They are from this kit.

Here is a chart showing the body styles and you can see the difference in the chrome trims. Also a pic of the Two Lane Blacktop ‘55 that may help you decide on the look you want. Edit: the 150 and 210 models don’t have chrome trim on the front fender…only a raised ridge. The BelAir has a chrome molding that extends onto the door.

Years pass by at an ever increasing rate.

Sky scrapers need a really solid foundation.

It is not a bandsaw at all. Mattel actually calls it a jigsaw, but I believe it would more accurately be called a “Scroll Saw”. Jigsaws are portable hand held devices with the blade attached at one end. Scroll saws are bench mounted with the blade attached at both ends.

Very nicely done!👍

Beautiful build!😎

That color looks really great on it!👍😎

Terms of the contract clearly stated that Johnny Blaze owed his soul to Mephistopheles.

Unfortunately Roger (Plowboy) passed away a couple of years ago. I dug up the thread on his Jeepster but all he says is that they are 38” Swampers. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/145743-67-jeepster/

This is what I filtered out of a previously used bottle of paint.

Clothes are best worn in multiple layers when the mercury drops to 30 below zero.

Singers are nice sewing machines I was told by a seamstress.

Is your air compressor able to keep up with the demand?

For the most part, I like hacking models apart and gluing them back together more than the finishing.

I have no experience with this particular airbrush, but make sure your paint is thinned sufficiently. You could possibly add a retarder to your acrylic paints.

Thanks David. I made a spatula tip for the iron from an 8-32 brass machine screw. I also chopped up some of the kit sprue into little pellets for filler. I can pick up the pellets with the hot iron and after a second or two it liquifies and can be sculpted into the seam. I’ve had a bit of “cold lap” in spots where I’ve feathered the edges and when cool I just hit it with a bit of Tamiya thin to cement it solidly. All in all it seems like a useful technique.

“Sock it to me” reminds me of the ‘60s tv show Laugh-in.

Beautiful work all around Marcos, and that roof is spot on!👍

It’s looking awesome Steve! That is a really nice engine to use.👍 I’m sure Roger would be proud of your tribute.

It’s coming along nicely. I really like that engine!

Sister Mary Elephant fills in for sister Rosetta Stone while she takes a small “vacation”.

Yes, looks like a nice smooth transition!👍😎

AMT made the windshield to door transition far too squared off in my opinion. It should have a more sweeping curve. I started by making a cut underneath the upper door trim and along the base of the windshield trim., then removed approximately 1/16” of the door trim. I pushed the two sections together to close the gap and glued them together with CA. I watched a video where Doug Whyte sectioned a car by melting the pieces back together with a soldering iron….so I figured I would try it. I wound up with a dip in the area and had to cut it apart and raise the trim with wedges to get a smoother transition. I think I like this plastic welding…no waiting for glue or filler to dry.😎 I got rid of the A pillar and rounded the roof corner a bit. A bit of filing and sanding and it’s looking a little better. I made a pattern from card stock and some different diameter masking tape circles to design a new A pillar. The card stock conforms nicely to the curves with no wrinkles, so I should be able to make a new windshield from clear sheet. But…before I fab the new A pillar, I want to lower the roof ever so slightly. I still have to duplicate my efforts on the drivers side yet too.

More expensive than a coat hanger, but Tig welding filler rods are a good source of stiff wire also. They come in 36” lengths and either 1/16 or 3/32” diameter would be suitable.
