All of the advice given here is very much appreciated. I will try the TSP/ Scotchbrite method as soon as I can. The Adhesion promoter is a bit on the Pricey side for me right currently. I want to hold off on that Extreme for now. Gabriel

Agreed Harry those guys can really sing.

Thats the same Update. I got from my Hobby Shop Today.

Too Cool

Typically Duplicolor Primer is what I use exclusively. This time I was experimenting trying to get a better bite into the resin. Joseph, I did rinse well after the dish soap. I did think about scrubbing the parts with some Tide. I have heard about using Comet though. Not to get off of the subject. There are a few different resins that I have seen recently, it is becoming difficult to know exactly what to do with them, in terms of prep, and what they are made of. I recieved some resin door panels, and seats from Ed Fluck. Beautiful work, they looked like you could just paint them on the spot.I also recieved a Body from Bandit Resins Very good casting. I dont much care for the resin, although its white, and odorless it appears softer, and more flexible. That is almost like Styrene plastic VS Bakelite.

Ok my familiarity with resin is limited, I have two projects both resin. I have soaked the bodies in Wesleys Bleche white for 24 hours, washed them with dawn dish soap. Used a self etching primer from Rust Oleum. now the primer is peeling from my bumpers. I tape tested the other parts they seem ok the primer is soft though. What could be the problem? Should I strip the primer off?

Chris I have a pack of those casters if you want them to keep going on this. You can have them until your order comes in.

How long is the Cure time for the Wicked or Auto Air paints?

Very Nice work. Can we get a Close up picture of the Air cleaner?

That was Cool thanks Lonewolf01

I need to locate reference information on 1965 Pontiac Tempest interior color.for the dark teal body colored wagon.

I got mine at the Dollhouse and Toy Company it's in North Scottsdale at the Promenade. The product is from Houseworks Dollhouse supply of Atlanta, Ga. #1104 they have a website just look under the Hardware section.

Chris, There is a Doll House supply store in Scottsdale, that carries a line of Caster wheels made out of brass. In case you want to make the body stand roll.

Excellent. It only needs, a hat with a Beer mounted on each side, and a straw.

My only dislike, was it looked a little Heavy Handed on the Drivers Door side front. The rest is fantastic.

Oh Now your just showing Off!

Mine Arrived today as well. Very nice!

Out of the Ballpark again

I hope they are as nice as the Box Art!

Very Cool Jonathan.

I have never built one. I have a few of them. I have seen them looking killer, when they are built. I have not heard anything bad, or what difficulties the kit has.

No Dan it was Suzanne

My LHS is taking preorder's already. They gave me a two week timeframe.

Bill I edited the title. The speedster wheels are molded to the tires. 1960's engineering.
