Now, on to my nemesis…paint work. The black primer I used went on horribly.? It did sand down nicely though. Then the Premier enamel that I decanted and airbrushed didn’t go down too smoothly either. I should have thinned it some with LT.?‍♂️ After a few days in the dehydrator, it sanded out nicely too with 1500, but I went through on the back edge where I missed the faint mould seam.? I sprayed another coat over the whole thing and it’s in the dehydrator.

Since I upgraded to disc brakes all round, I had to do something about the old manual master cylinder.? So I scratch built a power booster and adapter and used a resin MC. Got the rest of the interior assembled too.

Thanks Joe!

Terrific work Dennis! ? I really like the engine, and the body modifications! Interior looks great too.?

Amazing work you’re doing here!?

The new tires weren’t the same diameter inside and out, so needed a bit of trimming to sit straight. I managed to get the brakes finished and the wheels mounted to set the ride height. I managed to break the turn signal lever while stripping the dash so had to fab a new one. I think kit levers tend to look a little too thick anyway usually.? I pinned the mirror and fabbed up a speaker grill from a paint strainer screen before re-painting it. The round decals need to be trimmed very close to fit in the pods but they all went down pretty nicely. I also managed to break the passenger grab handle, so I made one from a bobby pin…it ain’t gonna break again.?

Thanks Guys! I’m slowly picking away at it.?

Good thing that you stuck with it Joe. It looks good!?

Butter is actually healthier than margarine and definitely tastes better.

I made a similar one using 1/16” brass tube and a piece of 1/8” o.d. x .100” long styrene tube. The wire is .020” diameter and I don’t recall if I reamed the styrene tube or not.

Movie theatres make the most expensive popcorn.

Build the darn thing already I keep telling myself.

Nice going!? The painted wheels look much better.

I believe Milo was referring to the Paasche VL that Greg linked, which requires a siphon bottle.

Said the spider to the fly…”will you walk into my parlour”.

Ones and twos are Canadian banknotes that have been replaced by loonies and toonies.

Not on the road, but beside the road.?

Colonel Mustard did it in the conservatory with the lead pipe!

And this is Duplicolor Chevy engine orange, decanted and airbrushed.

Incorrectly deciphering the assembly instructions can yield botched results.

Cool!?

That color looks great on it, and I like your plan so far!?

Yeah, those wheels look better In my eyes. If you can’t get the roof straightened, you can always glue it on.?

Looking good!?
