That trim looks really nice, I haven’t got to that point yet. I have been rough shaping the body and bumpers. I had these in the spare parts drawer. I also glued up a grill from an AMT Blue Printer Parts Pack #8158. I may even use the 392 engine from the same pack.

I have visited the website recently, just window shopping. The stacks look nice. Those doors look like they will need considerable sanding. What do you think of the parts?

An un-committed 665.9

That looks great. I need to reinforce my cuts before I break them loose working on it. I like micro mesh screen or even some fabric strips covered with CA glue. Here a couple of progress pix. WW’s and Caddy caps. 32 Ford buckets FrenchedSkirted and Stanced

Very well done, nice model!

Made some B pillars out of styrene and got the first of the filler on and rough sanded last night. I’ve been using 2x auto body filler for years. It doesn’t melt plastic like some spot putty and it sets like Bondo. I like to tape off areas that need protected during this stage. More shaping to follow.

I will be working off and on this as a long term project this winter. I was gifted this box with a couple of built cars. Starting with the top chop first, I’ll be using a few techniques I’ve learned over the years. Eyeball engineering I make a few cuts to lay the rear window down. Checking fitment as I go. Using the front roof section from the spare car instead of adding styrene I made it about 4 scale inch longer Slanted B pillar, this will be my first attempt at these. I like to use old business cards for mock-ups. Hopefully this goes well, questions are welcomed.

I am enjoying the progress reports. I even got my Air Frames Curtis-P6E out to see about finishing it.

After years of waiting, due to display space, I have decided to build a Semi Truck. I recently purchased the AMT kit pictured here. I will be doing a slightly customized rig and could use some reference material and aftermarket supply, resin or 3D. Also, any tips would be appreciated! This will become a winter project, so I do have time to gather thoughts and parts before starting, thanks in advance for the help.

Superb!

Wait, are we still talking about model cars? LoL, looks interesting though!

Boy I must be slipping, just noticed my dbl posting! Jeez.....

Mockup and test fitting, body prep and paint to follow. Seems to be going together well.

Beautifully done, neat and clean. Great color combo and finish.

looking good, press on....

Chassis is complete, engine bay still to do. Interior is done and test fitting continues. More body prep to follow.

"Days are not good or bad, but what you make of them"

Yes strip, re-chrome, chrome paint or Alclad.

Interesting model and subject matter, you have my interest....

^^^^THIS^^^^ No discussion needed.....

Good looking Nova....

Hopefully we won't all get bogged down by over thinking things. (Oh look a squirrel...... LoL)

Thx for the pic, currently looking for a scribe tool that makes a clean cut. Your project is coming along nicely, looking forward to seeing more.

Nicely done and well-built with lots of lurking details. I had to look up that engine having never seen one before. https://myflatheadford.com/the-famous-jiggler/
