;)Well I have a little update on the color I am going with, their has been an out cry for a green cobra so here is the color I am going with . I picked up some BOYD Lime pearl and that will go over a gold base....Thanks to mike for the pic.  And I got the side vents sanded off so now it will be a cobra and not a GT  Let me know what you think of the color. |

Well I came up with a name for the torino "Miss misery" and as you can see I finally got a base coat of HOK gold on her with still a fight at the end, she dropped right off her holder while I was shooting her but all that happen was a little dig in the door, but that will fix easy so as you can see things are moving along for this month.  |

>:(Is their such a thing as a model car exorcist ? I think the torino needs one.
Yesterday I decanted some of the paint so tonight I could shoot another coat on it, so take a wild guess what happened .... when I opened the bottle it foamed all over, Ok we clean this mess up we get the gun loaded, start shooting and the BOTTLE FALLS OFF !!!! So we clean this mess up, and try to finish the coat then the gun starts sputtering and so I just fought though and got this coat done.
I know this sucker is evel and I am going to beat the evel out of it if it don't knock it off ...I SWEAR I WILL DO IT !!!!!!
