The boot came on a 65 Imperial cv I got years ago and I knew it wasn't right but the Imp got put away til recently and I was wondering where I might be able to use it if I could ID it. No plans for a convertible Merc right now, but I know I have a boot for it anyway 😂

The 63 Galaxie is close but it has kind of a hump across the width. Has ribs like the Merc though. Thanks

Bingo Mark... 63/64 Merc. Thanks as usual.

Yup

Anyone recognize this boot? Came with a 65 Imperial but pretty sure it's incorrect for the Imp. Thanks!

Yes, from Diolex.

I've noticed some printed stuff wanting to return to their original warped state after correcting. Chassis and flat interior pieces seem to be where you might find some warping. Thankfully I haven't noticed any warping with the bodies (maybe I've just been lucky). Nice build Michelle!

I have the 70 Coupe in my stash, and yes it looks like the rear quarters are good.

Totally agree. I've spent a small fortune at Scalefinishes on Cad Firemist colors 😉

I think it was your post earlier that listed the hood and the rear quarter issues. I often look for stuff like this but unfortunately didn't see your post til after I'd laid the paint. Like you, I wasn't about to go back and try and correct things. I have a printed 70 Fleetwood and from what I can see the front is still a bit flat and the backlight seems a bit wider than it looks in online pics. The body side lines appear correct though.

I think it's a medical-type tape that I've had for a long time. It's relatively thin and sticks well. Unfortunately, no brand name. The texture isn't nearly as coarse as the pics show and at normal distance it looks acceptible.

Super variety of builds! Nice!

Scalefinishes 1975 Cerise Firemist on this 70 Cad cv. I didn't realize the body had a few "errors" when I began the build and when I finally understood the problems it was too late as I'd already done my painting. Otherwise, lots of stuff done to it. Thanks for looking!

So far, so good!

My bad! I need the 68 hood..... great catch Steve! Thanks!
