Sorry Jim, this is a busy weekend and I won't be able to make it.

Sand down in five or six spots to the primer coat and let the lye attack the primer. After a few days the paint should slough off like a snake skin.

Mike, this really is a treat to watch. Keep it goin'. More work on the '49 interior (pics tonight). It is fighting me on every turn. Everything I do ends with a screw up and has to be done twice. I have to repaint the rear package shelf and working on my eyeball shift knob. I added photo etched door handles and window cranks with some model master clear only for it to yellow on the flat white door panels. This will most likely not end up being taken to any future contests. I'll just be happy when it's done.

Outstanding!

Looking at the wheels in the flesh, they don't look as bad as I thought. Maybe with the kit chrome stripped and some Alclad, they might be very nice. So it looks like the only real disappointment is the lack of drag wheels.

Yep, that's the right thing to do. If the body was rendered off another '32 kit you might be disappointed.

I'd give a lot to see some decent pics.

Rum barrel accounted for.

Yep, I'd love to have a pair Rich, you have mail. Thanks for the comments guys.

This, boys and girls, is what happens when a Dodge Challenger and an AMC Pacer mate. I'm not sure I like this Bruce, but you sure are good at what you do.

Very cool Jim. I don't think the wheels/tires are doing this build any favors but the rest looks great.

I have always found chops on the 30's cars so very difficult to pull off well because of all the raised body lines around the window frames. It's really hard to get in there with sanding sticks and get the job done right. I think you did an admirable job.

Paul that looks fantastic. Easily the best vinyl top I've seen in scale.

Can someone please tell us a bit about the carb and aircleaner that comes with this kit?

Way to go. Ordering from the source is the best way to get BMF.

Bill, you are really gonna have to knock the rest of that model out of the park to make it worthy of that engine.

Probably not what you are thinking about. :lol:

Okay. If you guys say so.

Ram glad you like it. If the beer steins look in scale then im certainly interested. Can you shoot me a pic?

I dont think so Ace. It looks like a flat plate with three smaller bezzles poking out. The only one that looks like it might be a lamp is the center. Ill look at them again. I'm going to use the stock units anyway as I've always thought they were great, but I thought I might use the custom ones on another build if I could figure out how they are supposed to look.

So the heads are different. Kinda odd that. So what kit would have the correct valve covers?

Yep. Its a y-block. The Latham is an aftermarket item and were not terribly popular according to my dad.

Anyone know what these "custom" tail lights are supposed to represent? They don't look familiar to me.
