Absolutely beautiful looking ‘Cuda there Nick.👍😎

Looking good James.👍 You need some panel line accent in those door seams though.

Sweet looking ‘53 there Bob!👍😎

The outfits that certify these chains, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has been around since 1862, and Lloyds Register (LR) was founded in 1760. I too wonder how they were made back in the 1700’s? They certainly weren’t this massive, but they also didn’t have any hydraulic equipment then either. https://www.solarnavigator.net/anchor_chain.htm

Jeez…if only there was some way to modify this darn plastic stuff….🙄

Heed the advice of your elders is not really a thing anymore.

Sorry to hear about your roadster woes Jim.😳 I can’t recall what I last used the Tamiya clear on? I believe it is quite hot also.

I like any and all Mr. Hobby and Mr. Color products I’ve used.🙂 The UV Cut clear is a little hotter so I only use it over lacquer. The stuff in the green can is safe over anything and goes down real nice. Edit: And it says on the UV can NOT to use it over decals, but I recall doing a test with a decal on a spoon and it didn’t wreck it….so test if you decide to use it.

Awesome tube work there Timothy! Engine is looking good too.😎

Check out Steven’s wheel arch foiling tutorial. That method works very well. Here is a link to a simple tool I made that helps also.

There are no rails to keep you going in one direction in this hobby.🙂

Went down a rabbit hole and found this. Apparently the USS Gerald R Ford has a chain that is 1440 feet long.🤯

Well I sanded out the marks with some 3M #3000 pads and shot some Mr. Hobby UV Cut clear over it.

Not on the road and not today, but I saw this buggy at the heavy horse show last week in my hometown. Quite the unit…pneumatic tires and four wheel disc brakes.😎 while there I may have discovered a solution to my Squirrel problem.

That’ll buff out.😬

Make sure you get the “New Improved Chrome”. None of the other versions (Chrome, Super Brite Chrome, etc) are as good and some are not useable at all.

I’m loving the metal work you are doing Daniel!😎

Excellent work so far Mark! THIS is where the fun is.😎

Best case scenario in my mind involves aliens.😜

Cool! It looks like a slightly obese MX-5. Nice work blending the halves.😎

Thank you all folks!🙂 I narrowed the front suspension assembly from a Revell ‘37 Ford, and after a bit of fiddling around managed to get the frame rails tentatively mounted somewhat symmetrically. I assembled the suspension with PVA a couple of weeks ago hoping it would be solid enough to get a stance mock-up to see where I’m at. One side let loose so l’ll touch it up and let it dry well again.

I’m liking the rear package shelf…great idea! I think the grill is fine too if you could set it back some?🤔

Word on the street is a valuable tool for law enforcement.

My first car was a 1967 Falcon with the six banger. THAT is no Falcon in my mind.🧐

The wife and I have been “camping” in our 5th wheel at the park in my hometown for the last 12 days. The first two days were nice, although a bit smokey.😬 It has rained every day since.🤬 To make matters worse, the wi-fi has been down for most of the time too. We have the site booked for three more nights, but I think we will head home tomorrow.😕 I hope they are at least getting some of this rain where the fires are.
