No, I wish I've been working a lot of overtime lately and just haven't had much spare time with going to tn last week and our comp this week. It will be running at the next event though.

When you bought your chassis and links from Bruce, dose it come with the front links and the 8* plates for the steering knuckles?

I've got 1 more layer of liquid mask to put on and let dry. I did a test strip and it seemed to work out ok the only part that is going to get the gold leaf will be a heavy pin stripe down the door line to break up the rootbeer and pearl white. So I just hope the liquid mask and gold leaf glue don't have a reaction. I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Started the gold leaf part of the paint job.
Used some painters tape to guide me while cutting the liquid mask.
Then put down the adhesive and gold leaf this stuff is SUPER delicate (almost as much as the dallas cowboys but not quite)

Well I ran into a problem yesterday with the painting laid down 4 coats of the spaz stix candy rootbeer and got ready to back it with duratrax silver metal flake.( they are supposed to be both lacquer base) First off this stuff does not want to spray thru my iwata airbrush . I guess my needle/nozzle is to small. So I decided to brush some on to my test piece. Well it ate right thru the spaz stix luckily I didn't try it on the body. So I've got to rethink some stuff I tested some faskolor on the test piece and it seemed fine. If anybody has experience with using faskolor and spaz stix let me know. I'm really wanting to back this rootbeer with a silver metal flake to give it that bowling ball look.lol

Well problem solved I used some krylon glitter blast as the metal flake it turned out really well.

Nice job Mike!! You're doing a killer job!

[EverettY]

Just for future reference my brother used to do a lot of painting and he used Faskolor and Spaz Stix all the time and it worked great....

Yeah it seems to be working great for me as well. I usually just use faskolor but they didn't offer a candy rootbeer so I went out on a limb this time.
