Yes David. With these old annuals the chrome parts are usually in rough shape so I almost always have them re-chromed. Even if the chrome is pretty good, a lot of times I just want to get rid of the mold lines. The last time I sent parts off, I got parts for 8 kits re-chromed for about $50.00. Well worth it to me!

I've seen it on Amazon. I've also heard a professional painter on this forum say it's some very nasty stuff!! That's all I needed to hear. I was considering trying it also, but shyed away.

Isn't that what coral is? This is the same color I used on my '59 Dodge. The darker of the 2 colors is the "Coral". The lighter color is called "Rose Quartz" Now that's pink!!

Got a start on the paint on this one today. Started with the coral color which will adorn the top, wheels & the panel between the tail lights. That is the toughest part of painting this model! I always get so nervous about masking chromed parts for painting. Even a little bit of "bleed under" & your part is ruined! Not to mention the risk of the tape pulling up chrome & that sort of thing. But the trusty BMF & Tamiya tape came through again! I wouldn't even attempt something like this anymore without these types of products! Anyway, I'm happy with the results. Now it's on tho the gray body color.

Thanks everyone! I personally have never been a huge fan of dog dish caps either. This was just one of those circumstances where the stars were aligned right and it popped into my head & I thought.......why not? Steve
Another car song......Sort of.
"When I hit the road I was really Wheelin',
had gravel flyin' & rubber squeelin',
and I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas."

I may use some of the parts from the Trumpeter kit if there's anything usable for a '59. But I will be building this as a curbside so swapping will be minimal. Although I may be able to use a few parts when I build the '60. Lord knows I'll never build the Trumpeter kit! Steve
Mine must be too easy Harry. That & my memory is BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! The lyrics you're posting look familiar, but I can never remember where they're from! Steve
"And the man in the back is ready to crack
as he raises his hands to the sky,
And the girl in the corner is everyone's woman
she could kill you with a wink of her eye."
