Same car.

If you use the spray can, there's more product waste from overspray when applying it to bumpers, grilles, etc. So, you're not really saving any money.

You get what you pay for. You pay thirty bucks for ink. I pay for permanent, durable automotive quality chrome paint. FYI, Alsa sells a 6 oz. can for $169. No clear coat required.

It's amazing what some sellers try to palm off. Even moreso, that there are buyers who will bite. Take this dude cruzone, for instance, who lists stuff like this Johan 1960s Marlin American Motors model Car Kit 1/25 scale C-1900 vintage Sure, he adds this in the seller notes “The kit is missing many parts, including body frame suspension ,engine tires, etc. Instructions included. The box is in decent shape. There is some edge wear.” This is what you get if you're stupid enough to bid for or buy it. He lists a number of similar part tree specials like this.

Wick, just brush the ELO on the body/parts. Never soak them. The paint will start crinkling and loosen in about 10-15 minutes. Use a nylon brush to scrub the surface. Most, if not all, of the paint should come off. If any remains, reapply with a brush and repeat the procedure. Wash off the residue with dishwashing liquid and warm-hot water and the body will be completely stripped of paint.

Did anyone actually expect results different than with Molotow? It's an ink, essentially the same product as Molotow. Any type of clear gloss coat will reduce or eliminate the reflective finish. Alsa Easy Chrome is a superior product because it is a paint. It's extremely durable, doesn't dull or rub off from handling and retains its mirror-like finish when a clear urethane gloss coat is applied.

Why yes, it has been.

Atlantis would, in all likelihood, have all three in addition to the '57 Nomad.

You missed my point. FoMoCo designs were pretty plain and unimaginative throughout the Fifties into the Sixties. The 1958-60 Lincolns incorporated plenty of design accents, such as the front fender coves and headlights, which gave them an ungraceful, chunky look. Overall, they continued the boxy look I mentioned. Even the '55-'64 Fairlane/Galaxie lineup wasn't nearly as visually appealing compared to what GM and Chrysler designed from '57 onward. Both of those manufacturers bought into producing more streamlined designs earlier than Ford.

Chrysler broke free and led the way from '57 with the Forward Look while Ford trudged on, excepting the Mustang, with the boxy look until the mid '60s. It took GM until the 1959 MY to break the mold on its lineup. Nothing wrong with the Studebakers. The '50-'54 models were also ahead of their time in terms of styling with elegant, sweeping lines. Even the sedans looked better than the offerings from the Big Three of that period. My opinion. I don't follow the group-think consensus of other members.

If I could, I would. A Win 10 update back in late 2019-early 2020 permanently stopped my Canon 300D from being recognized as a device on my laptop and is no longer compatible. I can't use the laptop card slot because the camera card is too big to fit the slot. That's why I copied and pasted the pics of the Imperial Crown from the item listing. I'll get a card adapter one day; right now, I have other more pressing priorities. I hope that is a satisfactory answer to your question. And no, I can't take pics with my cell phone because I don't own one. I don't need one. Re any WIPs, you missed them. I've completed a number of car kits, including five WIPs (3 in 1 thread) I posted: A heavily reworked and accurate Trumpeter 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe A JoHan 168 Plymouth Pursuit police car as a NYPD RMP with a redone interior and chassis using the undercarriage from a Revell '67 GTX A Lindberg 1953 Ford Victoria converted into a 1952 Club Coupe as used by the NYPD A restoration of a partially destroyed JoHan '60 Desoto Adventurer A Revell '59 Impala HT with functioning doors, hood and trunk. The body of the '60 Impala which I was working on, included in the WIP for the Bonneville and '59 Impala, is dead. The body was accidentally crushed and was FUBAR'ed beyond hope. I don't feel like laying out triple digits to grab one from ebay. A Protar Ferrari 250 GTO I've also completed others over the past two years, including the following: A resin '67 Plymouth Fury III 2Dr Hardtop w/ a Revell '67 GTX donor chassis Revell 1962 Plymoth Fury 4Dr HT, a '62 Dodge Dart 2Dr HT, all fitted with the more accurate '64 Mopar chassis and the '62 Lancer GT 2 JoHan '62 Plymouth Fury convertibles w/ Lindberg '64 Mopar donor chassis A JoHan '62 Dodge Dart convertible also with the more accurate Lindberg '64 Mopar donor chassis A JoHan '64 Cadillac DeVille with a modified Monogram '59 Eldorado chassis and accurate scratchbuilt front and rear suspension The list doesn't include three Dragon and four RFM Tiger I's, an RFM Sturmtiger w/full interior, two Meng Kingtigers w/ full interiors, a Meng Jagdpanther G1, also with full interior, a Modelcollect 1/72 B-52G Early type BUFF, an AMtech 1/72 EC-135N ARIA/ ALOTS "Snoopy", a Valom 1/72 RB-57F, a Valom 1/72 RB-45C Tornado, Airfix and Classic Airframes 1/48 B-57B Canberras completed during the past two years. I'm also working on converting a RoG 1/35 Schnellboot S-100 into an RC craft with fully functioning Lurssen Effect rudder controls. That's 26 models, plus the WIPs, in two years. Like I said, I'm not able to post pics; but, I've been pretty busy. As you can see. I'm not a one-trick pony who only builds model cars. I like to break up the monotony by delving into other genres. Doing so improves one's skills in other ares of this hobby. Say, why don't you ask the same question of the guys who regularly post pics of the multiple kits they buy at least 3-4 times a month? With the amount of items they show in the pics, they could open their own hobby shops. Their WIPs and completed models are pretty much MIA. Aren't you in the least bit interested if they fall into the Collyer Brothers accumulator or model builder categories? Oh, here's a model I posted in "Others" in "Under Glass before I was no longer unable to d/l photos to my laptop. Not a car; but, a model nonetheless.

For a change?!? I don't obtain kits of any type with the intention of stockpiling them in a closet. Don't assume because I don't post WIPs or finished projects that this infers I don't build.

Design-wise, Ford, among the Big Three, cornered the market on stodgy until the introduction of the Mustang.

Pull the needle out and hold it over an open flame for about 10-20 seconds. That will burn out any dried glue. I've done the same to unclog the needle on Testors Liquid Cement.

Picked up this minty and complete Revell 1962 Imperial Crown for what amounts to chump change ($69.99 ) Four Revell '62 Mopars down and two to go (Valiant v-200 and Chrysler Newport convertible) to complete the series.

My laptop was out last night due to a 0xc0000022 error (corrupt file(s)) after a Win 10 update. It took me six hours to repair it.

Chalk it up to the Lemming Effect, Bill.

Bro, that's not even a real word. Burroughs was high when he wrote Naked Lunch. You're not getting any points with that if we play Scrabble.

What are you saying?????

Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." It's a matter of the same shtick regurgitated by the same person using three different registered accounts yet nobody picks up on it. The same mistakes are being made by anyone replying with the same wasted advice which they posted in the other identical thread authored by the very same person using a different account. You're getting your chain yanked. Either you, in the general context, don't get it; or, you don't mind.

Who do you think you're replying to?

I've never had that problem.

When did you decide to move from Hackensack? Didn't like White Manna sliders?

I'm being absolutely Frank from Hackensack, formerly of SW Oklahoma.
