Hey Spider.
Would love to see your updated pics, but you have to load them into your starphoto account and link to it or put them in 1 at a time in the attach section below where you type the message. (64kb or less in size).
You appear to be trying to link direct to your C drive, that won't work. Hope this helps.
Love the glove box.

 :)Hi alex,
               I am new to doing this . I was putting the photo's in one at a time, and they had all come up with no hassles. But the last 2 days it only seems to load a few picture and thats it, so i dont know what is going on. Thanks for the comments on the glove box. It still has the holden special badge to go under it, i am just waiting for the weather to clear so i can start painting the car. It's been dry for ages and when i am ready to start the paint it starts raining and the humidity has been around the 80 to 90% mark,"YUK".  So i am going to drop in the running gear instead, while i am waiting and see what else i can attack with the airbrush or pinstripe.
Cheers Spider 8)

Good work Spider,

I bet it is good to see some colour on the machine.
I thought that will a tag of Spider there would be a few "Redbacks" in the paint scheme. ;D
Look forward to more picks and maybe a huntsman or two.

Jason.

 :)Hi to All,
                Just a few progress shots of the fe. I have been waiting for ages for the weather to be right so i could lay on some colour on the body. Is anyone having problems viewing my album, i would be interested to know.http://photo.starblvd.net/spider

Cheers everyone,
                          Spider 8)

Love the colour.

Nice one Spider,

Im not sure where u r, but the weather in Sydney is not looking good for paint at the moment.

Nice big recess in the firewall for carbs!

say... what airbrush set up are you using?  are they easy to get the hang of etc?  I only dabbled in the cheap airbrush set ups and they were crap....

it's one of those tools that seem only limited by the imagination!.

Cheers

Ed

Hi Spider

Great Photo's and work. I will keep an eye on your progress keep it up.

Looking forward to the finished on road car.

 :)Thank's everyone for your comment's. I live in Queensland Ed. when i wasnt ready to paint it was a drought, and soon as i am ready to lay on some colour it starts raining, and then when the rain stop's i have had to wait for the humidity to drop. Yesterday i painted it, and today it has been storming so thank christ i got it done, i was sick of waiting. If you want to get into airbrushing you are better off buying a good quality airbrush to start with. The cheap ones are good for models and that is it. I am self taught so i have been learning the hard way, but i am getting there. I had to give up tattooing due to the back couldnt take it anymore, and airbrushing is the next best thing, and i can do it at home. I will be down sydney way to do a coarse on airbrushing end of june, for 5 day's which will help alot. It will teach me the tricks of the trade. So If anyone want's a boarder for 5 day's  ::) i would rather give someone on this site the money for board than a motel.
Cheers everyone,
                           Spider 8)
P.S.Alex & Harko, Thankyou for the help with the frenched aerial i will post a picture of what i had done :D
