Yeah I thought that would happen. I really like the way our fellow member SpeedShift did his interior on his 58 chevy.

These were quite big. Awesome!

Stunning paint. Looks like the box top.

Love these Birds! These kits need a bit more detail and obviously you added them. Great color.

Nice job! Love the color. That side trim is a booger but you did a great job with it.

Parts found. Please delete.

Tried the foam thing once. It made the seat size and depth too fat.

Super nice!!!

yeah i owned 4 of them lol, its one of those bikes you really need to buy only one of, its pretty solid.

Yeah I've seen the foam stuff but to me it leaves a little to be desired. That's why I am looking to the half round styrene.

I held a 3D printed Duett (210) body in my hand last year (someone else bought it before me) and it really wasn't ready for painting right away, but the shape of the body is quite forgiving for sanding actually. The orange one you posted was originally ordered by Televerket, the state telephone company, they had the little squeezy extra side window on the right side. I realize now that I probably missed looking at whether the characteristic threshold box was correct as in the picture but it can be fixed yourself. PV444: Introduced in 1947, the PV444 was one of Volvo's first volume models. It had a simple, robust design and quickly became popular. Self-supporting body. PV544: An updated version of the PV444 launched in 1958. It had a more modern design, including an arched windshield, and was offered with stronger engines. Self-supporting body. Volvo Duett (PV445 & P210): PV445: Based on the PV444 chassis and launched in 1953, it was available as a station wagon, a van and in smaller numbers as a chassis for special bodies. Separate frame, the pickups have very short doors = larger bed. In fact, I think the cabs are made by other smaller workshops. The first picture is probably a Swedish doodle bug. P210: A later version of the Duett, introduced in 1960. It got the same updated windshield and dashboard as the PV544. Separate frame.

That paint job is immaculate! Beautiful color as well.

Two weeks ago I had the staples removed from the incision of my shoulder replacement. The quite attractive P.A. told me I could remove the arm sling on July 2nd - today is July 2nd. Got out of bed this morning, removed sling to take a shower and have not put it back on. The shoulder is still pretty immobile, but there is so much freedom is just letting the arm hang free. I can use it a bit, but there is going to be much more therapy to get back to 90% or better.

Thanks for all the good advice. I'd probably stick to cheap cheap cheap purchases if I do end up being able to order from eBay. Probably wouldn't bid on anything, rather just stick to items that are plainly being sold to whoever comes first. Right now I'm just trying to convince my dad to order a $14 1960 Plymouth sales brochure from a 99% rated seller that is only one province over so we'll see how that goes. No credit card for myself and even if I did have one it is a certain gaurentee my parents wouldn't let me use it for eBay until I'm moved out and I can do whatever.

Mark could this be the decal your looking for.

Would have been cheaper to make a "No parking any time"

if you search on YouTube videos, there's a bunch of modelers who use cosplay 2mm foam sheeting and scribe the tuck 'n' rolls in. it looks 'okay' @ 40 mph, but close ups leave a bit to be desired. at the least, i would want to use something as a hardener and then paint it. if i used it. which i probably never will. but it doesn't mean there aren't those who do. "eye of the beholder" and all that, old chap.

bump

I would drive it...

I heard an interview with an AI "expert" (forget his name) who said the "learning" that AI does is it basically gathers all available info about a subject and then averages it. Doesn't sound like something we should rely on for anything important. Just a fancy algorithm bot.

Nearly done those won't be the wheels it's getting ordered ones

Looks like from 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. and again from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. unless I'm reading it wrong.

Yes, that would be Juha Airio, who also build the Thunderbird Italien in this photo. Both are outstanding!

But when can you park?

Sorry to say, I don't think Fred Cady is making decals anymore. The ones I used were custom made:
