steven Zimmerman]

Actually,Gregg....I think what you meant was that Bob Dudek MIGHT post here if there's a full moon,if he FEELS like it(grin).....Anybody else think he's starting to resemble Grumpy Jenkins,as they both get older? (especially the GRUMPY part (grin)....I love ya TOO,Dude........................the'Z'man

[Gregg]

Bad news.

The Nova is taking a bath.

That's not a good thing

It's in 91% rubbing alcohol, not the kind I like...

So, while it was in there, decided to strip off all markers, etc.

Will paint again today or morrow.

[Buildsince93]

that sucks what happened it was lookin real good!

[Gregg]

Nah, it's easy to do again

this time right

it didn't smell right either

I don't think I let the silver base dry enough before the purple went on.

Live and learn

[Guest JamesDE]

Ahhh man, that is a shame about the paint. It was lookin real good too. But you'll get it worked out.

[Gregg]

Started painting again today.

Should be pau tomorrow for the club meeting

Need to find a killer motor for it.

Any suggestions?

[vizio93]

how about a Ls2 out of the 05' vette. maybe you could supercharge it too ?

[BKIN10SECS]

Turbo diesel....I'm serious

[Dave Mikrut]

I know what you are sayin bout the smell Gregg. When they're gassin out, it's almost like you can still smell both paints. One time I had applied it so soon, I could rub the top coat off down to the silvercoat, which was also still gassin out and I could smell it crazing the plastic! But now I'm hearing you are using alcohol for a paint stripper? Will it do silver and gold? I always have trouble stripping those.
