Alright guys, have had this stuff done for a couple of nights now. But here we go! Did most of my spraying in one afternoon. Made some front springs because the kid ones are crap. Finally painted and mounted the coil. Better view of the wires. A little interior assembly and paint. The total sum of my one afternoon of painting. Stay tuned guys!

Hey guys, after shopping around through various model accessory suppliers I decided to do a little research and see what I could turn up for buying a variety of wire to suit my needs instead of spending $3.00 to $5.00 for 3 feet of each color. This is what I found! Ignition Wire (30awg Wrapping Wire) www.ebay.com/itm/USA-Shipping-10-x-10-ft-30-AWG-Wrapping-Wire-/380925599959Hope this helps! As I find and figure out more, I'll post them here. Thanks for looking!

Hey everyone, just a quick build for my Mom while she's in town. I have until just after the 4th of July to get if finished and in her hands before she heads back to the Midwest. A little back story, I was browsing eBay as I often do and spotted a mint and sealed AMT Corvette Evolution 5 pack for an unreasonably low price. I'm not too much of a Corvette fan, but for the price I couldn't say no. While I was visiting, my mother and I got into a discussion about the Corvette kits and she tells me her older sister had a '53 when she was younger. I asked her if she would want a little version for her shelf at home and she lit up. So... Here we go! The aforementioned kits. I decided to stray outside of the factory paint realm and go with a metallic pink exterior with a black tri-tone interior. Paint color The first day was basically spend clipping, cutting, trimming, and sanding a large portion of the parts including the body. This kit has an extreme amount of injection mold marks on visible panels. And the seams are the body were terrible. This is where day #1 ended. Day #2 was spent getting all of the engine components together, primed, painted and assembled. Started by drilling all of the spark plug holes on the head. Then I took the distributor cap, cut off all of the terminals, drilled out the center and wired it up as close 1:1 I could get it. And then the paint began! And then assembly and detail! I used this stock photo as reference for ignition wiring. And here it is. All I have for now, thanks for looking!

Hello everyone,
I was thinking of hosting a contest on our board. These contests may or may not have prizes at the end, but I figured it could be a fun way to draw a little traffic to our community. If you have a preference, you can choose above in the poll. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. I'll close this poll on Friday, June 6th, 2014 and a contest will be set for July 1st, 2014.

In addition to the toothpicks, I guess a thick pc of cardboard, or green floral foam. Can be used where the pointed end of the picks can be stabbed into, or get a chunk of that green floral foam for cheap and that can be used to stab the toothpicks into to hold the pcs while painting Yeah, I stab them into a piece of styrofoam.
