At the cemetery,

Very cool Cougar! Looks like a custom metal flake paint job to me! I like it!! I had been wondering how the Shimmer paint would look on a scale model.

I've heard a lot about the warped hoods on these kits. I guess I got lucky....the '69 I built fit just about right: I have the '70, '71' and '72, but I haven't checked them to see if I have warped hoods in those boxes.

Great stuff, here! The oldest build I still have is this one: I built it in early 1985 from the Jo-Han kit. i didn't paint the body on this one. The next one was built right around the same time: Jo-Han 1968 Cadillac convertible. First built as a factory stock in early '85. In '87, it suffered a slam from about five feet to the floor by an irate so-called better half. I could find all the broken stock parts, so I rebuilt it as this custom, complete with a Ford 429! I still have this Caddy, but not the one who inflicted the damage! These are fairly dusty, and I'm thinking about rebuilding them in the near future. I had others from the sixties, but due to unforeseen circumstances around 1980, those are long gone.

Some great grabs guys!! I believe I'd leave the pewter piece as-is...and maybe fix a separate special spot to display it.

And, then the

Very neat foil work. Tedious stuff!

That might be an interesting look.

Thanks, John!

I got this one from eBay: It had this thick yellow paint, complete with a "bubble" finish: It spent two weeks in a brake fluid bath, and then started to peel off: It came out like this: These two pics are before I did the final clean up on the body and hood. I now use Super Clean, but in years past I used brake fluid and never had a problem with the plastic taking primer and paint afterwards.

too much info

Thanks for the tips! We have a glass shop about 3 miles from home.

It's a 1940 custom Mercury called 'Roadstar'.

Nice ponies!!

Ok, got it. I'll see if I can figure out which one that would be.

I certainly respect your position on these wheels. If ya come across any, let me know. I never knew about these wheels back in the day. When Kelsey produced them, I was 14 years old, and thought Magnum 500 wheels were the best (still do, for the most part). In my opinion, these Stripper wheels should have been offered as factory optional. They look as good as a lot of the factory stuff out today.

Here they are in resin, folks: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264038237039

Every time I look at these wheels, I like 'em more than the last time I looked!
