   Clear it. Make it nice and shiny. A lot people like the suede look but shiny is the way to go.

   Wanted American LaFrance Aero Chief Pics

   I am looking for reference pictures of the supercharged engine and chassis and anything else I can get my hands on. I have the AMT Aero Chief kit and am in need of reference pics. Please help if you got any. Thanks.

   Love the Ford truck. I assume that's the Foose 56. I've been thinking about Blue on mine as well. They all look great but that Blue Ford truck is killer.

   Bill, looks like you had better weather that day than when I was there. My wife and I were there on Friday. Have been going for years. Always a great show. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

   Moebius 1971 Ford Ranger

   Looking for something a little different, decided to go 2 tone Red on this. Started with Duplicolor Gray Primer, then Dulpicolor Burgundy Berry Metallic, then Tamiya Mica Red based with Tamiya Champagne Gold. I then spray Tamiya Clear over all.

   Moebius 71 Ford Ranger Bed Assembly

   For those that have built this truck, how did you handle gluing and painted of the pickup bed? I have been working on filling the injection markers on the inside of the bedsides and looking at how best to assembly the bed to be sure it is paintable. Have been leaning toward a 2 tone paint job. Any tips or suggestions?

   57 Mercury could lead itself to street and NASCAR. That would be cool.

    Chassis just about completed, needs to finish exhaust tips.
    
    Wheels and tires. Wheels are kit supplied factory wheel covers and tires are from AMT 70 1/2 Z28 with hand painted redlines.

    Wasn't sure where I had gotten the decal from but went looking and this is where it came from. They have a new listing for the same decal I had gotten.

    They also have the yellow listed.
