Still another possibility.

Looks like a Ford hood emblem.

Your ideas are just too simple (AFTER you show it to me, and after I say “Why didn’t I think of that?”). Great stuff, as usual. Thank you, Greg.

Lots to like there. VERY clean chrome trim, decals, and paint. Even Nationals event participation decals. Engine compartment is spot on. You even put windows on one side. I admit I am partial to NHRA Stockers, but, even so, this model is above average in all respects. Great job.

It is manufactured by Fusionfirm in a larger container known as liquid chrome. There is no varnish included. This version is designed for airbrush use with no thinner added. Now, the bad news: it is slightly higher in price ($13-14); and is not currently available (sold out on Amazon).

I like a toothpick with the sharp end cut off with some fun tac molded on to apply windows and small stuff. You can shape the funtac to fit the part.

I have been considering one like this. I am sure there are differing qualities and limitations to this type, but, perhaps another tool in the arsenal.

Thanks. It was a fun and interesting build.

Thanks, Tony. I have a long ways to go. Got the back door finished last night.

Just got the amt twomuch kit in and it’s on my (long) list to build like Gordon Collett.

Almost forgot. After deepening the groove with the saw, a final pass with the umm-usa scriber widens the groove.

Ha ha. Not much actual sanding and actual pollution done so far. I have a “tool” to help in that respect. I will show it to you later.

Had a few minutes today. Used the Dspiae tape for alignment and protection scribing. The 4mm thickness anllowed me to alight with the existing scribed line of the 2 door and, at the same time, gave me a pattern for the left side of the tape for the 4 door. Over the years I have accumulated various scribing tools, but very little experience with resin. I tried all of them. The Trumpeter tool and the rather simple looking umm-USA one worked the best starting the scribed line, while the jlc saw (with, and without, the handle) was the final “scribe”. Most scribers deepen the groove depth, but also raise the edges. The saw deepens, but also removes the material more completely than scribers.

I am back on this one. This build is definitely going to be a learning experience. I did some 2 door and 4 door measuring from the internet pictures. I measured from the edge of the front door to the beginning of the rear chrome trim on the back glass. I measured the pictures on my iPad. On the 2 door cars, the door length is 60% of the total length. On the 4 door cars, the length is 53% of the total.

Thanks, Carl. Have a good day.
