  4. 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! Steve
  5. 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. Steve
  6. 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!! Steve
  7. That's a very good price Bill! Steve
  8. 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. Steve
  9. 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
  10. I would think if your model gets hot enough to melt the embossing powder.........Well, lets just say you may have other problems as well. Steve
  11. 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." Steve
  12. "Buying bread from a man in Brussels, he was 6 ft. 4 & full of muscles." Steve
  13. "The sun don't shine the moon don't move the tides, to wash me clean." Steve
  14. "Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capital, the Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, as Russians will." Steve
  15. Ready for some color. Steve
  16. That's what I hear. I have good glass for these, & even if not, I understood we had a year or so before that happens. Steve
  17. I would think you could use whatever adhesive you're comfortable with. Some guys will use paint as an adhesive as well. Steve
  18. 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
  19. That I did know. Just neglected to mention it. Barracuda is one of my favorite songs of all time! Steve
  20. Got it!! Dream Boat Annie!! & I didn't have to take a nap! Steve
  21. When I close my eyes, it always ends in a nap! Steve
  22. 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
  23. "Neon lights, a Nobel prize, then a mirror speaks, the reflection lies, You don't have to follow me, only you can set me free." Steve
  24. "Saturday night I was downtown, working for the FBI. Sittin' in a nest of bad men, whiskey bottles piling high." Steve
  25. "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." Steve
