Well this coming along like a house a fire---oops wrong department?
-
uh, WOW. anything more is just redundant ? -
absmiami Really great "how it is done" build. I may not be able to reproduce your fine scratch building technics but seeing it done makes me think I should at least give some of them a try.
-
To Bad, But I put on my mask so I could safely read the rest of the posts ?
-
And the goodness continues....

Look I understand the "long Build" (as I look around the room to where me far too many "partials" are stashed). The most important thing is that you will "get er done" and the world will be amazed/ awed/ interested/ not really give a rusty fig, But You will be glad and so will I, as I dream of finishing something, someday too.

Of course you'd use glass ? Thank heavens I don't have a jealous bone in my body--any more. ? Seriously though, Very good looking on all you have done .

Paint Strippers - What to Use?
BERT100 replied to pbj59's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yes it will, but do not expect " instantaneous" results, it works slowly. But the good side of that is, it will not destroy your plastic either. I have had old enamel on a old Pyro kit take 3-4 days. -
What a treat to watch you create this gem. Then at last, you prove the oft' told rumor about the "Unicorn Ferrari" Well Done Sir.

Late to the revieal-again-sigh. What a classic old scool model. Well Done. Great color, stying up grades, but keeping the flavor of the good ol' days. one model, one tube of Testers, one can of paint and TA-TA-DA!, Magic right there on your modeling desk.

That looks great. Your scratch building payed off big time and yer right the tires look so much better. -
What a pleasure to see the final result. Thank you for sharing both the WIP and this wrap up. ?
-
Impressive skill and perseverance. It is all paying off now. ? well done.
-
89AKurt Thats a heck of a story thanks for sharing, incredible string of events. Brudda you seem to have gotten control of this one at the first go----OK the paint, but heck anybody can have "those kinda days", nice recovery. ?
-
Some really quality modelin' going on here. I too really like your original inspiration custom. If you haven't seen the original designers info here's a link https://www.kaucherkustoms.com/custom-car-projects/54-ford/ to his project. The guy is quite a talent.
-
Some very classic ideas with a modern flare. ?
-
Yeah, but heck you gotta wait for Santa anyway, so's might as well use the time "constructively" ?
-
Yeah, but is it legal ? ? Seriously looks like a good project to get be creative on. ?
-
OHHH, pretty car..
-
Sorry about the repaint, as well. But at least this way you will have the fun of masking and painting the stripes to look forward to.?
-
Very nice bit of work going on there. I like how you handled the "cockpit" showing the various surface textures.
-
Regardless of how you finish this beauty, it is a mind blowing example of kit and scratch building combined. The added details and equipment is bringing it over the top. Oh, and I know you're going to check the oil before you set out on your ski trip?
-
Gottta say this is so great to see, not only what you are adding/building but to see How you do what you do. Great save on the turn signals too.

Ahh, the sound still haunts my memory. I was working for a company and all our sales cars were Bugs. Mostly late 70's early 80's. Differant ones would be rotated in every so often. So I got to learn the "automatic-ish" transmission. . Lots of zippy going around and lots of fun (never told my boss that though). The job of work you are doing on this is impressive, Am enjoying the experience of seeing your build come together.
