Ford Dove Gray. Greg Moore told me that decades ago.

MCW Auto finishes has an airbrush match for that car. If you do not use an airbrush, ask if he can put it into an aerosol can. Hope this helps.

I am looking for a couple sets of the Whistler Mustang IMSA decals. PM if you have them, thanks in advance.

Try using Mr. Hobby Lacquer thinner. It is cool enough to thin and not harm the plastic. I used Testors lacquer thinner with good results so the Mr. Hobby will do a good job too. Mr. Hobby is self lev ...

#1 David Pearson, a master at preserving his equipment and was a consistent winner on all types of tracks.
#2 Junior Johnson, a master mechanic and a guy that would take the cars to their limit.

Mr. Hobby makes great primers also. I still have some of a large can of MCW light gray and it is excellent too. It also will cover and protect well when thinned like water to avoid covering details.

The five and nine hole wheels were Norris wheels. They debuted in the mid seventies and were the wheel of choice after Holman Moody closed its doors. The Petty cars had five hole wheels of a different ...

There are plenty of Lorenzen's 64 Ford with the Pearl White paint, but I have not found any definite versions of the 63 with the Pearl paint on it. I visited Holman Moody when they were still in the o ...

What are your suggestions for a paint match to the Powerslide 1984 Chameleon Sunglasses T Bird?

The 80's and 90's Salvino kits are the old Monogram kits, but with much better decals.

The Salvinos 80's cars go together well and there are decals for so many versions to build. They would be a good start IMHO.

Use a good automotive primer, I crazed a body pretty bad doing it years ago. I use Duplicolor and MCW, and occaisionally Tamiya and so far so good without issues.

1957 Mercury Persimmon, actually an orange in sunlight. The blue is 1957 Mercury Pacific Blue Poly. There were different mixes of the blue so year make is important.

In need of a 1983-6 Pro Stock Thunderbird tail light.

They were enamels, just like Testors. Erie, Pa., home of NFL greats Fred Biletnikoff and Mark Stepnoski.

It was 1960's Ford Poppy Red.

I see your decals are yellowed. They may be brittle and even breakup. lobographix makes a great decal for that car and it is reasonable also. Good luck.

I have never used the Tamiya clear as my friends say it will eat decals. But I always thought it was silver flake in it, don't know for sure.

For the 1961 Pontiac there was a color called Coronado Red that appears to match the photos pretty closely.

They will configure Bristol like they did for the Hav-a-Tampa dirt races years ago. The banks will be normal angles.

Terry Barton did the Merc grill/bumper and a great job at that.

MCW's 1968 Plymouth Electric Blue Metallic is a perfect match for the blue.

Federal Withholding Tax, Social Security Tax, and Medicare are three different taxes. Therefore eliminating the Federal Withholding has no effect on the others. S. S. and Medicare will continue normal ...

With the multiple billions the usps is in the red, I wonder that in order for it to break even would the price increase go above ups and fed ex? That is what the news never discusses. Maybe renetworki ...

Did you use white prime? the match of the red t the decals looks really close.

Maybe it is time to let private companies bid on postal contracts. Maybe we could get better service at a lower price if some one's survival depended on it rather than throwing money into a bottomles ...

Thanks Dennis.

I used to have access to Dupont clears that did a great job without damaging the decals, but that access is closed now. Looking for something else and Model Master is now not an option. Have you ever ...

Could someone please tell me a good airbrush compressor that has up to 50 psi that they have experience with.

Those are great. i use the small children's aspirin bottles and proper diameter bolts from my work place.

What did you use for clearcoat?

Does anyone have one of these and if so how is the performance of it? There are mixed reviews on the sites I have looked at.

The Starsky & Hutch Torino has a 351 Cleveland with it. That was the engine used until the SVO engines were used in the early eighties.

I've not seen a post from him in a while and he has not responded to a pm I sent him almost two weeks ago. His advice has always helped me and others, Hope he is well.

To add gold flake clear over MCW Candy Apple Red is why I asked. Does the gold flakes spread out evenly or does i look like the flakes are in clusters? I have used House of Kolor with great results a ...

Are there any lacquer hobby paints with to scale gold flakes in it? If so, what is the brand and where can I get it?

The color used from 63 until Ned's retirement in late 66 was Ford Guardsman Blue. Mario's car was Acapulco Blue, a factory FOMOCO color. Tamiya TS-19 is a close match to Ned's car but is a little ligh ...

When is the projected release of the 71 Charger?

Clayton Moore played John Francis Reid, a.k.a., The Lone Ranger.

Has anyone experienced mail theft? Package theft is getting bad around Christmas but seems it's growing at all others times as well. A close family member recently had his industrial zero turn mower ...

I'll take five, with no disrespect to the great Dave Brubeck. Still awaiting the 66-7 Plymouth stuff.

Where are you getting the BSI Glue? I heard that glue was excellent, and strong too.

check your pm.

Try decanting into a glass jar. Then stir it a few minutes to get the aerosol boiled out enough to spray through an airbrush. Guys on youtube are doing it with great results.
