Title: prep and paint
Post by: KEITH McCRARY on March 29, 2018, 03:44:36 PM: This video shows a car being primed and painted. It contains so many nuggets of wisdom and tips that can be applied to models. If you have watched any Windy videos you may have heard some of these tips before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjOOTaHa8GI

1968, and it’s a real SS big block car
My dad bought it new in Dec of 67 and I bought it from him after I graduated in 76.
I still have the protector-plate and Ampex Credit Union paper work.

My Car that Got Away is a '59 El Camino, that I sold when I was moving out of state, to get it out of my dad's back lot. I didn't realize until years later that he would have preferred that I'd kept it. It was Forest Green. I've owned three classic Chevy trucks in my life, and all of them have been Forest Green.

Keep in mind that if you paint a stunter like you'd paint a car, it's going to be way heavy. There's a lot of good stuff that you can carry over from car painting, but there's still an art and a balance to getting a lightweight, good-looking finish.

I just do whatever Mark Scarborough says, unless Billy Byles says different.

Sounds cool, I've got a '60. A couple years ago John Kosmoski saw it and approached me at a car show in Minneapolis and said he wanted to buy it. I declined, just told him thanks but it wasn't for sale. 600HP 454, 400 Turbo, Ford nine inch...

That is an absolute fact.
Especially with a 250 horse shot of nitrous
M/H makes a terrific 9 inch street slick that hooks like a bandit
