Nice work and tastfully done.

And all this time I've been throwing them away!

I still use use the testers tube glue along with whatever liquid glue is cheapest at the hobby shop, Bob Smith Industries CA, cheap store brand gel CA, and testers canopy glue.

John, the 67 mopars had no side marker lights, in 68 they had round marker lights, in 69 they had the rectangular marker lights. I believe, and I could be wrong, that the marker lights were federally mandated for the 68 model year. with the 67 to 69 barracudas there are also miner differances in the tailights, and grills, along with a peak starting between the grills and continuing along the center of the hood on the 69 that is not on the 67 and 68.

Looks great!

Nice, I really like the engine and master cylinder. And the alternator is great also.

Really nice.

Nice job, I like it.

Nice, I love the silver highlights.

Neat, I like it.

This was the Malco Gasser kit, I made this as a nod to my youngest son, he picked the kit and the color and I added his name as the driver. One of the sponsors is the machine shop from a van I did with my other sons name (WIP for the van is here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/104920-dodge-a100-machine-shop-van/ ) Mostly box stock except the Parts by Parks magneto, some fuel lines, and homemade decals. Thanks for looking.

Looks cool.

I started this last year and finely got around to finishing it yesterday. It started out as the Superstones Ford, I scratch built the bed and used the winch and end of the boom from the 77 GMC Wrecker along with reworking the front bumper. The grill and distributor are from Morgan Automotive Detail and were perfect, no flash at all. This was my first attempt at making decals. This is a replica of my Dads tow truck, I learned how to drive in this truck. I modified the transfer case and made a gear box for the PTO, and added map books from the area the truck worked. The WIP is here. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/99935-1973-f-350-tow-truck/ Thanks for looking.

Time management is only one of the skills you start to develop in this hobby. It's helpful to go outside the instructions so you can build sub assemblies and let them dry while building or painting others. If you follow the instruction sheet you'll spend a lot of time watching things dry. I try to have 2 projects going at any given time so when I get to a stopping point on one I can move to another but I don't like to have more than 2 projects or I get lost in what I'm doing. I think I have my wife interested in building her first kit so I'm eager to show her your progress.

Nice, I like it.

Looks good.

Looks great and I really like the second shot that matches the art.

Looks great and I really like the color.

This is a kit I'm on the fence about but this just might win me over, very nice job.

The couch is more comfortable anyway.

Nice!

Looks really good.

It could be acetic acid, at work I just a contractor finish a chemical cleaning of some pipes and they use citric acid so I may have had that on my mind.

Welcome to the forum, You live near 2 of my favorite roads in the world, 250 and 33 heading out to Elkins. Good luck with the transmission.

From https://www.michtoy.com/item-MSI-12-Microscale__Micro_Liquid_Decal_Film.html "Everyone Should Have Micro Liquid Decal Film Who Models And Uses Decals. Especially If You Have Been At It For Some Time. The Typical Decal Scrap Box Is Not The Best Place To Store Decals. Exposed To Air, Sunlight, And Moisture, Great Swings Of Temperature Or General Abuse, And Decals Will Go Bad. Or Maybe You Just Always Had Trouble Putting On Thin Stripes. Micro Liquid Decal Film Solves All Of Those Problems And Makes A Decal Which For Whatever Reason Is Bad, Work Again Just Like New Almost Immediately. Of Course If You Have Already Put It In Water It Is Too Late. So If You Have Some Old Decals You Really Have To Use, Coat Them With Micro Liquid Decal Film To Be Sure. Or If There Is Any Indication That You Might Have A Problem, Don't Take A Chance, You Can Solve The Problem On The Spot. Simply Take A Small Brush And Coat The Image On The Decal You Want To Use. Allow To Dry For 20 Minutes. Apply The Decal As Usual. It's That Simple." So it looks like the product you're using is meant to be applied to old decals to make them usable. The film you are seeing is meant to protect the decal. What I think you are trying to use is a decal setting solution such as Microsol http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MD&Product_Code=MI-2&Category_Code=FINPROD any of the others. I currently have a bottle of Testers decal setting solution and the ingredients are listed as citric acid so you are probably correct although I imagine the ph level would be the important thing to get right.
