Try Bic ink pen caps for your hot rod headlights. They look like they may work.

I didn't see any mod podge in Your Arsenal... that stuff is excellent for gluing in your Windows because it dries Crystal Clear it's also great for making headlight and taillight lenses

[@jasonmorris4795]

[@arthurortega9701]

Thank you!

[@chrisalexsmith6158]

I’ve taken the goggly eyes that you showed earlier in your video and took a brick of staples run a lighter over them to get them hot then press the eyes on to them to give the head light the actual look of a light

[@RJDCR]

I just LIKED your FB page...

[@Etherdave]

I'm not sure how many car models you have to buy, swap, or build, to amass a collection of wheels such as you present here. I must also confess to a slight snicker upon seeing, in a matter of seconds of the start of this posting, a collection of Evergreen styrene stock that, together, probably equals the cost of a new kit. I build car models on a budget, mostly kits I purchased twenty or more years ago. I regularly look through Dollar stores and craft stores for possible parts, but pickings are decidedly slim. I find most stickpins and sewing pins too large for use as shifters (your average stickpin head translates to a ball 3 and a half inches wide) or antenna toppers, plus the steel used tends to snap rather than bend, severely limiting the application. Oddly enough, some of the best deals can be had ordering aftermarket parts: Model Car Garage, for instance, produces a set of 18 throttle linkages for about 8 bucks; that's less than 50 cents a car. Using fake fingernails as air scoops is an interesting tip; I figure I might make one, or maybe two models with such an accessory. Certainly, however, it is better in the long run to buy a big roll of wrapping wire that may be used for electrical, ignition, and even brake lines, rather than those tiny packets sold by the aftermarket companies, so it pays to know what you are getting. These extras all add to the cost of building a kit, but it is usually the tiniest of touches that really makes a scale model stand out; that said, I have yet to see a steel 'Anglia' or 'Studebaker' script in 1/25 scale at the Dollar store or Michael's. Thanks for posting.

🤔Maybe the end of a sharpie cap could be a headlight bucket.

[@markjobson3498]

Really keen to know exactly what the ferrel things you use are. I have searched and can only find ones that have a slit in the side. Great advice dude

[@morrieskustoms6430]

darlene coleman they are called Uninsulated Bootlace Ferrules.

[@damianmclarney5966]

Good info Man

[@damianmclarney5966]

DUDE! YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT BY BUMPING YOUR BUILDS

[@morrieskustoms6430]

[@gericatt]

Pop-Cycle sticks here in the States.

[@jimmyb8011]

Blu tac, probably designed for some illegal stuff too, if you know you know 🤣🤣

[@tankscrittersandurbanhomes5579]

Can you share a link to the jars of flocking you have? I've found a few but not sure it's the right stuff.

[@morrieskustoms6430]

I just buy them from ebay, search for nail art, i now buy it cheaper in bigger bags from a seller in the UK..

[@craigbird5958]

What site on e bay do you use

[@chrisalexsmith6158]

How did you do the paint work on the gold car

[@morrieskustoms6430]

I used glitter then a hell of a lot of clear then sanded it flat, took a long time, but looks killer in the sun.

[@scottchristiansen2975]

Where do you get the ruby stickers and teardrops at ?

[@morrieskustoms6430]

Scott Christiansen They are just stick on rhinestones, i got some from ebay also from $2 shops etc

[@tomcline5631]

My Mom makes jewelry and shit like that. She has tons of stuff like that. Never thought to look through that stuff! I've used some of her wire for various things but never thought about some of the self sticking "jewels" !!l
