    Hey Peter, My “big gun” airbrush is the Grex Tritium with the fan nozzle. It can blast some paint for an airbrush! I should be good to go. I opted out for the spray can of primer because I’ve had it on hand a few years and didn’t feel like swapping over airbrush’s yet. My regular work airbrush is the Iwata HP-CS. And still trying to figure out how to make the model fit in the paint booth!

    Peter, looking really great so far.

    Looks good Scott. Everyone loves the Tomcat! Me? It’s a love/hate relationship.

    Beautiful! But, um…..What took you so long??

    Just an update. 8 am surgery in the morning. She opted for the double mastectomy just to get out all the breast tissue and to have a more balanced reconstruction when all is done. She pushed this through today using her hospital clout and contacts. Remind me to never piss her off. She has connections!

    I think I’m going to nominate you “pot stirrer of the year” Or maybe “drug dealer of the year” making sure everyone gets another fix when they least expect it. Reminds me of the Huey Lewis song “I need a new drug”.

    Antennas on the bottom are fragile as can be. One was broken on the sprue. I bent some up out of 22 ga wire.

    That’s a lot of primer! I opted out of airbrushing and went for the Tamiya rattle can.

    Today my wife made it back to work after her skiing injury. Thought I’d take advantage of the alone time before she’s off again for the cancer surgery. I completed the taping the other day and today I sprayed the RLM02 on the window frames and then shot primer on the bottom. I’ve got 2 or 3 rough spots to correct and then I’ll move on to priming the rest. I have a few details like antenna I need to add, but I’ve got to be very careful how I place the model after that. Trying to wait until the absolute last minute for these details.

    Weathering pencils. Hmmm….I should add those to my arsenal of build tools.

    Hey Peter, just a slightly used Tomcat box used to ship the Cutlass. I’m thinking the Cutlass may push back the Me 262 and Stuka I was going to do next. It’s starting to look like it’s going to be a slow build year with the wife’s health issues going on, so I might as well make it quality time for a unique build.

    Yea, we high rollers baby!!

    Had another slide in under the radar today! I’ve learned to shut off all the ring doorbell notifications when I’m expecting a package. LOL! But what’s this? An F-14 Tom? Is this a short Tomcat? Well, from the front it resembles a Tomcat! Oh man…all that resin goodness! Cannot wait to start this ugly ass gutless Cutlass beauty! A big thanks to Carl for thinking of me when he decided to liquidate it from his collection.

    Welcome! A few of us are into Sci Fi as well. Check out the old “wet” group build for my “Science Fusion” build with Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s Seaview and the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues. You’ll fit right in!

    No pics, but got home from taking the wife for another biopsy and a Revell 1/32 Messerschmitt Me-262B-1/U1 I ordered was sitting there up on the porch. All I could think was “Oh man, I’m busted. Caught red handed.” As we pull in the driveway she tells me she’s going to catch a nap in the car. Go on in without her. Yes!

    Wait!? Isn’t that a Bullitt edition? And you want to ditch the Bullitt wheels? 😱 Maybe staggering Bullitt wheels? Nevermind. Just looked at American Muscle. Doesn’t seem that they set up 2005-2009 with staggered fit wheels. My ‘95 had staggered 17” FR500 wheels. I loved the look of those.
  17. ScottsGT
    On my old ‘95 GT I used Eibach springs and on my ‘15 I’m running Steeda progressives. I’m very happy with both. Just did the 1” drop and no more.
  18. ScottsGT
    Both. 🤪 Carl, you just have “Squirrel!!” issues. I honestly thought you would have been done by now.
  19. ScottsGT
    Benchmark Abrasives has felt polishing flap wheels you can put on that grinder. Those and a little polishing compound and you’ll be the hit of the corral!
  20. ScottsGT
    Impressive builds there. Now get busy on that Fisher Sea Fury!

    I like light beers. Since the Bud Light debacle, I discovered Yuengling Light and Flight. It’s all I buy now. use to love a stout beer in my younger days, I guess old age does funny things.

    The purest are a dying breed. Had a discussion yesterday with my son about this. They won’t touch a numbers matching car to restomod because A. Too rare and valuable these days. And B, just too much to buy one to sink another $150k-$200k into. They did get a line on someone that has collections of basket cases they can buy. All they want is the body with the VIN and a title. They resell or trade back the OEM frames, drivetrain, and any other parts they pull off and replace with custom aftermarket. And this helps out the guys restoring vette’s back to original. But they are focusing on ‘67 and ‘63 cars right now. They have a split window at another body shop and a ‘67 vert in a different shop.
  23. ScottsGT
    Yes…as my son put it, “The reserve price just went higher.”

    Please make sure she stays on top of her mammograms. Our situation is a perfect example of how medical professionals make the worst patients. She got a call yesterday morning from the imaging center wanting to cancel her appointment for the scan Monday morning because they didn’t have insurance approval yet, and they wanted to slot someone else to keep the $$$ rolling in. Wife went ham on them and told them that under no circumstances are they to reschedule this. We’ll pay out of pocket if we have to. Come to find out, the imaging center sent the results to her surgeon and not the doc (our GP) that requested the mammogram in the first place. The same doc has to write the order for the advance scan. It was good to hear her chew someone else’s butt for once. 🤣

    A few updated pics on the ‘67 Corvette my sons building. It’s a the painters right now, and she is awesome! outside this is the BOTTOM of the hood. Between the painters Instagram and the suppliers he’s buying parts from posting it on their website and social media, and his Instagram as well, this build is getting a lot of attention. Their talk of it being on display at the next SEMA in Vegas at the Mecum Auction booth.
