About the Krylon paint....I always turn the can and spray until clear. I've soaked the nozzle but it doesn't seem to be the problem as I've grabbed a brand new nozzle from another can and tried that but it's the stem that's stuck. I'm taking thinner and dabbing the stem to see if that works. I think one of the cans is coming around. This problem has happened if the used can has sat for a few weeks or even a few days so not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for the input.

Krylon paint cans. Lately I've had 3 or 4 cans that end up with clogged stems. Not the nozzle part but the stem. I always clear out the nozzle but when I go to use it again I can't get any paint out of it. Don't know what to do. Had it happen to an off-brand can too. Seems to happen after I've used about 1/3 of the can.

I remember building the short and long tail versions of this. Nice to see someone else build one and you did a real nice job.

Great! Always liked '40 Fords and really like how you made this one look so "stock".

This is an unknown resin kit that I got with a trade online many years ago. Had no idea what it looked like and was surprised how crude it was. I fiddled with it off and on for many years because it was so much work trying to make a decent model out of it. Used a Revell ASA chassis because the resin chassis was junk. Had to heavily modify it to get the body to fit. Managed to use the resin tires but had to do a lot of cutting and sanding to mate them with the Revell wheels. Roll cage is part of the resin kit and part plastic to make it fit. Then I made more work for myself attempting to fit a driver in the cockpit but I finally finished it. Nothing special but no longer have it sitting in a box.

The basic AMT kit with PPP wheels and tires added and a driver and various decals. Tamiya paint that came out way too nice. Thought about making the car dirty but just didn't feel like it.

Didn't realize he was that old. I remember when The Cars first hit the music scene and thought they had a different sound and I liked it. Lots of hits. Ric Ocasek was a talented guy.

I have never been to a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop. Recently my wife had a peanut butter doughnut at work and said it was great so I thought I'd drive to Krispy Kreme this morning and do her a favor and get a couple and grab something different for myself. The nearest shop is 10 miles from our house and the website said they open at 5 am every day. I arrived about 5:15 and see a note on the door they won't be open until 7. Really?! Nothing on the website. Never been there and I pick today to drive the 20 mile round trip for nothing.

70 years old. Really liked his music. Seemed we always put some of his songs on when we had a get together since it was upbeat and fun.

I always thought she was hot on the Mary Tyler Moore show. Her character was funny but I couldn't accept how they always had her longing for a date or steady relationship. The Rhoda show was great. She fought her sickness longer than expected and I was happy to see that.

I think I saw her on the All Girls Garage show? Checked it out to see what these women can do and was quite impressed. Think I saw a finished vehicle on a SEMA show coverage. Very sad.

Geez, you did a lot of research and then followed it up with a great build!

I like to build oddball kits once in awhile and your review shows me this is a decent kit to have some fun with. Thanks.

Just found out Willamette Speedway has suddenly closed due to code violations. Seems they have been told for awhile to fix electrical issues and other things but haven't done it. This is a great dirt track and had the World of Outlaws scheduled to visit on September 4th. My son, grandson and I have been going here every year and I always get the same reserved seats but there's been some funky issues this year with my order and now I know why. Was in contact with World of Outlaws people about it and they were aware of the problems. Guess I might not see them this year. Bummer!

Too bad you had trouble with the paint. Still looks good and a lot of work to create that paint scheme. I can't imagine there were any fit issues as I've built many Tamiya kits and never came across a problem yet.

Nice! Perfect build!

Thanks for all the work you do. This is the best forum so happy to see it continue.

Nice detail! Brings back memories of these cars. Thanks.

The kit seemed to have everything to build the stock '48 version along with the new parts to build this version. Soft top, hub caps, etc. The instructions show option A and B clearly showing which version to build.

Very nice! Built this car years ago and as I recall it went together well. I used the original decals but can understand them being a bit old by now.

Yes, those seat decals came with the kit and went on very well.

Decided to do something different and try out this kit. Matchbox sized models and all parts molded in red so figured I'd just paint them red. Obviously nothing special but it was a fun change to build them and be happy with what they are. Found some decals in my stash to spruce up the Indy racer.

Not a big fan of the movie "Grease" but the campiness has grown on me as I've gotten older. The Revell kit looked like it would be fun and it was. Painted with Tamiya white and built out of the box. The decals took 5-10 minutes to loosen and then they didn't want to move once on the model. Luckily they were very strong and ended up looking real good.

What they all said. Great job!

Thanks for all the info. I have never bought anything from ebay and most likely never will. Figure I don't need something bad enough to dive into that place.
