My plan is to do something similar to the Gibbons Kopperhead 50 but not try to just duplicate it. I am thinking about taking the Deville roof from the convert kit and using it as the back half of the 50 roof. Not sure if I will need to lengthen the doors.

Mind Fart Sorry They look to be the same body except for the side molding were the badging is and the trunk hinges

Has anyone done a side by side comparison of the AMY Rnd2 49 Ford Convert kit and the 50 Ford Coupe Kit ? Just wandering

Anybody ever use HOK Pearl Paste ? I found a jar of it while cleaning off a shelf. What clear would I mix it with ?

Very happy with trade with Mr Muppet. He saved my bacon on this one. Thanks Again

I am having trouble understanding your question. What is this "finishing" thing you mentioned ?

I use the Pearl . Mix it with Autoair Transparents or over color coat.

The Deuce ,small block Chevy most likely a 283 ?

AMT made a few 66 Nova kits and also some 65's, But if you look at the kit tail lights and compare them to the pics my66s55 posted it looks to be a 65. Also the body lines are different

I was going by the lights in the front bumper but found this so you are most likely correct

You might take a look at Duplicolor Dark Canyon Red , it may be darker than you want (not my build, just a google pic) I used it for the dash and package tray and Krylon Banner Red for the rest Satin clear used on top

Here is a spec sheet for them. With some modifications the look like they might be doable.Top height is a bit too tall but could be shortened. Not sure what to do about the large base diameter? http://www.ferrulesdirect.com/pdf/Spec-Sheets/Insulated-Wire-Ferrules-Spec-Sheet.pdf

I have been using the Autoair Colors paint and you can buy the Pearl in individual color or mix the pearl with the transparent colors' On my current build that is pearl white with pearl blue panels. I found the pearl white (Createx) has more of champagne color so I used the Ceramcoat pearl over Duplicolor gloss white to get the color I want. For the blue I just add the pearl to transparent blue. The have other paint effects like color shift and hi-lit interference that you should be able to mix in for different effects .

I do as Foxer does with aluminum tubing. I use aluminum tube for various scratch building projects so I have it around anyway.

Picked up a 48 Ford resin at a swap meet a couple years back

As said shaking and smooth surface is the key.

Bridgetown closed down and is now a Pot shop. (This was one of my favorite stores) Speaking of SABA of which I am also a member. If your in town on the second Sunday of the month you could drop in on a meeting.

Stay away from downtown Portland, it's weird

I have been fighting with the paint on this Hemi Hydro boat for awhile. Trying to get some good edges on the blue sections. After several drownings in the "Pond". I ended up with using some old pinstripe tape that I have had laying around for some years. I start with Autoair Pearl White and then a coat of intercoat clear (Autoair 4030) , lay down the pinstripe tape and then another light coat of 4030. Then sprayed the Blue Pearl (also Autoair) and another light coat of 4030. Now after it dries (and I touch up where some blue slipped thru) it will be cleared then polished. The pinstripe tape leaves nice clean edges and no residue.

Where is the best place to get outside door handles for a 32 Ford ? Thanks Jon

You might try angling the blade back to help stay in the groove util you establish a deeper groove.

I tried this pen out by applying the mask and after it dried cutting a straight edge with a exacto knife (new blade) and it just ripped .
