  1. Ok, Thanks. I'll give it a try next time I change out my bucket
  2. Steve. thanks, Yeah, I was kidding about the acetone. i did that to a '49 Ford body. Kept it as a reminder of what acetone does. I prefer lacquer myself because of the drying time. I'm going to use tamyia Primer to seal the body, and it doesn't seem to be as thick as other primers. Going to take my time and paint it when i get ready and feel like it. PS. Whats the cost of super clean and where do you get it?
  3. The one on the box
  4. Ok. Dumped it in the "Purple Pond", (Purple Power cleaner), over night. Going to use a q-tip and lacquer thinner to clear it up the rest of the way. Sand it down, primer it, scuff the primer and try painting it again! Going with "Plum Crazy" from Galaxy paint. See what happens! (But not right now)
  5. I use only Tamiya rattle can primer. Regular primer is too thick for me
  6. Ok made new rocker panel on right side. Re-enforce rockers on both sides, (will do this first on all models I open the doors on from now on). And I glued the windshield post with some "Extreme Power" glue, "Thick" . Will let this dry a couple of days and then try to sand it to right shape. If that doesn't work, I'll have to re-enforce it with stock and work around the new thickness of the plastic in that area.
  7. Well, BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! Started to work on this one again but the right rocker panel is gone and the right windshield post is broke. Gotta fix those first!
  8. Agreed. Going to try on the T-bird to see how it works
  9. Well, got the door jams done and hinged the hood. Put it aside for now, irritating me. Move on to #3 '69 SC/Rambler
  10. Going to start my first NASCAR kit in 20 or 30 years. This was given to me, so here goes Ray! This is a start
  11. Nope, dulled out and got rough. Decided that maybe there was too much stripping and repainting so I bought a new 1970 Challenger to paint. This time instead of decanted Testor's Plum Crazy enamel I went with Gravity lacquer . Nope , same thing! What is going on??? Stripping them both down again and going to retry! One on the left is Testor's decanted enamel and one on right is Gravity lacquer . Any ideas? Oh, both had two coats of clear enamel from a rattle can. Never had this problem before.
  12. Ok. What went wrong? The paint turns dull and rough. The one on the left is decanted Testors enamel, the one on the right is lacquer. Both went on good. Humidity?
  13. Do they come with instructions? I don't have a clue how to use that
  14. Working on door jams
  15. Anybody know how to make an interior look like crush velvet?
  16. Waiting to see the finish product!
  17. AND, you need to prime over it a bunch. and a good bath. It is a last resort but will work
  18. The question was what to use to get the paint off. I agree Acetone is the last resort, BUR, it will remove the paint. Yes, you're going to have to do some minor putty work and alot of sanding but it will work
  19. Acetone will take anything off! Just don't soak it in acetone. It will desolve plastic! BUT on a rag you can wipe anything off!
  20. OK, this is my second time at "Flocking". Don't think it looks too bad. The big spot the drivers side will be covered by the driver's seat. I'll get better. Heard that "embossing powder" works better. Opinions?
  21. Looks great! "Super" job! Everybody loves Superbirds, even us Ford peeps
  22. Well, Going to use some Ken's Fuzzy Fur for the carpet. Decided to use the black. Be too much "Red" with the Red or Pink
  23. LOL. Of course I had to break one in half to learn...
  24. I put plastic stock as shown in pictures to re-enforce the rockers AND it fills the gap between the frame and body
  25. Well, messed up the paint ...again on the #1, 1970 Challenger,so, put it aside for awhile. Going to work on #2, 1962 Thunderbird for awhile. picture is as far as I gotten so far.
