First ever order from Texas3d.? Beautiful looking stuff!

That is really looking nice!??

No point in starting another thread I think. I just want to add to this great tutorial how I went about fixing an ugly floor mat. I scraped out the interior section, leaving the border intact. Added a sliver of styrene to repair the outer edge and scraped it to shape. Then used a photo etch saw blade to scrape ridges into a piece of .015” thick styrene using a piece of metal as a guide fence. Cut it to size and glue in place with CA. Any fine tooth saw will work, but preferably one with non-directional teeth.

Parsons are members of the Clergy, and we all know that’s as far as we can go on that subject.?

Looking good!?

Nope…I took the photo of the car myself. It is not manipulated in any way.

Very NICE!??

Nice clean looking little street rod.

I have one of these so I’m interested to see where you go with it.?

There’s a set on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185284895979

Yes, the detail is very faint…however, I think I’ll quit while I’m ahead.? I have some file marks to clean up and the lip up on the rear package shelf to complete.

Strongly recommended is researching 1:1 vehicles and also past builds on the forum.

The front seats are pretty horrible in this kit too as well as the window cranks and armrests that are almost nonexistent. So I decided to scratch build some and modify the seats. I got the sculpting done on the interior 1/4 panels. It’s a tad deeper than the faint door panels, but good enough for me.?

Older model kits may not be as detailed as newer ones but they can still be fun to build.

Yeah for sure…but you would think when they discovered it they could update the top section that claims it is out for delivery by end of day.?

Canada Post!? I enter the tracking # and it says out for delivery by end of day. So I wait around all day, checking occasionally for updates. Then about 6pm, I scroll down to review the tracking history and find that the package is not even in Winnipeg…it’s in Scarborough.??? ? If it’s in Scarborough at 1:43pm, it sure ain’t being delivered in Winnipeg today!?

Orange is a color you see everywhere around Halloween.

Now that’s being resourceful! They look great.?

That turned out really looking good Bob! I think the attitude is just right.?

That is Wild! Well done John.?

Great work Craig!? The paint job turned out great and the wheels look way better than the kit pieces.?

Beautiful work Scott. I love all the little Halloween details.??

Just some pics pulled off Pinterest…maybe photoshopped or AI generated.

Excellent work John. The black/red looks fabulous on it.?

A car well worth saving, and you did a terrific job Brian!??
