I have good eyesight and a small DEDICATED pair of scissors for cutting decals. I make many of mine so they always need to be cut out

Well done! How did you do the tank straps?

Way cool rig. Kit wheels or aftermarket?

That sure has some pretty reds. The roof pattern is killer.

Correct me if I am wrong but that 1:1 pic looks like a Pontiac overhead cam 6 banger.

I use Tamiya Panel Line Accent as well. The wicking is great but it takes many applications if you are darkening larger openings. The solvent in it can affect glossy surfaces some times. I kind of like the sound of the acrylic paint.

Amazon did that to me once. A package that was going from Portland, OR to Salem, OR (about and hour drive) had to loop through Idaho 1st.

My parents bought a brand new 77 T-bird in Lipstick Red when I was in high school. My brother stole it and ran away from Nebraska to Texas in it. When he got caught down there, the two cops that caught him, told him that if he gave them the car, they would let him go. My brother declined their offer. This was after he tried to steal my step mom's 71 Jaguar XKE twice two nights before.

I had totally forgotten my 2nd car was a 71 Galaxie 500 4 door in Baby Blue. It had a 400M. A friend and I bought it for $350 with a bad starter. We learned that you cannot push start an engine with an automatic no matter how fast another car pushes it down the road. Once we got a new starter in it, we raced our buddy's 69 Mustang with a 351 windsor. That Galaxie would spank that Mustang from a dig, from a roll and any speed on the freeway.

Love that black wrinkle paint. What did you paint the fan clutch with?

Very nice GMC. How did you make the canvas top? (Materials, coatings and such) I looks stunning.

Thanks for sharing. Did you notice any differences in the side marker lights in your research?

Here is one I did in 2007. I thought it turned out pretty nice for my skillset at the time

I love both of those builds.

Solder works great for headers. I bends easily, stays where you put it and is even the right color. It was my only option for my 427 SOHC motor in my 67 Mustang drag racer. Are you going to mini tub it too?

Good job. I spliced an AMT 67 Mustang engine bay into my AMT 68 Shelby.

Yes, Fireball stuff is excellent. Especially carbs, wheels and door handles.

My wife had a bad experience with it due to a sister on the opposite side of the political spectrum. After hearing all about it. I refrained from every joining Faceplant. I have never been a fan of unfiltered propaganda. I have better things to do with my time.

Thank you Bill. It was actually my practice build for the sleeper cab triple drive. The extra chassis parts in the 75th Anniversary kit made it possible.

You are going to have fun with this. I know I did with mine.

Lovely batch of Mopars. Are you going to build the Revell car hauler to deliver them to your dealership?

I used to be into video games while my sons were growing up. The last major one I invested a lot of time into was Cities Skyline. I had MONTHS of work in it. Then I ran into the "Cannot build any more of this type" error essentially bringing my road building to a screeching halt. I was so bummed. Ever since I have dropped playing video games. With my 1:1 and my models, I have something TANGIBLE to enjoy for may years to come.

Wow! I love both of your builds.

I like your project. Following. I went with adding a sleeper to my hauler. I modified the tire rack and flattened the deck.

If you still would consider your 1st color choice, may I suggest using a similar color red in the same paint line then final coat it in the desired color last.
