I got my new stocker done for February's race. I've been working on it all week. My wife (who does not share my enthusiasm for PWD) says, "why are you building another one?" I said, "I'm trying to get one competitive for the race and I enjoy building cars and trying new things." I said, "what do you think of it?" She looks at it and says, "SSDD!" So that is what the name will be. (SSDD!! ) I know, not as touching as Dale's story (Space Walker) but it's all I got! You guys will have to email and let me know on the 18th how the race went. January, February, March and April are birthday months in our family. Don't want to upset the apple cart! I might be able to catch some of the live feed in the beginning and end, but the middle? Don't think so! Attachments:

Looks Awesome!! What kind of paint is that? It sure sparkles. ;D LOL! It's black Krylon base. I then sprayed on Krylon Glitter Blast. I took my finger and rubbed over the glitter. I didn't touch the front, but rubbed the back portion. The glitter got a lot thinner in the back and the black base shone through. It's kind of like a fade paint job. You then have to dust on about 6 coats of clear. After that you can put it on thicker and start to fill up the valleys left by the glitter. It takes a while and I didn't spend as much time as I did on Roswell my pro mod for this month. That one is smooth. This one (SS/DD) has some pits that didn't fill, but from here it looks OK! LOL ;D
