was gonna be box stock but i realized the hood and side trim on this car looks like ###### in scale and 1:1 so i shaved it all off, the color is gonna be nail polish, again. i know i know but for a buck it puts most paints to shame when it comes to metallic depth.

Hopefully a gasser! I have one coming very shortly. Just ordered a tear drop for the hood from my friend Ed Fluck at drag city casting. Will do a white and yellow fade on mine. Would love to watch another gasser!! Jody

Do you have the same problem that I do, that you have to explain yourself when you are taking the bottles of polish out to check the colors in good light, I really get some strange looks sometimes. :unsure:

How many bottle of nailpolish to paint one car? Thin it with lacquer thinner?

one with the thinner i use because its a 3:1 ratio and it sprays out beautifully. i use Acrylic Enamel thinner i breaks it down better than laquer.
