I would leave it as is- the new T-bird parts may not fit due to the body being a bit wider.
-
The results more than make up for any building tribulations! This is a great model!
-
Great looking start, maybe set the spare tire lower and closer. Will follow this one!

Micro Pin Vice Bits.
Paul Payne replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Micromark has fine drill bit sets and also packages of a single size bit handy for replacing easily broken small ones. -
That beast of Turin- I keep waiting for those wire wheels to collapse! There have been some Miller racing cars in 1/25th scale, but all multimedia (resin and white metal) and a little fiddly to get together. It would be great even to have supercharged engines available! In the early sixties I got a book called “The Mad Motorists”, about the 1907 Peking to Paris race. Fascinating cars- Itala, Spyker, Contal tri-car, DeDion- back when almost everything was an experiment! I think this was the first multi continent race- can’t call it a road race because there were no roads!

MCM #208 is HERE!
Paul Payne replied to larrygre's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Still waiting for mine- got a subscription renewal saying I should receive issue #209 before it runs out- anyone else still waiting? -
I just received some goodies from an old friend who is moving from the east coast to the west coast. Several parcels of basswood strips, a balsa airplane, and something called Space Clusters which assembles into 3d geometric shapes using neon colored plastic rods. Question- does anyone know if these rods are styrene? These could be useful in some interesting new ways........

The Zen of Model Building
Paul Payne replied to afx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
To me, model building is an artistic and creative outlet. Lately I am getting into kitbashing and scratch building to get something unique and expressing my own vision. -
I also have an original AMT chopped top if you are interested.

Thatz4u, I have a 36 Ford dropped axle as well as several of the Pontiac engines with all the speed goodies. One has a set of scratch built headers you might have some fun with. PM me with your address and let’s see what we can swap for!

I seem to remember a Frontenac option but don’t remember the kit- perhaps Tim Boyd could help? -
Most Involved Part of Building?
Paul Payne replied to JollySipper's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
All of the above, plus a presentable paint job! -
Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Roadster Italeri 1/12
Paul Payne replied to maysula's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
I have always admired this engine design with the cam and supercharger drive at the center of the engine- greatly reduces cam shaft torquing. Your model looks totally realistic- beautiful job! -
gold leaf decal lettering
Paul Payne replied to Paul Payne's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks, Mark, I will check them out. -
I am building a boat and would like to add the name on the stern in gold leaf letters. Does anyone make a lettering sheet where you could cut out and apply individual letters?
