Yeah, I knew that. 🥴. Glad I didn't glue them in (can't complain about the fit 🙂.) I've got a lot of stuff like that I need to do. Thanks for the reminder, Russ.

I've made ladder bars from those. It could work!

I think it's going to be OK, Michael. I did more mask and paint today and it's all good.

Well I'm late to the party again. Wow, Greg, this looks like major fun. Crazy body work. What are you thinking for a chassis ?

Glorious!

I don't know if it will help to keep it there but yes, a satin clear. Once it's inside the body, it should be safe from harm. Maybe it all peels off in a few days and I throw it against the wall. I dunno, Len. I took a chance. If I have to strip it, it probably won't take much. 🥴

That grayish blue is not the best color for this car but it's a personal favorite of mine. But I did get a bottle of "Coral Mist" to paint another one of these. It's very light.

FYI: today I answered my own question. I sprayed it on Tamiya fine white primer. Everything seemed fine. Later, while peeling masking tape the poly paint lifted off the primer in a sheet. Basically, what I have now is pressure-sensitive non-adhesive film on my seats. Just my personal experience.

Interior has progressed a bit today. I had to check out the new paint 🤓. I thought I would see what the Tamiya white pearl looked like (the Poly version) so I put it on the white areas of the seats and door panels. Later, I masked it out and shot the blue. BE ADVISED ! The Poly paint does not stick well to Tamiya fine white primer. It will peel off in sheets. After discovering this, I downshifted to second and started removing the masking tape vehhhhhhhry carefully 😬. Thanks for checking in 🖖 The blue is MCW lacquer in the factory correct "Glacier Blue". The roof got painted too. MCW lacquer, Ford's "Corinthian White", a close facsimile.

I'm sorta familiar with that situation 😂 I like the way you reconfigured the roof, Jay. You were wise to keep the chop mild. The proportions look right.

Really like the sun visor idea, Dennis. I'm definitely doing that! The radiator thing is pretty weird but not for AMT 🤣. Nice save on that one. 👍🏻

Oh my, how did I miss this? I'm envious, Rooster. Very, very cool 👍🏻

Well thanks! You must have been terribly bored to drag this one up but I do appreciate it!

Thanks, Jay. Have you got a thread going on yours?

WOW, MAN! Wicked nice !! Is that the Merc roof? Oh hey, got any more like that? I recall a while back Ollie's had those '49 Mercury Police snap kits cheap. 🙂 imagine.....an endless supply of 'niner rooooòves!

Yeah, it needs something. It was an experiment, David, and I'm still playing with some ideas on how to improve the balance. The car may get some white pinstriping if I can find something appropriate in my decal stash. Flames are always welcome. I'll see what I can find. Still much to do yet on this one. Thanks for sharing the Joker with us 😎.

Ahhh...thanks.

I'll say it. CHINA. There now, Bill. 🤓 Nice muffs, Topher! Whats the source?

Thanks, Ken. I shall try but it's all up-hill these days. 😣

Yeah, thanks Carl. I thought so too. I think it would have worked better as a metallic or a pearl, though. I think maybe this color would look better as a monochrome treatment on an '90s era car. Right next to "Pepto Bismol Pink."

Sharp guage panel, Dennis. Now you need to install a delete panel on the Merc dash. 🤓

I dunno, Len. I think I've got at least one good suede paint job in me. maybe a '41......uh.....mmmmm.........naaah. 😔

That's a fact. 🙄

Ooooooo.....no, Len. Wifey has no sense of humor. 🤭

That's exactly what I was thinking, AL. 😅
