rsxse240 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I used to have one of these way back in the 80s. I never bothered getting another one, but now that I'm older, I'd love to find one and play around with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 So are you doing them strictly box stock to enter in that category at the comp ?? If so will be interesting to watch you build these. I always wondered if you ever get burnt out doing full on detail builds one after the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 They both look great. Also curious about the box stock comment. I can see you've added plastic to the custom and mesh for the grill for the gasser so neither would be allowed in a box stock class. Still I like what you are doing and will be following.

espo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Question on the Alclad trim. I'm having to redo a bumper because the "chrome" seems to rub off with any handling. Do use a clear top coat on yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Teresi Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Question on the Alclad trim. I'm having to redo a bumper because the "chrome" seems to rub off with any handling. Do use a clear top coat on yours? David.......no,I don`t use any clear coat........I try to handle the Alclad parts with a soft cloth........never handle with bare hands.......if you need to touch up any Alclad parts.......I do so when the parts are already glued onto the build......... then I mask around the area with very weak adhesive tape .......then airbrush the area again.........thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
