This is a very cool project. Yes, you need to finish it. Nice job, so far

Im going to second (or third) ? the use of the M.A.D. distributors. Like Steven, Im all about buying something that is better than I could/or have the time to make

you get glue on the windshield, every build

Nice work! Nice clean build

Some nice builds, Steve. I really like the woodie

A great collection. I really like the Deuce Sedan!

You did well this year. Some really amazing work!

Thats quite the collection. And a nice variety of builds. Seems you had a good year

Thanks Bob. Just to tie this up. While I dont really know what happened, but I did fix it. I cleaned out the spots the best I could. Then a couple times a day, I dabbed a spot of primer into each circle, until it was just proud of the surrounding paint. Sanded that down with some wet/dry 200 grit. Then resprayed. And this time, no issue. Thank you to all that replied Jeff

@Bob T- About a day. I tried to never rush this. Every different color of paint and primer were always at least a day apart, with trips to the dehydrator for every color. @Bob S- Thats why I put things in the dehydrator, but I still got surprised. ? @Mark- Thanks Mark, Ill keep that in mind

@Bob- I agree is seems like the putty is the issue. Its just weird that it chose to show up after so much time and under so much paint @Mark-No, I didnt put the body in the dehydrator when doing the putty. Tamiya putty dries so fast I didnt feel the need to

Thanks for the replies. @Bob- The depression wasnt that deep, more of a low spot. I didnt see it in the plastic but saw it when I block sanded the primer. I would guess is was maybe a 1/64" deep Since the paint bubbled all the way to the primer, I did think that maybe it was the putty. It went in the dehydrator for at least 3 hours after every coat of paint, @95 degrees. And there was a full day between every coat of paint @Karl-Thanks Karl. I will try the CA trick @Mark-I know Tamiya paint drys pretty quick. I put all paint in there regardless of type. I just get a little "nervous" handling freshly painted parts, especially the last color coats @Mike- Ive never tried spot putty and since Ive never had an issue with Tamiya putty, never thought to try it. But Ive seen other builders also like it, so maybe its time I give it a try @Skip-Your right Skip, it was ready to sand after a couple of hours...sand the bubbles off..? If it was the putty, why did it wait until 8 coats of paint were applied? I certainly would understand if it showed up in the first coats Thanks to all of you for taking the time to reply and make suggestions

Im working on a 64 Dodge 330. Laid on the last coats of paint today, put it in the dehydrator and these 2 bubbles were there when I took it out. The roof has putty in that area (quarter size low spot), but it never showed any problems with primer or paint. I used Tamiya putty, primer and paint. It has 2 coats of TS-13 black, 3 coats of TS-85 Mica red and 3 coats of TS-95 Metallic Red. It always went in the dehydrator after every color. There never was any indication of paint problems. I poked at the bubbles and they were hollow, and went all the way to the putty Ive never seen anything like this. Anybody have any idea of what happened? Thanks

I think you made the right choice, to build it instead of stealing the engine. Great build, Scott!

Nice build, Bob. Interesting tail lights, I like "em

Thats the stuff.?

I use regular white glue, sometimes called PVA glue. Ive been using it for years

Thanks for all the replies and ideas. @ Trevor -What you went through was kinda what I saw happening. Unfortunately, I only have 1 windshield to work with. But you did have some nice results @Bill- Thanks for the link. I read this through and I might try it just to learn something and maybe Ill get a windshield out of it @David- This is another thought I had as a possibility. I just wasnt sure it is clear enough or had enough rigidity. But its on my list to try. @Steven - What is "Lay Film" and where would I find some? This sounds like a good way to go about this. Thanks again for all the options. I think sanding will be my last resort. But I have enough options to keep me busy for a while. ?

A great color choice on a great build. Love those GTO's

Wow! Nice job on, what I think , is an underrated car. Very clean

I have been working on the Lindberg 64 Dodge 330. The windshield is way,way to thick. And it is really distorted. (Actually all the glass is bad but the windshield is worse) Anybody have a technique to thin the glass? Yes, I know I could be making a new one from thin Evergreen or something similar. But I'd like to use the stock glass but also maybe learn something new. Thanks Jeff

I always thought the real car was so cool. You have a good start on this. I;ll be keeping an eye on your build. Good luck!

Mine showed up today in Weedsport, NY

This is really nice. Great stance. Good job on this!

Great job on your build. That color is really great!!
