Thanks, guys. I am currently using Duplicolor spray cans to get GM original colors. Looking forward to moving to an airbrush sometime this year.

No expert but will be happy to help when you take the leap. Sure others will too. Learned by trial and error. Didn’t find an instructional videos till a couple of years later. Had to unlearn some bad habits. Most useful part was how to clean the guns properly.

Great looking dragsters! Love the fades. The airbrush will give you so much more control. You will like it. Doesn't have to be an expensive unit either. I'm still using an older Paasche Type V. Thanks for posting.

Out of the paint booth and waiting on some decal decisions before it gets a final coat of clear followed by the chrome work. Quick chassis mock up. For the life of me, the camera will not capture the true color of this paint. It is Duplicolor Bright Aqua Metallic - GM0440 and as the name implies is not what is being captured by the lens. It is much more teal in person. Hairy Canary 3D printing looks amazing. Next one will get a lot more wet sanding prep.

Jeff, they very light and strong. The type of plastic doesn't like a glue that has a solvent base(rubber cement)but you can use ca and silicone with no issue. By just placing them on with stretching the tire, a .420 tire 250 id over the 340 rim will give a 485 tire size and haven't moved at over 38mph. Give them a try Jeff, bolt on horse power.
