Thanks! CT

and start afresh

Thanks Gene! I guess you could say it's a "mash-up pick-up" of sorts... CT

Hi Bruce! Great Cuda, your finish is perfect, as usual. Here's what I did with mine (V10 and many mods, no rear seat neither!). CT

Thanks David! At the NSRA Burlington, about 15 years ago, I saw a 1/1 30 Ford sedan that what subject to the same "flowing quarter panels" treatment. It made a good impression on me! CT

cerumen all around

Thanks Carl! You may have seen a few on this forum in the last years, however. CT

Hi! Legend has it that the idea for the car/pick-up hybrid came from Ford of Australia, when banks would lend money only on vehicles that "you could work with". The depression pushed ol' Henry to say yes out of financial savvy. So... Take Revell's Buttera sedan, alternate 29 roadster chassis and grille/rad combo, and Copperhead rolling stock, plus AMT's 32 Ford fenders, and 4.3L V6, all extensively modified. Scratchbuilt: roof, firewall, bed floor, long hood & side panels, interior panels and console, hood hinge, tailights, rear suspension bars, quarter-elliptic front suspension, axle, rack & pinion,brakes. Tamya's Pearl yellow, fully polished. Revell's spray chrome & Molotow accents. Hours of fun with styrene! CT

Hi! Most kits, whatever the brand, have glass units that mount from the inside of the body, and rare are those that are beveled to "slide in" the opening. I see what you are looking for, the "flush fit" look. Well, my friend, you'll have to sand and trim to obtain that look. It's possible, just a lot of work (see pic). CT

Hi! For one, the second thing I verify after I establish stance and rake with the rolling stock is... The fit of the kit glass! Indeed, it is frustrating if a nice build gets marred by poorly fitting glass. The culprit is most often the windshield, and sanding, bending and other measures are often needed. I resit the urge to adjust the glass SURROUND (posts, cowl and roof) to the actual glass. I do the opposite. And I always separate one-piece glass unit to its multiple sections, for ease of adjustment. Good luck! CT CT

Hi! A few that I've built over the last three years... CT
