That brings back a lot of fond memories. Davey was special to us Alabamians. You did a great job on that build. Great stuff. _________________ life is hard, it's harder when you're stupid. John Wayne |

Hi. I want to ask you about the 28's neon decals matte finish. You don't do a final clearcoat, so any problems with those over the years? A matte finish decal is somehow weaker than a gloss one. Easier to chip/scratch?
Am decaling my own car with these Powerslide's and deciding if to clearcoat or not. |

Can’t really speak on it, as when my kits are done they go in an AMT display case and on a shelf that is out of direct sunlight. They seem to be holding up just fine. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...

Well, I have been viewing your other Davey builds, so they may get a bump when I build mine👍.
Your Red Baron build has a measly 12600 views,(!) perhaps a bump will hit it to 13000. Post some new photos of it? It is a smart looking Olds. |
