While it didn't all come today, in the past week or so, I have gotten a lot of stuff that I have wanted for a while.  Finally had time to assemble and use it.  First is the Proxxon   rotary tool.  Man, is it smooth AND quiet!  I also purchased the drill stand, small parts vise, AND X-Y table.  Their "instructions" or lack there of, leave a lot to be desired, but if they work anything like the rotary tool, I will be very happy!!!  I also recently picked up a can of duPont acrylic door jamb clear coat as mentioned in Dr. Cranky's video.  I can see why he is sooooo fond of it.  It goes on like a dream.  Tried it on some test spoons, have to wait for them to gas out.  I am still working out the issues with painting in the humid Florida weather.  Gloss paints come out dull.  I am hopeful that once cured, that I can polish them to a nice shine...

David that's called "blushing" when paints that are supposed to be glossy come out flat. Check your a/c unit to see if it has a de-humidifier function or you can get a de-humidifier for around $50 at home depot.

Went to the SCMA "Hope it doesn't snow" show and swap meet today. Got some inspiration and a couple of models- an MPC 4x4 Ford Van and a Revell 64 Chevy pickup. Mailman is supposed to deliver some Gofer decals I ordered from Modelroundup today and that should keep me busy for awhile!

Seen that happen when a weather front came through while we were painting a 76 Cougar XR7 years ago.(1:1) Humidity came in so bad it was hard to breathe outside at 9:30PM!

Bright red car and put down a perfect paint job.

Next morning when we walked into the shop the lower third of the car was flat PINK!!!

Got the plastic last week in trade with a friend. Dumped off the tires yesterday (got the time to do it), Got the Rims (I still have to get the other 4 off the '64 Chrysler 300 there on) and the Exhaust manifolds today.

and yes the rubber is old.

well i can tell you it looks great , the shapes are awsome ...
one thing i think it really needs is wider wheel wells in the back because the front ones are wider then the rear arches
not a whole lot of parts in teh kit but it all looks great , perfect base for a unique build so if you see one you can safely buy it

and the trucks you mentioned are the ones i still want to buy in the future i know what you mean

I got the same kind of deal on mine from e-bay.  I'm surprised these things are going so cheap; it looks like an awesome kit.  I think getting a clean installation on the glass is going to be challenging though.

I only wish that this kit had been molded with clear glass instead of the smoky clear.  It's still a nice kit.  I built one way back when, but it went with my other kits.
