Thanks for posting.... my routine is similar to yours. I always make up new spoons when I'm ready to paint bodies and usually do a white and gray primer before the color coat. I then number the spoons and add to a spreadsheet for future reference. I haven't used Duplicolor primer as yet though.

Like a lot of us, I'm also guilty to have glued fabric into my interiors. Who knew then? Oh, and skirts. That's another subject for another thread.

The bane of my restoration jobs. Even though I know going in that the bombs I pick up for restoration have fabric coverings I still get them. Of the many I've done, I've yet to get a really salvageable result. This one's corduroy and out of a '62 Galaxie. Thought I'd post for a smile from those that suffer the same fate. Not sure what were thinking when we were kids

I have a wide assortment of quarter round, half round, and all shapes and sizes of strip styrene. With patience and planning you can make your own. I've had to do more than a few myself.

The OP Randy started the thread about conventional razor saws, but I'd hoped to not step on toes asking about the different kinds of saws/blades. I do almost strictly restorations of "pre-owned/pre-built" cars and find that the tools used for disassembly make a huge difference in quality and frustration levels. These blades really help with some of the fine cuts I often make. Over the years I've amassed a number of specialized tools, including some I've made myself. I'm always looking for new ways to skin the cat ?

So I got the Tamiya razor saw blades and the Citadel handle/blades from Amazon the other day and have decided to keep them both. The Citadel comes with 6 blades of moderately different shape, but not much (if any) difference in TPI in my opinion and so far seem to be too coarse for some of the work I need them for. But, I do really like the feel of the handle and the blades seem sharp and sturdy. The Tamiya blades are in two basic shapes and each have three different TPI's and are pretty thin. Having the folding shape of these blades helps in providing strength when in the holder, but can be used without folding or in a handle. These are alot like the Hasegawa blades except that the Hasegawa blades have more shapes, but can't be folded to put into a holder. They are sturdy enough to use without a holder though. I think I now have more tools than kits

I think we may have a winner.... Mark chose the '64 Cutlass and it sure looks good. Thanks!

The Lincoln caps do look close. Maybe an SMP casting liberty with the center emblem?

Olds? I know we all like trivia mysteries ? Rich

I have a set of 4 of these wheel covers that were on a glue bomb '61 smp chevy and I'm pretty sure they don't belong, stock or custom. I should know what emblem that is in the center of the cover but I just can't place it. Anyone? Thanks!

So, I bought a few different things one of which arrived today. It's an assortment of different shaped thin PE saws by Hasegawa. Least I'm guessing they're PE. Haven't tried one yet but they are of a few different TPI's and some seem REALLY fine. Not sure yet what I'll do for a holder yet. One of the other items is a Citadel brand saw set. I'll keep you posted when I get them.

Welcome! Coincidentally, I'm waiting for the '65 Impala convertible boot I bought from you a few days ago Glad to have you here. Rich

I have a couple saws, one is a zona and not sure of the other. One has more teeth than the other and I have needs of both kinds at times. As long as we're on the subject of saws (hoping not to hijack the thread) I'm searching for a #11 size/shape saw blade that has more teeth than my tamiya or testors #11's. I love the shape of a #11 for being able to reach into tight spaces but the coarse teeth doesn't allow for much movement. I've ordered a few things from amazon that might work and should be seeing them soon, but none are #11 shape.

A second great trade with Khils! Thanks again Kev!

Just messaged them. Really prefer just the lenses themselves as the bumper I have is just fine, other than chrome. Thanks Chris!

Didn't know about it. I suppose it adds clear backup lights? Bumper the same as stock? Mine seems decent other than needing rechroming.

Picked up a trio of 60's over the past few months. I also picked up resin taillights for the Dodge from Acme Resin and they're great.

Great '62 Steve! Love the detail and paint!

Like minds....... ?

My older stash that I've been accumulating for some time. I have newer kits but nothing special.

Thanks!

Going through some misc parts, trying to generally sort. Can you help with these? I'm thinking B is from a mopar and C is a Lincoln rear step-up? F's are hood scoops?

I got my discount code too... trying to decide how to spend it now ?

Nice! Great having a dedicated space to work in and you did it right!

Great build Anders!
