I'd buy one of those bodies from you! You wanna do me one?!?!

You've inspired me to get out all my old model ****. Haven't had it out in a year or two! I've got a Nova that needs to be finished and a LS6 Chevelle that's got an old Jeg's pro stock motor waitin' for it!

Anyone know a good brand paint sprayer for these? Are the Testor ones worth a ****? Tired of tryin' to paint the bodies with just a spray paint can.

If you mean airbrushes, the testor's ones suck something awful, don't waste your money.

McNord very impressive work! The body looks flawless!

I go to Micheals to get my model ****. They've got paint, files, little pliers, and a testors airbrush kit I'm glad I didn't buy! Gonna go look at Lowes today and see if they have one.

Anyone know where I could find those little rubber hoses, and the braided line ****? Gonna head out in about 2 hours.

Thanks guys! As far as a good airbrush goes, I have a Badger & couldn't be happeir with it. I had one of the disposable testors ones & it is junk.

Real car for comparison





Decided to start working on the wheels

So are you guys gonna work on making that a body kit for 6LE? I'd almost go with another 4th-gen over a C6Z if I could get something like that for one...

So I checked the website. I see the front bumper and rear bumper, I guess the fender and quarter flares are done at a body shop? Love the 6LE stuff though! Makes me wish I still had my 4th gen...
