  1. Lego, I might try that sometime. I discarded my old bleach and replaced with new. Seems fine now. Thanks for the reply. ?
  2. stitchdup.....Mark...Yes in the bleach for maybe 3 days....bleach was in the sun inside a dark plastic bottle for maybe a few months during the monsoon here in Thailand. I think both of you guys nailed it. Thanks so much.
  3. Mark, I tried soaking the parts in 99% isopropyl alcohol, but that did not cut through the residue. Then I tried lighter fluid. With lots of rubbing that seemed to take it off. But can't rub hard enough on the fragile parts. Thanks for your reply.
  4. Just tried stripping chrome on a Monogram Duesenberg. I used bleach as I have dozens of times before. But this is my first Monogram gluebomb. This time it left a white colored residue that could be scraped off with my fingernail. Didn't leave the residue everywhere. Only on certain areas of different parts.. Does anybody have a clue? Thanks.
  5. Thanks Sonny. I appreciate the scrutiny. It was a 1/4" (6.5mm) extension. 6 scale inches or so.
  6. Thanks for the compliment. The wheels are stock wheels from this kit. However they were not chrome. I 'chromed' them with ATM brand spray Chrome Enamel, as it says on the can. This is mfgd in Thailand where I live. It states on the can that it is not real chrome, just looks like chrome. After I paint with it, I put in my oven for about 3 days @ 115Fto help cure and reduce humidity, then I put on a shelf for about 3 weeks before handling.
  7. First off, thanks for your reply. I think the 34 Ford PU does not share the front fenders & hood with 34 passenger car and sedan delivery. It has more of the 1932 Ford style. I have seen other pics of 34's with sidemounts and they look like the pic I submitted of the sedan delivery. But you are correct about modifications and changes. They were abundant.
  8. Espo,Well, the side mounts were the reason for extending the body & frame. Here's a pic of a sedan delivery with factory side mounts. I thought they distracted from the original lines of the vehicle. Note how the wheel sits so high. So I extended the cowl 6 scale inches to better accommodate the spare. Thanks for the compliment.
  9. Alan & David, Wow! you guys are sharp. Yes, I overlooked that swage line. Didn't catch it till model was almost complete. Thanks for the compliments.
