I have a beater build in the works and wanting to use flat paint for a faded look,I can get flat black and maybe white but looking for other flat colors and have not found any yet. Can get satin but wanting flat.

I am thinking about not painting it and just add some detail to the interior to match the color the body is molded in,it is missing half of the stock engine parts so that is why I am going to try to find the hopped up flathead from the 70s version.

If I can not find a engine from the 70s and newer kits I do have the Olds engine from the early Monogram 32 Ford coupe kit.

This arrived in the mail today.

Picked up unbuilt mid 60s kit and it's going to get built,it was missing the optional parts so I am going to get some parts from the 70s and later kits. Most likely will be built as a stock looking convertible but with a hot engine under the hood.

Picked up the early 60s Monogram 36 Ford kit off eBay today,it's unbuilt and open and probably missing parts but will use parts off the later kits to build. I bought it hoping there will be some parts I could use on the 34 unbuilt kit that I want to use only all 60s on it.

Something came up and could not use the tires I had originally planned on using and should be done soon.

It's nice until the battery catches fire then it's time to burn to the ground,the fire departments need to invest in equipment that will but out battery fires much quicker.

Went in the hobby shop and got one can of Testors spray paint and two small bottles of brush paint and was a little over 16 dollars with tax,joked with the owner that those days of a 35 cent bottle of paint are long gone.

Found a can of Testors dark blue and it looks close.

It was given to me so I am going to do something with it,front suspension was missing and found what looks to be a Camaro front suspension I had in the parts bin and going to use the optional 413 from the 49 Merc. Removed the running boards and do have the tail lights and smoother optional bumpers coming off Ebay and debating on grabbing a better interior. Its going to be built as a work in progress with primered and other color body parts.

Yes I have thought about that.

The cab came loose so I can take it to the paint store and see what they can do.

This model has been painted back in the 60s and had a flatbed on it,I found a bed and would like to find a blue that will closely match and not really wanting to do a repaint since it was done very nicely.

After surviving all these years I did not have the heart to take it apart so the other project will have to wait.

Since its slightly larger it could be used as a 59 to 64 371 or 394,those engines were slightly larger then the 49 to 58s so now thinking on what I can put it in and thanks for the info.

I noticed it seemed a little big and thought it could be from Monogram.

Making some progress.

I originally planned on using the rims and hub caps on another project but its too mice to take apart,its a original 64 version and thought it came in this blue but after so research found it did not and looked it over more closely.and yes its been painted. Was hoping to find a original bed but had this one from a 80s? version so it will go on,will sand the louvers off the tailgate and find some car tail lights. Now to find a match for the blue.

Got it it at at a model show yesterday and trying to find out who made it and how old it is. Would like to use it in a project using all vintage parts.

Having second thoughts about taking this one apart,might try to find a blue bed and leave it alone and look for another set of rims.

Just leaving the show and found a bunch of parts I could use and now on to the junkyard for 65 Galaxie parts.

Yes it does have black seats.

Picked this up today and do not remember ever seeing a small rear window Beatle before,the front suspension has been glued in wrong and broken and is there a kit I could use for the front suspension and other missing parts.

I have a unbuilt Monogram 34 Ford coupe/convertible kit that I want to build as a late 40s style hotrod and use all mid 60s parts,picked up a 40 p/u from that era that will donate the rims and hub caps and now to find a hopped up flathead from that era and it will start. The 40 p/u will not be destroyed and would like to find all unused parts but used parts will have to do.
