Thank you Peter.

Thanks, another good tip.

Lego, I might try that sometime. I discarded my old bleach and replaced with new. Seems fine now. Thanks for the reply. ?

stitchdup...Thanks, I will try that.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks Sonny. I appreciate the scrutiny. It was a 1/4" (6.5mm) extension. 6 scale inches or so.

Thank you

Home made dehydrator type oven. 115F

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.

I agree with you. Many dealer installed options too.

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.

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.

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.

Sorry, Headline shout have read: 1934 Ford With Subtle Yet Major Mod. Can You Spot It?

Hello Everyone. This is maybe my second post, although I'm a member for several years. I did few mods to this Ford. 2 are obvious, but one is major, but subtle. I'm curious to see if you all can pick up what the major one is. Please post comments. Thanks

Ok, scrap piece in 70% ethyl alcohol did nothing. But after about 40 hrs in brake fluid, the original piece softened up. With extensive scraping with exacto knives and some sanding and extreme cussing I got it to the point I could primer & paint. It is not perfect, but is acceptable due to it being partially covered by the custom sidemounts and stock headlights in critical areas. Won't win any shows, but hell, I haven't won a show since I was a teen and I'm 77 now. Thanks for all the advice guys.

Just put a scrap piece in 70% ethyl Alcohol (cuz that's what I have on hand). Will let you all know in about 24hrs.

YH -70...Isopropal 99% unavailable here, but Ethyl Alcohol 99% is available. Not sure about ethyl Alcohol. Hondamatic: Very informative. Thanks

Thanks for the swift reply. Part of my problem is the primer, which is a made for plastic, acrylic lacquer primer made here in Thailand, where I live. This primer also doesn't respond to brake fluid. The part I'm trying to strip is the hood side panel from a 34 Ford. Simulated hood louvres and just no surface area to sand. I wonder if oven cleaner would do it?

I need to strip acrylic epoxy paint from a plastic part.. Brake fluid doesn't work after 24 hrs. Any real life experience? Any suggestions? Thank you.

I've been looking for that. However, I'm 8000 miles from the closest WalMart.

Tom, Your skill level must be way higher than mine, but then again that includes most 9 year olds. Go for it. By the way I'm the guy who you were digging for the 57 Ford tail light bezels. Got your message. There's a PM for you waiting. Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies guys.
