  1. These are the Daisy Wheels I know of. In 1:1 they are American Racing Wheels 200S.
  2. Good to see you are back at it again. I have been in a slump as well. Started at least 5 projects but none of them made it as far as paint. I am currently distracted as I am rebuilding my spare 1:1 455 Pontiac engine for my 72 GP. I will be following your progress.
  3. One of my favorites was Firefly. I actually bought the DVD set.
  4. I guess you were taught to respect other people's (and your) property early on in your childhood. Kudos to you parents.
  5. I am still old school. Scrape paint carefully. Mix Testors red tube with Plastruct liquid and apply sparingly with a toothpick. Model stays together with out losing parts for going on decades.
  6. Very nice! A unique combination of billet wheels retina burning paint.
  7. I am along for the ride. I have dreams of making my L700 into a short tanker. Like the septic tank cleaning type.
  8. Thanks. I long ago I determined that stance is WAY more important than wheels that actually ROLL. So I tend to build suspensions stock in relation to the chassis. I then painstakingly glue the tires to whatever is available. I do so in exactly the position I want them to be located in the wheelwells. Do I get misalignment from the ends of the suspension? Sure, but I do not have anyone in my life flipping my models upside-down to give me any grief over it.
  9. Other than the "Sad eyes" of the outer headlights. That Amigo kit can turn out pretty nice. I converted mine to a 69 Boss 429.
  10. I have gotten stuff from Keith before. He has a quite a few offerings. I have not contacted him for awhile. I could make the decals at home but I do not have the artwork files. A hi-res scan would work but you have already applied yours.
  11. That turned out sweet. What was your method for doing the emblems?
  12. Way cool build. I have the 70 Jo-Han kit and a resin hood. What I do not have is the decals. Any leads?
  13. Dual tires looks much better than dual axles.
