  1. Aha Harry! You are still awake! & as sharp as ever! Steve
  2. Another car song. Steve "Here in my car, I feel safest of all."
  3. "you're daddy's good girl & don't tell mommy a thing." Steve
  4. "If my fist clenches crack it open, before I use it & lose my cool." Steve
  5. "Jose's on a vacation far away, come around & talk it over." Steve
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. That's a very good price Bill! Steve
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. "Buying bread from a man in Brussels, he was 6 ft. 4 & full of muscles." Steve
  15. "The sun don't shine the moon don't move the tides, to wash me clean." Steve
  16. "Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capital, the Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, as Russians will." Steve
  17. Ready for some color. Steve
  18. 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
  19. I would think you could use whatever adhesive you're comfortable with. Some guys will use paint as an adhesive as well. Steve
  20. 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
  21. That I did know. Just neglected to mention it. Barracuda is one of my favorite songs of all time! Steve
  22. Got it!! Dream Boat Annie!! & I didn't have to take a nap! Steve
  23. When I close my eyes, it always ends in a nap! Steve
  24. 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
  25. "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
