Started painting stuff. Man my eyes are old!!! I need two different pairs of glasses and for the real tiny stuff, no glasses at all but the part has to be 2" from my face. Good for inhaling fumes. Painted the recesses and the "holes" in the wheels. I'm not entirely happy with them. This is the Keith Marks decal sheet I got. I'm debating whether to use his wheel center decals or paint the ones on the wheels. This is where I need you experts' help. To use the decals, I suppose I have to smooth out the hub, remove the embossed emblem in there, correct? And then, the images look like they have to be cut out individually. How does one cut out an image that is about 3/32 in diameter?

Excellent! I am both in admiration and jealous. Your paint is incredible and the photography professional, like everything else .

Looking good. What is the blue one? A diecast?

Rex, I can go to the storage and take a photo of the quarter panels if you want. Their configuration will be very visible with the top up.

I don't know Joe. I know I wasn't 14 but it is in the 90's at the latest. -

I've been following this for a while Joe. Love it. I have the same kit which I may redo. I'll keep looking for tips and techniques to steal, pardon plagiarize. -

I reposted mine but the old dyslexia took over in the title. How do I correct that? -
Last night, I painted some details on the engine accessories. I noticed that the kit offers plain or Cobra valve covers. My car has the Cobra ones but they are black. So I painted them and wiped off the surface.

Earlier this week I had started to fool around with ignition wires. I read somewhere (Mr.Obsessive , I think) that AWG 30 wire casing was about right for spark plug wire boots. I used the casing of some telephone wire but it looked somewhat big. Then I tried the casing from another phone cable and it was better.

This is to pick up on a thread that disappeared in the migration to the new server. It is about making a replica of my 1:1 1967 Mustang. I had started with this thread to gather info:http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=90131&hl= I then went on to purchase the resin coupe body and a couple of fastbacks for the guts. I have also ordered a C4 transmission, a set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires , a convertible top boot, a set of decals which have the GT/A stripes ,and a set of photo etched details . This will end up being a rather expensive model. In the first few postings I had cut the roof off the coupe and toyed with the idea of modifying the rear seat area or not.

...Sharing some pain...(Lost Parts)
landman replied to DR JAY's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That is my preferred method. I lose one almost evrey session.... a part, not the flashlight. -
If you look closely, the cab is very similar to the '65 Chevy pickup's. Using that and the hood of a Ford N 600 I'm sure I can cobble a good semblance of a B 7000.

Are there any kits made of the early 60's GMC B-7000?

Is that display case still available somewhere? It's got my attention too! -

You are correct, I think the deluxe seats had a little chrome thing in the backrest. -

This was supposed to be in the quote above. We're on it David. I think I have all bases covered. Thanks. -

Thanks Steve. I found a link to decals I had forgotten about. Turns out it is Keith's. As far as the interior, mine is partial deluxe, for some reason it doesn't have the door panels. -

I imagine that would have to be reduced. how do get it right? -

Thanks Dan & Steve. Yes I have decal paper, so I could print some. As far as the C6 vs C4 that would be the lest of my worries. -
The whitewalls didn't work. Looks like I'll be touching up the wheels AND the tires. Discussing some interesting alternatives to that roof with Mr. Fractalign. This project may fall onto the back burner for a while.

'67 Mustang conversion kit
landman replied to landman's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Received the '67 coupe body from Jeff today. Looks real good!. Looked into the Fastback box. Everything I will need is in there except: an auto matic transmission/shifter, the boot (discussed above) and GTA stripes. Anyone knows about aftermarket GTA stripes and what kit I could cannibalize for a Ford auto trans and T shifter? -

Boy, do I ever like that garage. I bet it has stories to tell.
