Traveled many miles riding in back of a 60 Ford Country sedan. In my teen years I drove 54 Ford Wagon and later drove a 59 Chevy Wagon. Traveling in the back of that 60 Ford was a lot more comfortable than trying sleep while laying on the package tray or worse try to lay down over the driveline hump.

Trunk louvers ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I ended up going this route as I had a 32 in the parts stash. It took some finessing as the 32 trunk lid is wider, shorter and has some compound curvature. But with several rounds of "heat and bend" I got it in place. Still needs some finish work on the edges and I see a dip below the louvers that I need to fill but all and all it will works. Thanks for the suggestion -
Corded or Cordless, I need one that runs at a slower speed. My Dremel's lowest speed is to fast for some of my needs. I have an older Dremel that runs on a 7.2 battery pack and it is also to fast.

Jon Haigwood replied to Miatatom's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I did a bit of research of the Createx line and discover that AutoBorne sealers are also primers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwBF7XFjpAM&ab_channel=CreatexColorsCo -

Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The flake comes in 4 sizes. The Rattle Bomb aerosol cans come in the smallest size. Watching the videos may help you decide if it is for you. I was mainly interested in the Kandy https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2226/4923/files/TDS01152013001-2_Applying_Roth_Metal_Flake.pdf?5819599158123070388 -

Looking for thin metal bars
Jon Haigwood replied to Fat Brian's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Not exactly what you were looking for but may be helpful. I wanted the trunk to open like a Rumble seat and hide the hinge. Used square brass tube and used it for part of the inner trunk support. Used metal wire and inserted the ends into the trunk floor in small round tubes. I took a lot of trial and error to get it to open and close right. The trunk also opens with the bottom going inside of the body. -

Trunk louvers ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Some great info here thanks guys. Thinking about using some 1/4 round to make the louvers and attach them to some thin sheet styrene. Then cut out the louver section and attach it to the body. This is how I make tuck-n-roll upholstery. Thanks for the info and tips. Archer stuff is available thru Teds -

Createx white opaque
Jon Haigwood replied to Brian Hurst's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I know the 2012 had issues with clumping. I did experience this problem my ownself so I went back to the 2011. They recommend that it be stirred and not shaken when mixing. A lot of youtube videos on this and other application of Createx paint.
