Whats up guys, I haven't built in a long time but I have been getting back into the model game over the last couple months. Me and the wife just had a baby in November so I have been spending a lot more time in the house bored so I started building again. Here is a couple newer rides, let me know what u think. I am open to ideas and some constructive criticism. I bought an Iwata airbrush and been screwing around with it, but I am pretty much starting over after several years of not building, so I am trying to accumulate some different paints and different shit to get more detailed with my builds.

Thanks, I really like the Aoshima wheels, they are super nice, and they came with 2 amps, 2 rear square subs, 2 front square subs, 4 component speakers and 2 cd players, and I think it was around $22 shipped from Tokyo. I didn't think that was too hateful, but now I am going to have to get a truck to throw them on, or redo my 99 silverado I have, that is in a box falling apart. Maybe get it out and shave everything, and build a full frame and all that good stuff :yes:

What the hell am I supposed to put over Alclad II chrome?? I sprayed it on the suspension parts of the Regal hopper and it looked real nice, but it was rubbing off when I was handling it, so I misted a coat of laquer clear on it and it turned to shit.. What am I doing wrong?? :banghead:

Cool man, thanks. I think I might gather a bunch of parts up and send them to Chrometech, looks like it could get pricey though. Thats the only thing that is going to come close to real chrome though.

Finally, I layed out the pattern decals that I got from Trendsetta 68. Here it is mocked up, still gotta foil it and clear it. It definately isn't as yellow as I was hoping for but oh well..

Got the monte cleared and foiled.. That kandy really brought out the flaws after I cleared it. Its got a couple knicks and small scratches that must have been in the primer, but otherwise turned out pretty good I guess.

Been messin with this rat rod a little bit. Not using this motor, I just wanted to see what it would look like with a top feul motor in it, going to use the flathead that came with it. This is my first rust bucket attempt.
