Thanks for the info Terry! I've used Rustoleum for a couple of paint jobs right out of the can, it's like around $3.99 for a big can and goes on like butter.

It looks great Steve, I'm glad you stayed with it. I'm with Harry, I love this body style.

Terry, what brand of paint did you use on the orange car and how did you apply it? That finish is killer.

Nice job Fred!

Very nice Randy, love those colors on both cars!

Very cool car, that first full profile shot is awesome! So cool. What kit is this?

Very nice job Jim! Nice clean work, everytthing fits, great colors. Engine looks great, but , there appears to be some dust in that shot.

Tamiya makes a 'Maroon' TS-11 that is almost brown, it's like a deep 'reddish' brown. Nice color scheme for this Eric.

Cool looking rod Richard

Looks really good Richard, nice work on the fuel pressure gauge.

Beautiful car for sure Adam, I really like this body style. Colors are gonna look great, and , good choice on using Alclad for the wheels.

Looks good Jeff. If you add chrome it will really pop. Interior looks 'really' good, if you do something for the emblem on the steering wheel that would be cool.

Kevin, check the sprues carefully, things like that sterring column can hide pretty well sometimes. Gene

the repaint was of mixed success. Overall 98%? of the area I repainted looks fine. There are some (3) small lines on the fender just back from the headlight round where I had a hard time masking around/under/over the bumper side that curves around. And, this is the worst part () I used 'old' (kind of stiff) 3M blue painters edgeing tape to mask off the large areas and when I removed it, yes, ........oh no! Small places of the drivers side livery came off with it. See, I'm in territory here that I've never been in before,. I've never tried to repaint a 'section' of a car before so this is all new to me, had to start/learn sometime right? At first I thought of putting the car back in it's box, (ohhh it's cold in here!) and waiting, but , this morning I feel like I've been down this road for so long now with this car that I have to finish it somehow. Yes the livery is damaged, but , I've got a freshly painted hood and drivers side front qtr panel. Everything else on the car is in tact and good. How I'm gonna save it has yet to be revealed. Stay tuned, I'll post pics of the damage. Edit: I'm ok, just debating best way to finish this up. Gonna let the paint dry another day probably before i proceed.

It's lacquer Kevin, thanks for the post. It did dull the paint a little, so , I decided to mask that whole side from the back of the door forward, and , repaint. It's really the only thing that was gonna make it right with all that has been done to it. It turned out ok(?) there's one little spot were I got too heavy with the paint, well actually I got too heavy with the second coat period. It's cool here today , (53 degrees when I painted) and the paint flowed a little different, we'll see how it dries. Wow, " Down The Road A Piece" with the AWB Mustang!

Man, that car is looking good Bill. Just screams in that red, and , I love the color difference between the engine and the body color, looks very realistic. The red ring on the hubcap looks awesome, really pulls the whole thing together somehow. Gene

Ya Randy, this is looking great man, that interior is so clean and crisp, engine too, good job on the valve covers, heck everything is clean and crisp! For the wood on your dash, is that just one color? Because it looks great. Wow, you really did bugger up your thumb, ouch.

Great thread Greg, I'm really enjoying this!

Thanks Kevin! I should have this car finished in a few days at the most. (ya, right)

That's a lot of Cobra's, I've yet to begin my first!

Nice job, love these cars.

Nice, nice color too.

Interior and roll bar are looking good Andy. (stacks!)

Thanks Ray! It looks much better than the white. What you see is just Tamiya Bright Red (from the can, yes!) over Tamiya Fine white primer, no clear, or , wax. Now, if I could just get the stance like I would like it, lol, not gonna happen at this point in the game, but , I cAN see now where the major points of contention are: The top edges of the rear section of the tub, (what?) that start at the 'B' pillar(?) going back to the storage space needs to be taken down more than I did when I was prepping this car, and , I spent 'hours' working on that tub, and , the surfaces that it mates, (sort of) up to inside the body. And, the other major area of contention is still the way the back/top part of the dash, and , bottom/front of the front glass mate up. That whole area is just messed up, because it's hard to tell exactly what, and , how the botton edge of the glass is resting on. Oh well, tales from the 'Super Boss' Engineering Consortium
