ENT-Z

So those lateral locks are for the rear sways. Do you have whiteline bars? My rear whiteline bar was pushed all the way to the side and bumped up against the differential. Maybe those things would help...

GaleForce

Yes I have Whitelines. They come with clip on lateral locks and mine stayed where they were supposed to while using them. These optional lateral locks are cheap insurance to make sure the bar doesn't move more than 3-4mm.

That look is only good for RatRods and old school restoration projects.

Not serious about the gold. I am beginning to work on the strut bar but it will probably be an "in between jobs" sort of project. I have a first test drive coming up, a trip to the exhaust shop coming up, and I need to get the body kit to the painter. I might graft part of the OEM side skirts to the Amuse skirts so I can get a "like factory" fit and finish. I haven't decided on that yet.

I'm trying to think of a logo or...sponsor logo that I can incorporate with the strut bar. I have a cool idea, I just need a good logo to make the idea a reality.

It comes from years of doing custom work on customer vehicles where I couldn't fail, yet I'm still hesitant about doing this stuff to my own vehicle.

The hardest part is making the first cut, once you've done that you have no choice but to make it right, or spend money on a new part.

+1, but i dont hate this thread one bit.

i want to learn how to airbrush before i die. that's about the only new thing i want to try in life.

GaleForce

I have troubles getting ultra fine lines from my airbrush... I need more practice. You can pickup an airbrush kit fairly cheaply, then start painting lines, fades, etc... You can do it

thanks, mr.gale!

i just need time to do it...

im thinking about getting a Tamiya airbrush kit if they still sell it. at a toy trade show long time ago, wife and i watched an artist paint a 1:24 scale car model and she was using it like a pen on a 8x11 piece of paper as demo. no over spray wat so ever, and it was like instantly dry. wow!

she mentioned that the paint particles are super adjustable to match the scale of the car. she was drawing clean lines too. and the compressor she was using wasn't too loud.

i want to be able to paint my toy cars first, then go bigger to paint aero bits and interior pieces (like that a-pillar you did) for real cars.
