Love it!

Outstanding!

No it wasn't partially used foil...I removed it from the package and used the portion that you see missing. I placed those 2 together for the shot AFTER I used it. I wouldn't go making blind statements based on assumptions, Pete.

I want to say it’s like sticky Mylar. Like those Mylar balloons…definitely plastic, not metal like BMF is.

Has anybody used this? has a great mirror finish but be careful…it’ll pull the paint off when you remove excess. I’ll never complain about BMF not sticking very well. This is the other extreme!

Thanks. Still debating on the engine...I was thinking Texas3DCustom's Shelby GT350 5.2L but I think it will be too big and not really interested in hacking up the chassis any further than I have already so I am leaning towards the Roush engine used in the Foose Ford Pickup. I dunno...kinda making this up as I go

That was tires sitting under the body. finally got some color on it…Splash Paint “Soul Red Crystal” and the interior is done…

Don't give up on it...it'll be a cool custom truck. Go for it!

I agree…part of the reason I like doing customs, all you have to please is yourself! Your own imagination and creativity leads the way. Who cares if it’s correct as long as it’s cool!

Also posted in another thread... Body (while still in primer) ironed out and now the chassis... I'll shift gears (pardon the pun) to the engine and interior.

Well...it's been a bit since an update... Body has finally been hashed out so I turned my sights onto the chassis. The T-bird is an old school kit and the chassis left little to be desired as it was molded as one solid thick piece. I originally had thoughts of using a Revell GT-350 chassis and running gear. After a little work trying to make that all work...I aborted those thoughts. After copious amounts of work...I opted to just stick with the original chassis...but with some alterations... I cut out all of the superfluous chassis and tried to give the illusion that the rear end is actually somewhat feasible. I'm still debating if I want to take the time and effort to remove all of the plastic under the leaf springs or not. I plan to make my own driveshaft for it and the "floating" trans cross-member needs to be attached to the chassis yet. I also couldn't wait to see how the "Z-Wheelz" would look underneath so here is a mock-up minus the front lower valance.... wha-cha' think? All comments are welcome, as always!

yep...I do the same thing

So first shot of primer with lots of clean-up, body repair and sanding to go but I needed to see if this was headed in the right direction or not. So far, I like it and glad I changed the roofline. I’ll let it dry a couple of days before I mess with it. I opted for the kit supplied custom hood. Just something about it that I liked better than the stock one with chrome “V” in it. Comments are welcome!!!!

got it...it's a wax bead pick

So what is that handy little gadget?
