Let's see those junkyard junkies, Cody.  They sound like cool models as well.  Good job.

 I like the junk yard look :ylsuper:,,,,,,,,,,,,,, have you thought of advertising here on the site and building a revell model for members cars with all the details like custom paint and  rims and what ever makes a members car unique ?  Might work and keep you busy :money:

I will end up doing that. I will also advertise when I show my Duster at shows. Right now I'm full, I'm building 4 models for people currently. :2thumbs:

On some of the earlier junker builds I use a hobby knife and cut chunks out and then used rust coloured primer for the rust colour. But on Barrelcuda (latest junker), I used a "pin vise" and drilled out holes. Then I used a sharp hobby knife and cut.

They look great.  The Charger needs some rust added to the tops of the fenders.  I don't think I've ever seen one without, unless maybe it's a CA car.

I read the title and just finished watching "MANSWERS" on SPike TV.  They say that you can get $500 to $600 for each sperm donation every 2 to 3 days! 

That got me thinking..........
