Nice work so far Len!👍 I never really realized how elegant these T-Birds were.😎

Lamont is a small town in Albert, between Chipman and Beaverhill.

This pasted on label on the box says Round2 2012…so I don’t think it is an original.

I think the author is a bit paranoid. I’ve only recently taken up modeling again, but I only know of two styrene related fatalities.🙄 (Just kidding and my apologies to anyone who has lost a loved one.)

Picked this up today at a local flea market. I’d never even heard of it before.😎

Regard it if you didn’t gard it properly in the first place.

Trail mix can make a nice healthy snack.

Spaghetti westerns are a unique genre.

Some people have trouble following simple instructions, which in the model building world can lead to disastrous glue-bombs or awesomely beautiful creations.

Automobile repair mechanics get a bad rap due to the greed and/or incompetence of relatively small number.

Now the weather channel tells us to expect +4C on tuesday….that’s 39.2F for those of you who are metrically challenged.😎

Beautiful work Steve. That is indeed a nice engine…I put one in my T-Bird. I like the colored accents to tie things together too.👍😎

No Kurt, the black stuff is sprue glue made with the spue from the same kit. When completely dry (which takes a long time even in the dehydrator) it should have the same consistency as the rest of the body…not that it matters since I have used Evergreen also. Edit: You should get back on that Mercedes Kurt, it is coming along nicely!😎

Thanks! No I was not aware of that car but was wondering what Jim meant in his first response. I did however run across your old build today. I was thinking that the Corvette coves might clash with the rear fender bulges….but it looks good on yours.

Not his fault…the cat put him up to it….they are such instigators.🙄

This is the first time I’ve tried it and I just had one of the A pillars break loose…so I recommend experimenting with it on a junk body. Edit: here’s a link to Doug Whyte’s video where I got the idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uupXs7M1R6s

Genie lift is something we used a lot in the HVAC trade.

Thanks! Old school cheapo.

I made a windshield blank from a pop can, taped it in place and then added some Milliput to blend the A pillars in. I corrected the hood corners and re-engineered the door/A-pillar/ hood interface. I had to trim about 1/8” off the rear edge of the roof to get a smooth glass angle. I’ve made glass patterns from card stock so I should be able to make new glass from clear flat sheet. Also removed all the chrome trim…not sure yet if I will replace it with smaller half round?

I prefer a “welded” seam wherever possible. JMO.

Day is starting out a tad chilly,🥶

I don’t believe the “vote” was against it. The more I refine it the better it looks in my eye. The slanted B pillar does give it a slightly Chevy or Plymouth vibe?…not a bad thing I think, but die-hard Ford fans may get their panties in a knot?😳 I figured it deserves its own thread in case I continue to pursue it.

Way to persevere Micah! It sure seems to be fighting you…particularly frustrating when it’s supposed to be a slump buster build..🥴 It’s looking good now!👍

Now that I look closer, I guess the PVC is only an exhaust baffle of sorts for when he releases the pressure. The supply must be piped in at the back or somewhere.

Kleenex is just a disposable handerchief.
