John you build some of the Coolest & Off the Wall Cars that I have ever seen ! Keep them coming !

Was able to get the distributor cap & plug wires installed & was able to get the fuel line junctions made & scratch built the fuel pressure regulator so hopefully tomorrow evening I can get the fuel lines ran & the regulator installed.

Right On Carl !

Happy Easter to all ! Be safe hunting the eggs today !

Would love to open up a garage like that but would not know where to start. I have 16 years in the car repair business & its really getting tough at our shop.

What a monster of a ride ! Puts my softail to shame ! What an awesome build this will be John.

Was thinking of picking up this kit to put on my build list so I'll be watching this build and buy the way I think the wheel & tire combo will look good with this kit.

Thank You Carl !

Looking Awesome Art !

Was able to detail the fire wall & inner fenders today which turned out ok I guess & a mock up of the motor which I still have to scratch build the fuel pressure regulater & run the fuel line then add the distributed cap and plug wires & carb linkage.

WOW !

A little teaser mock up of the build with the freshly cleared body on the the chassie. Will rub out the body this weekend & hopefully get the BMF on also. Thank You all for the encouragement on this build !

Sent you a pm Mike

Was able to get a couple of coats of clear on today ! So I will let it gas out for about a week then rub it out. May work on assembling the engine tonight & figure out where to run the fuel lines.

Well I have applied the Super Bee decals to the rear strip on the tail end of the Coronet & they look pretty good so after they cure I will shoot some clear on the body tomorrow then some pictures.

Yes they make they bumble strip but in the kit decals it is only on the white strip not the black and that is the strip i used since it goes better with the green.

Thank you for the info Art ! She is looking awesome ! Hoping to get the Bee done for next month also.

Guys thank you for offering the decals its really appreciated but I already have applied the strip on the back after the c strips disintegrated. So I got an idea that I might cut out the bee's from the white c strips and apply those on the sides of the black strip that comes down the sides of the rear quarter panels. Does that make sense ? and what do think yes or no ?

A little progress on the Bee which is that I have applied the rear strip decal but disappointed with the decals that come with this kit because I was wanting to use the C strips that go along the sides of the rear quarter panels but as soon as they where put in the water for about 30 seconds they just broke apart as they came off the paper. Next step will be to clear it this weekend.

Thomas the paint was Testors One Coat Lacquer Lime Ice decanted from the can then airbrushed. Thank you for the encouragement ! This build has been fighting me a lot of the time but it has taught me some lessons as I move along with it slowly.

John every new build from you is just Amazing !

Was able to get the side markers BMF & painted this evening so next will be the decals.

Has anybody else noticed that on a lot of kits that that the configuration of the steering wheel to the drivers seat is always off plus not in scale sometimes. Reason being that I ask is that in the Bee kit the configuration is off on the way the stock steering sits basically on the drivers seat. So I have replaced the kit steering with a smaller one so it looks realistic to scale.

Dennis try TDR 3 and www.shapeways.com

Well I finally was able to shoot some color on the Bee today which now Is a different color since I ran out of the red. So next I will be applying the decals & getting the front & rear side markers detailed and then a few coats of clear to finish off the body.
