The stock headlight bar is evidence of the disregard for standard practices for early Ford hot rods. I found three dropped bars in my stash but they were all 1:25 and would not reach the holes. My only move here was make one. I wish I had some smaller lights but this will do. I found a few things in the stash that might find a home. Notice the roof anchors molded on the body. I'm glad I left them. Yes it's a model A down top, so what. How 'bout the dash? Thanks for showing up once again ! 😀

Yup, nope. 😂 Thanks, David. How about Ford engine blue? Well it's down to an Ollie's give-away now. Good fodder for bashers. Thanks, Zack. Dave can't be cool with the gray. Gotta decide on an actual color.

Thanks, Jon. I do too. But I'm thinking a light yellow or mint green...maybe maroon. I won't know until 5 minutes before I paint. 🥴

Here's where I'm at with this one. As you know, this kit provides the chassis and fenders in one piece. This configuration presents a painting situation. I sprayed the bottom semi-gloss black...this car will be hoodless to show off the F.I. SBC. The frame that shows needs to be glossy. It's a masking nightmare if I want the fenders a color other than black. So I just went black on the fenders and three coats of clear. I'm not decided on body color yet but I kinda like the gray 🤔. Yeah, those lights need lowering. I'm on it. Thanks for not telling me.

That's some pretty amazing work, Jon. .

Jon, what are you using to sculpt the various mods such as the above trim elements?

You make a good point, Don. Do they still build fad-Ts? Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb 🤪....oh look....a squirrel! Raised on corn, Elliot? I'm kinda partial to ethanol myself.

The government uses squirrels for mind control. It's a CIA operation. There's no defense against it. 😒

It seems I have accumulated a few too many Bil. I want to get away from them but they keep coming at me. What should I do?

Yup. That's standard around here, Jeff. I just bought a half gallon of 99.9 IPA and a gallon of commercial grade grill and oven cleaner. 😕

Solid color or metallic? That car looks good in any color, Michael. I'd leave it white and put 3 coats of clear on it. There is one car of that era I would love to model, the '62 Olds Starfire. I wonder if JoHan ever...off to ebay....

I can't even hear what I'm saying, Eric. But yeah, it is sorta bad-ass 😌. I'm not a big fan of tubs but they have a certain charm. I love motorcycle fenders 🤓...but not on the back. 🤮

That's a great idea! I've got an SKS that's just sitting in the cabinet, waiting for something to do. 🙂

I did that to see if anyone would notice. Congratulations, Supernurd! 😀

. We must always push the envelope 😈..... part of the fun, Greg. 😉
