Bob...you can never have enough H:):)TERS slot cars...zilla

Looks great!

The Hooters Shadow I am working on is a slow build, unfortunately. Trying to cram it in between resin experiments of all types.

Hopefully I can post it up pretty soon.:thumbsup:

Wow, bob. Those shadows are beautiful. You must have that decal maker program on your 'puter. I should invest in that at some point myself...

Id like to see what you can do with some AFX lola T-260s and Tyco Chapparal 2Gs. IMHO, 2 of the best looking examples of HO scale can-ams.

Great looking Shadows! Here's one I just took out of the paint booth. Just waiting for the bare metal foil on the trim and other painted details. Love those Chargers! :thumbsup:

Bob- Great paint jobs on the SHadows. I have a bunch of those that I was considering paint jobs on. THose turned out awesome.
Pshoe - That Model is A is a great piece of work.

Pshoe, Great pick up! Ultra cool fer sure. Blacking the rad out really adds some needed contrast for the AFX grill. How about a shot of the chassis trimming, I dont see any shoes yet?

Bob zilla, None of the shadows ya sent me were painted all awesome like that. hahahahaha! Those polished dogdishes look really good and the color schemes are typically Bob "over the top" Zilla.

RR: Great color choice! Know ya got better things to do buuuuuut..... howz about a baby tute on "foiling" ? Maybe just the basics for those of us who only use foil on our heads to keep the government from brainwashing us.

I'm excited to see some more after Joez skookum job on his fiddy fie chebbie

Just in from FOX:

Autozone reports it can not keep Dupli Color's Orange Mist spray paint on the shelves. As soon as its restocked, it's sold. What can account for this mysterous occurance? Reporter Herendo Revolver is on the case and will have a titilating repot at 11:00. :freak: :hat: :dude:

I use flat white Krylon for my primer. Used to use the "grey" primer but switched to the white. Doesn't seem to effect the base color as much. Plus it dries fast. Just make sure you warm up the can before you start spraying.
