Topics I've Started

1962 Grand Prix WIP

09 February 2013 - 06:23 AM

Well I am continuing building my Shawn Carpenter resin 1962 Grand Prix conversion on the AMT Catalina kit.  I started this kit about two years ago and got frustrated with my paint job, walked away from it  and decided about a month ago to go back to the kit.  I have worked on the paint and now it looks pretty good. I am finished with the BMF.  I have painted it with MCW's original 62 Pontiac Dark Maroon.  I should have it wrapped up this next week. 


1965 Pontiac 2+2 Resin convertible question

06 February 2013 - 07:35 AM

I have a correct wheelbase 1965 Pontiac 2+2 convertible body and I was wondering if the 1965 AMT Grand Prix kit has the correct shorter wheelbase as compared to the 1965 2+2 AMT kit.  I know the AMT 2+2 is a Bonneville  Thanks


1956 Chrysler 300 Moebius

This 300 is a great kit  and for a change I built it with the standard covers  using corvette checkered flag decals for the center of the caps.  The picture doesn't really show the caps very well.  I need to use something besides my phone to take pictures!  The kit goes together very well.  Thanks


1962 Grand Prix resin conversion

I painted this Shawn Carpenter resin 62 Grand Prix a few years ago but never finished it.  I am working on it again and spending some time getting the paint sanded and polished out.  I hope to finish it in the next few weeks. 


Removing laquer from Resin question

21 January 2013 - 07:47 AM

I have a Shawn Carpenter 1962 Grand Prix I painted a few years ago with laquer and never finished it.  I am going to start on it again and I want to remove the paint and try another color.  What should I use to remove the laquer?  I have read easy off oven cleaner will remove the paint and not hurt the resin.  I have also read Pine-Sol works.  Thanks
