KD, It's still in progress. The boys at the shop had to take a little time off. She's been painted, still waiting on a sponsor. I'm hoping to have a deal done by this week (waiting for stickers to come in the mail, I reordered a larger size). Here she sits for now...RM

Spray can Wes. It's a little darker in person, must be the lighting :p:p Duplicolor T0294 TOREADOR RED CC, requires a clear on top. It's a very fine metallic with a candy red look to it...Get ya some!!!...RM
P.S. Testor's One Coat Lacquer on top, spray can

This bad boy has wore me out!!! Thanks to Crane Cams for coming on board to finish this one up. Decided to stay with the "doggie dishes" as ND calls em, added a little chrome foil to front grill, and some exhaust tubes out the side fenders...RM

Here's a little project I finished up, for displaying your favorites at the office or home. I used an acrylic case, painted a track, added a tree, background pic, and layed down some rubber...RM

Randy,

That is one heck of an idea! Dragstrip in a display case.....Vrooooooooooooooom, Vrooooooooooooooom, Vrooooooooooooom, Screeeeeeatch.

If you put a tube or straw leading into this case I could make it look like a real smokey burnout. :tongue:

Beautiful work Randy. How did you get the rubber marks to look so good? The rest of the display is neat and clean vintage Hilltop. Very impressed with the burnout detail.

T-Jet, I used some thinned latex paint. I took an old chassis with some foam tires, dipped the tires, and rolled it across. keep rolling it across. Let it dry and repeat. You can use a small brush to smooth it out also. Flat black model enamel will work too, just thin it down...RM

Well, here's the "ugly"!!! The boys picked this ol Harley up off the auction block. Finally figured out how to tear it down, "partially" This thing was some serious engineering for the TYCO folks...

http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/010-7.jpg

Now for the "good' The boys took notes, so the rebuild is going ok...

http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/004-14.jpg

Here's the "bad"

http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/003-14.jpg

I used a glob of JB Weld, stuck on the rear, turned it upside down to let it kinda fall as it was setting up, to build up the rear cowl. Did the same to extend the front fender. The wheelie bar section was scratch built from credit cards and styrene tubing. I stayed with the original driver, I liked the leathers and HD logo on his back...RM
