Great looking builds!!!!

Well, I am building a 49 Ford and wanted the bumper guards removed. After working on them and getting them to look good I used BMF on them. They looked good but not right. I bit the bullet and purchased some Revell Chrome. I considered the plating cost and how much I could get plated for $35 and decided to try it out. Well, I am very happy with the results and the can should go a long way. The bumper was primered with black primer and wet sanded with 3000 grit, cleaned with dawn and painted. Quick mist coats and when it was all smooth, stopped. Gonna let it set for quite awhile til I finish other projects. Here is one of the bumpers, other than a small area where I worked on it, it came out great IMO. You can even see my hands holding the camera about a foot away.

Great save!!!!! Love it!

That came out beautifully!

60's period custom vibe to this! I like it.

Looks good!!!

Very Cool!!!!!

What Mark said. Wonderful kit overall.

If you are wanting the early flathead with the coolant hoses in the center of the cylinder head, the Revell 40 Ford Street rod has a good one and is 1/25 scale.

Looks to be perfect other than accessories, but that is easily swapped out. THANKS

Okay, I am getting ready to start on the 36 Plymouth modified and the BBC has to go. What 1/25 kits have the nicest 383/440? And does any kit have a good single plane intake for one of these engines? My '37 Chevy has a Chevy, my '40 Ford has Ford so my Mopar needs a Mopar....

Please no!!!!!!! My wallet could not handle it!!!

Thanks everyone I have been mixing by volume and probably rushing the mix fearing setting up while pouring. I mixed a batch longer than before and seemed good this time.

I'll message you after I look for the promo wheels.

These? They are from the old Advent 59 retractable. I may have a set of 59 Wheels from a promo.

Well, it has not been opened for long, a month with periodic use. Mix is to be 1:1 equal mix. about 3 times I have had casts stay soft. Dry but soft and pliable. Seems all is done right otherwise. Maybe I need to mix longer?

They are nice. When I saw he was discontinuing them I bought a few sets. Now I have more 53 Ford kits and luckily have a set leftover for a pattern or maybe try to cast the door panels. When he made wheels I bought a lot!!! Still have a sandwich bag full!!! Ed makes some wonderful stuff and I try to buy as much as I can.

Which part is the hardener? "A" (brownish color) or "B" (yellowish clear)? I have mixed 1:1 and have had a few casts remain pliable and think I need to add a tad more hardener. Thanks!

Glad I could help.... Glad it came out good too!

The Mustang II and Ranger are incorrect. They are 2.8 and 4.0, totally different from the 3.8 in the Mustang. The Revell 92 Cougar has a 5.0 V8. Thunderbird Super Coupe would have the correct engine without the supercharger

I'd have been in on them also. I almost bought a JoHan Mercedes today but passed. It was $10

Is this the Fleetline we basically chopped thru the messenger? LOL!!! Came out really good!!! I like that grill you modified for it!

Great job!!!!! Wow!

That's as sweet as pie!

Came out great!! I have 2 and both have broken C-pillars on the drivers side. They are shelved for now but yours really gets me wanting to finish one. I love the "plain Jane" looks of it!
