jjsipes Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Painting has started. Need to go over the Gold again once I can get to the store. Decided to go with Bobby Allison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Awesome paint, Jason. The paint separation line is perfect. Thats one thing I wish I could improve on. What kind of tape do you use, not that it will help me any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsipes Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Just got the Gold resprayed last week and decided to try and clear it today. Not too bad but the door lines ran back a little. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsipes Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Well, I now need to source another hood for my project. I love my dog but, she got a hold of my hood thinking it would taste good. Guess somebody knocked it down from the top of the bookshelf it was on until I got around to building it this winter.

jjsipes Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Did some digging, think I may have found another hood in my stash. I had a Revell Daytona Charger that I had swapped the front ends with a Revell 68 Charger to use an AMT 69 Charger 500 grille in to make a better detailed 69 Chargee 500. Need to finish that one soon. Anyway I have another hood to prep and paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I can see what you're saying, Jason. There's no way you could stay mad at that wonderful puppy dog for more than just a few seconds. What an awesome dog you've got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I walked into the pet store back in March and we seen that face and couldn't leave here there. She came home that day with us. Maddie, is her name. She goes to work with me everyday. She's my very close sidekick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
