Super cool.

Nice buys. I use spraygunner for all of my Createx paints. They have great prices and great service.

I would just buy a Factory 5 kit for that kind of money.

The wife and I watched that today. We enjoyed it very much.

Let's not forget Gam Gam from Beerfest.

That's a nice clean cut. Looking forward to the rest of the build. I feel you on the little ones. My first was born at the end of 2018 and I'm lucky to get 2 hours a week to do anything.

Very, very, very nice. I like everything about it.

This thread keeps getting better and better.

Looks great. I like what you did with the windshield.

I had a '90 Tbird Super Coupe. I loved that car. Unfortunately, just about everything went bad within a 3 month period and I got rid of it.

That's a great idea. These spatulas are great for mixing silicone: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Screen-Printing-Stainless-Steel-Ink-Spatula-/272721367567 I work for a silicone manufacturer and we use spatulas similar to these to hand mix in the lab.

That engine looks great.

That's what I will be using for my final assembly of bare plastic. I was trying tacky glue because I haven't had good luck using tape to temporarily hold parts together. It tends to stick to my fingers better than plastic. Of course, I haven't tried my Tamiya tape yet.

Man, some of you are really getting things done. I've only had about 1.5 hours of time to do anything, and most of that time was taken up waiting for the tacky glue to dry. Keep up the great work, guys. ?

Well, the USPS finally released my package from Model Builder's Warehouse after holding it for 3 weeks. I know, first world problems. Anyway, on the left and right we have a Ford coyote 5.0 and Recaro seats from Clearly Scale. In the middle is a set of 15" Minilites with tires from Fireball Model Works. It all looks like quality parts. This was my first order from Model Builder's Warehouse and I am highly satisfied.

Another airbrush that will probably just sit on a shelf.

I'm a huge fan of this car. You did a great job.

Have you tried the backside of the lens to see how it looks? My painting skills suck so I usually use a red sharpie if it's a smaller part.

Looking good.

I don't have much to show at this point. Rear end and front spindles tacked in place to see which of my options to cover the tires, if any, will work. 1 option has already been ruled out.

I couldn't find anything in my spares that I was willing to use for my build, so I ordered these: https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/collections/detail-parts/products/clearly-scale-recaro-style-2-seats-with-decals-set-of-2-1-25th-scale Not a bad price. I just need the USPS to stop holding them hostage.

My number 1 online place is scalehobbyist. Good prices and quick service. I don't buy a lot of Tamiya paint so I can't comment on their selection.

Looking good so far. As to plug wires, I would go with yellow with black boots.

Great work. I love that color.

My main goal is to cover the wheels. How I'm going to do that is my biggest question. As I mentioned in my entry post, I have 3 ideas. I just need to figure out which one best fits my skillset.
