    Thanks guys. I was able to rescribe both sides as well. Only I glued a spacer and guide on a #11 blade and pulled it backward. Lightly!

    Had a little window of warmer weather so I got a good base on the Ford yesterday... Wet sanding and final paint to follow....

    ​Tried my hand at a little re-scribing. I made a template for the wings and glued a guide on the tool for the straights. Also some block sanding... And then final primer... I also plugged the holes in the "A" pillars and removed the door handles, Thanks for looking, Jim.

    NNL Toledo, Shenago Valley Model Club and Columbus. Half what I use to do. I find more enjoyment in the picture taking and meeting of fellow builders than any amount of trophy hording can do.

    ​Hopefully the term it self will disappear, and people will stop making new cars look old. But build old barn find types into Hot Rods. The way Grandpa use to do!

    ​I have heard of a technique used when foiling. Scribe along the trim before painting, it allows a cleaner line to follow. ​Have you ever heard of this? Is there a tutorial? Pictures? Thanks J2

    I've been doing some clean up on this one, removed emblems and handles. The tape helps me to stay off of the trim when filling and sanding. Also had to make a new ridge on the hood, the previous owner had partially sanded it off. Plenty of work to do still. Thanks, Jim...

    Good looking CAR-ral, and welcome to the show. Story on the horse?

    After months of neglect I got this one out of the packing box and decide the paint had to go. So into the purple pond it went. I also found better headers for it. I'll leave you in suspense though, pix to come...
  15. James2
    Yes it do! The whole build is looking good.

    Welcome to the show Fred. Perhaps you would like to share some of those photos?

    Good looking Racer, Mark. Even in the good old days DW had bling!
  18. James2
    Looks good so far....

    Thanks guys, my thought was because it is molded in at the rear there is no line showing a removable skirt. No reason to scribe one in except for realism, after all it is a plastic model!
  20. James2
    ​After a little research I realize in 1:1 the skirts could not come off to change a tire. I have drawn a line where the separation could be. I am thinking of a slight scribe line there. Or leave it alone? What do you think?
  21. James2
    I think I know how you came up with your forum name!

    Nice looking bug, well done.

    Managed to get a few pieces sprayed with Alclad Chrome this weekend. Here is the rear bumper. ​And compared to before... I found a few flaws in the body work so I'll be working that out before painting. But getting nearer!
  24. James2
    Thanks for the help everyone. These tires are a little big for this build, but could be used. They are from the 50 Olds kit. But this is the look I'm after. The white wall is kind of an experiment with acrylic paint. This could work with an airbrush and a circle template.
  25. James2
    Coming along nicely!
